NAME

6       sane-dc25 - SANE backend for Kodak DC20/DC25 Digital Cameras
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The sane-dc25 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) back‐
10       end that provides access to Kodak DC20 and DC25 cameras.   At  present,
11       only  the  DC25  has been tested, but since the code is based on a DC20
12       interface program, it is likely to work for that model also.
13

DEVICE NAMES

15       The current version of the backend only allows one camera  to  be  con‐
16       nected.  The device name is always "0".
17

CONFIGURATION

19       The  contents of the dc25.conf specify the serial port and baud rate to
20       use.  The baud rate specifies the maximum rate to use while downloading
21       pictures.   (The  camera  is  always  initialized using 9600 baud, then
22       switches to the higher rate).  On my 90MHz Pentium, I usually  have  no
23       problems downloading at 115200 baud as long as the system is not exces‐
24       sively busy and the "interrupt-unmask flag" is set in  the  IDE  driver
25       (hdparm -u1).  Supported baud rates are: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and
26       115200.
27
28       The dumpinquiry line causes some information about  the  camera  to  be
29       printed  to  stderr during startup.  Note:  This is not compatible with
30       saned, so make sure you don't have any dumpinquiry  lines  if  you  are
31       using saned (i.e. scanning on a remote machine using a network).
32
33       Empty  lines  and  lines  starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored.  A
34       sample configuration file is shown below:
35
36              port=/dev/ttyS0
37              # this is a comment
38              baud=115200
39              dumpinquiry

FILES

42       /etc/sane.d/dc25.conf
43              The  backend  configuration  file  (see  also   description   of
44              SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).
45
46       /usr/lib*/sane/libsane-dc25.a
47              The static library implementing this backend.
48
49       /usr/lib*/sane/libsane-dc25.so
50              The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
51              that support dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT

55       SANE_CONFIG_DIR
56              This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
57              may contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories
58              are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they  are  separated
59              by a semi-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the config‐
60              uration file is searched in two default directories: first,  the
61              current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d.  If the
62              value of the environment variable ends with the directory  sepa‐
63              rator character, then the default directories are searched after
64              the explicitly  specified  directories.   For  example,  setting
65              SANE_CONFIG_DIR  to  "/tmp/config:"  would result in directories
66              "tmp/config", ".", and "/etc/sane.d"  being  searched  (in  this
67              order).
68
69       SANE_DEBUG_DC25
70              If the library was compiled with debugging support enabled, this
71              environment variable controls the debug level for this  backend.
72              A  value of 128 requests maximally copious debug output; smaller
73              levels reduce verbosity.

BUGS

85       Known bugs/limitations are:
86
87       I haven't figured out how to  trigger  an  option  reload  following  a
88       "scan."   This  causes problems when a new picture is snapped for exam‐
89       ple, the slider that is used to select the picture from the camera  may
90       not be updated immediately.
91

93       SANE  should  go   to   the   SANE   Developers   mailing   list   (see
