6 sane-plustek - SANE backend for LM983[1/2/3] based USB flatbed scanners
7
9 The sane-plustek library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
10 backend that provides access to USB flatbed scanners based on National
11 Semiconductor Merlin chipsets (LM9831, 9832 and 9833). If you're look‐
12 ing for parallel-port support for Plustek scanner please refer to the
13 sane-plustek_pp backend.
14
17 The Backend is able to support USB scanner based on the National Semi‐
18 conductor chipsets LM9831, LM9832 and LM9833. The following tables show
19 various devices which are currently reported to work. If your Plustek
20 scanner has another Product ID, then the device is NOT supported by
21 this backend.

116 For parallelport device support see the plustek_pp backend.
117 The SCSI scanner OpticPro 19200S is a rebadged Artec AM12S scanner and
118 is supported by the Artec backend.
119 Only the National Semiconductor LM983[1/2/] based devices of Plustek
120 are supported by this backend. Older versions of the U12, the UT12, the
121 U1212 and U1248 (GrandTech chipset) are not supported.

137 To use your scanner with this backend, you need at least two entries in
138 the configuration file /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
139 [usb] vendor-id product-id
140 device /dev/usbscanner
141 [usb] tells the backend, that the following devicename (here /dev/usb‐
143 scanner) has to be interpreted as USB scanner device. If vendor- and
144 product-id has not been specified, the backend tries to detect this by
145 its own. If device is set to auto then the next matching device is
146 used.
147 The following options can be used for a default setup of your device.
148 Most of them are also available through the frontend.
149 The Options:
151 option warmup t
153 t specifies the warmup period in seconds, if set to -1, the
154 automatic warmup function will be used
155 option lampOff t
157 t is the time in seconds for switching off the lamps in standby
158 mode
159 option lOffonEnd b
161 b specifies the behaviour when closing the backend, 1 --> switch
162 lamps off, 0 --> do not change lamp status
163 option mov m
165 m is the model override switch. It works only with Mustek
166 BearPaw devices.
167 m/PID | 0x1000 | 0x1001
168 ------+--------------+--------------
169 0 | BearPaw 1200 | BearPaw 2400
170 1 | no function | BearPaw 1200
171 option invertNegatives b
173 b 0 --> do not invert the picture during negativ scans,
174 1 --> invert picture
175 option cacheCalData b
177 b 0 --> do not save calibration results,
178 1 --> save results of calibration in ~/.sane/ directory
179 option altCalibration b
181 b 0 --> use standard calibration routines,
182 1 --> use alternate calibration (only non Plustek devices, stan‐
183 dard for CIS devices)
184 option skipFine b
186 b 0 --> perform fine calibration,
187 1 --> skip fine calibration (only non Plustek devices)
188 option skipFineWhite b
190 b 0 --> perform white fine calibration,
191 1 --> skip white fine calibration (only non Plustek devices)
192 option skipDarkStrip b
194 b 0 --> perform dark calibration, with enabled lamp using the
195 dark calibration strip of the scanner. If the scanner does not
196 have such a strip, the alternative way is to switch off the lamp
197 during this step.
198 1 --> always switch off the lamp for dark calibration, even a
199 black strip is available
200 option skipCalibration b
202 b 0 --> perform calibration,
203 1 --> skip calibration (only non Plustek devices)
204 option enableTPA b
206 b 0 --> default behaviour, specified by the internal tables,
207 1 --> override internal tables and allow TPA mode (EPSON/UMAX
208 only)
209 option posOffX x
212 option posOffY y
213 option tpaOffX x
214 option tpaOffY y
215 option negOffX x
216 option negOffY y
217 x y By using this settings, the user can adjust the given image
218 positions. Please note, that there's no internal range checking
219 for this feature.
220 option posShadingY p
222 option tpaShadingY p
223 option negShadingY p
224 p overrides the internal shading position. The values are in
225 steps. Please note, that there's no internal range checking for
226 this feature.
227 option redGamma r
229 option greenGamma g
230 option blueGamma b
231 option grayGamma gr
232 r g b gr
233 By using these values, the internal linear gamma table (r,g,b,gr = 1.0)
234 can be adjusted.
235 option red_gain r
237 option red_offset ro
238 option green_gain g
239 option green_offset go
240 option blue_gain b
241 option blue_offset bo
242 r g b ro go bo These values can be used to set the gain and off‐
243 set values of the AFE for each channel. The range is between 0
244 and 63. -1 means autocalibration.
245 See the plustek.conf file for examples.
248 Note:
250 You have to make sure, that the USB subsystem is loaded correctly and
251 you have access to the device-node. For more details see sane-usb (5)
252 manpage. You might use sane-find-scanner to check that you have access
253 to your device.
254 Note:
256 If there's no configuration file, the backend defaults to device auto
257
260 /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
261 The backend configuration file
262 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-plustek.a
264 The static library implementing this backend.
265 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-plustek.so
267 The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
268 that support dynamic loading).
269
272 SANE_CONFIG_DIR
273 This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
274 may contain the configuration file. Under UNIX, the directories
275 are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated
276 by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the config‐
277 uration file is searched in two default directories: first, the
278 current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d. If the
279 value of the environment variable ends with the directory sepa‐
280 rator character, then the default directories are searched after
281 the explicitly specified directories. For example, setting
282 SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories
283 "tmp/config", ".", and "/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this
284 order).
285 SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK
287 If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
288 environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
289 Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.
290 Example: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=10
292
295 sane(7), sane-usb(5), sane-u12(5), sane-gt68xx(5),

301 Please send any information and bug-reports to:
302 SANE Mailing List
303 Additional info and hints can be obtained from our
305 Mailing-List archive at:

307 or directly from the projects' homepage at:
309 http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek/
310 To obtain debug messages from the backend, please set the environment-
312 variable SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK before calling your favorite scan-frontend
313 (i.e. xscanimage).
314 i.e.: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=20 ; xscanimage
315 The value controls the verbosity of the backend. Please note, that val‐
317 ues greater than 24 force the backend to output raw data files, which
318 could be rather large. The ending of these files is ".raw". For prob‐
319 lem reports it should be enough the set the verbosity to 13.
320
323 * The driver does not support these manic scalings up to 16 times the
324 physical resolution. The only scaling is done on resolutions between
325 the physical resolution of the CCD-/CIS-sensor and the stepper motor
326 i.e. you have a 600x1200 dpi scanner and you are scanning using 800dpi,
327 so scaling is necessary, because the sensor only delivers 600dpi but
328 the motor is capable to perform 1200dpi steps.
329 * Plusteks' model policy is somewhat inconsistent. They sell techni‐
331 cally different devices under the same product name. Therefore it is
332 possible that some devices like the UT12 or U12 won't work - please
333 check the model list above and compare the product-id to the one your
334 device has.
335 * Negative/Slide scanning quality is poor.
