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.

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

138 To use your scanner with this backend, you need at least two entries in
139 the configuration file /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
140 [usb] vendor-id product-id
141 device /dev/usbscanner
142 [usb] tells the backend, that the following devicename (here /dev/usb‐
144 scanner) has to be interpreted as USB scanner device. If vendor- and
145 product-id has not been specified, the backend tries to detect this by
146 its own. If device is set to auto then the next matching device is
147 used.
148 The following options can be used for a default setup of your device.
149 Most of them are also available through the frontend.
150 The Options:
152 option warmup t
154 t specifies the warmup period in seconds, if set to -1, the
155 automatic warmup function will be used
156 option lampOff t
158 t is the time in seconds for switching off the lamps in standby
159 mode
160 option lOffonEnd b
162 b specifies the behaviour when closing the backend, 1 --> switch
163 lamps off, 0 --> do not change lamp status
164 option mov m
166 m is the model override switch. It works only with Mustek
167 BearPaw devices.
168 m/PID | 0x1000 | 0x1001
169 ------+--------------+--------------
170 0 | BearPaw 1200 | BearPaw 2400
171 1 | no function | BearPaw 1200
172 option invertNegatives b
174 b 0 --> do not invert the picture during negativ scans,
175 1 --> invert picture
176 option cacheCalData b
178 b 0 --> do not save calibration results,
179 1 --> save results of calibration in ~/.sane/ directory
180 option altCalibration b
182 b 0 --> use standard calibration routines,
183 1 --> use alternate calibration (only non Plustek devices, stan‐
184 dard for CIS devices)
185 option skipFine b
187 b 0 --> perform fine calibration,
188 1 --> skip fine calibration (only non Plustek devices)
189 option skipFineWhite b
191 b 0 --> perform white fine calibration,
192 1 --> skip white fine calibration (only non Plustek devices)
193 option skipDarkStrip b
195 b 0 --> perform dark calibration, with enabled lamp using the
196 dark calibration strip of the scanner. If the scanner does not
197 have such a strip, the alternative way is to switch off the lamp
198 during this step.
199 1 --> always switch off the lamp for dark calibration, even a
200 black strip is available
201 option skipCalibration b
203 b 0 --> perform calibration,
204 1 --> skip calibration (only non Plustek devices)
205 option enableTPA b
207 b 0 --> default behaviour, specified by the internal tables,
208 1 --> override internal tables and allow TPA mode (EPSON/UMAX
209 only)
210 option posOffX x
213 option posOffY y
214 option tpaOffX x
215 option tpaOffY y
216 option negOffX x
217 option negOffY y
218 x y By using this settings, the user can adjust the given image
219 positions. Please note, that there's no internal range checking
220 for this feature.
221 option posShadingY p
223 option tpaShadingY p
224 option negShadingY p
225 p overrides the internal shading position. The values are in
226 steps. Please note, that there's no internal range checking for
227 this feature.
228 option redGamma r
230 option greenGamma g
231 option blueGamma b
232 option grayGamma gr
233 r g b gr
234 By using these values, the internal linear gamma table (r,g,b,gr = 1.0)
235 can be adjusted.
236 option red_gain r
238 option red_offset ro
239 option green_gain g
240 option green_offset go
241 option blue_gain b
242 option blue_offset bo
243 r g b ro go bo These values can be used to set the gain and off‐
244 set values of the AFE for each channel. The range is between 0
245 and 63. -1 means autocalibration.
246 See the plustek.conf file for examples.
249 Note:
251 You have to make sure, that the USB subsystem is loaded correctly and
252 you have access to the device-node. For more details see sane-usb (5)
253 manpage. You might use sane-find-scanner to check that you have access
254 to your device.
255 Note:
257 If there's no configuration file, the backend defaults to device auto
258
261 /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
262 The backend configuration file
263 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-plustek.a
265 The static library implementing this backend.
266 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-plustek.so
268 The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
269 that support dynamic loading).
270
273 SANE_CONFIG_DIR
274 This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
275 may contain the configuration file. Under UNIX, the directories
276 are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated
277 by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the config‐
278 uration file is searched in two default directories: first, the
279 current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d. If the
280 value of the environment variable ends with the directory sepa‐
281 rator character, then the default directories are searched after
282 the explicitly specified directories. For example, setting
283 SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories
284 "tmp/config", ".", and "/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this
285 order).
286 SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK
288 If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
289 environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
290 Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.
291 Example: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=10

296 sane(7), sane-usb(5), sane-u12(5), sane-gt68xx(5),

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

308 or directly from the projects' homepage at:
310 http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek/
311 To obtain debug messages from the backend, please set the environment-
313 variable SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK before calling your favorite scan-frontend
314 (i.e. xscanimage).
315 i.e.: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=20 ; xscanimage
316 The value controls the verbosity of the backend. Please note, that val‐
318 ues greater than 24 force the backend to output raw data files, which
319 could be rather large. The ending of these files is ".raw". For prob‐
320 lem reports it should be enough the set the verbosity to 13.
321
324 * The driver does not support these manic scalings up to 16 times the
325 physical resolution. The only scaling is done on resolutions between
326 the physical resolution of the CCD-/CIS-sensor and the stepper motor
327 i.e. you have a 600x1200 dpi scanner and you are scanning using 800dpi,
328 so scaling is necessary, because the sensor only delivers 600dpi but
329 the motor is capable to perform 1200dpi steps.
330 * Plusteks' model policy is somewhat inconsistent. They sell techni‐
332 cally different devices under the same product name. Therefore it is
333 possible that some devices like the UT12 or U12 won't work - please
334 check the model list above and compare the product-id to the one your
335 device has.
336 * Negative/Slide scanning quality is poor.
