6 sane-lexmark - SANE backend for Lexmark X1100/X1200 Series scanners
7
9 The sane-lexmark library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
10 backend that provides access to the scanner part of Lexmark X1100/X1200
11 AIOs. This backend should be considered beta-quality software!
12 The scanners that should work with this backend are:
14 Vendor Model status
16 ---------------------- -----------
17 Lexmark X74 good
18 Lexmark X1110 untested
19 Lexmark X1140 untested
20 Lexmark X1150 good
21 Lexmark X1170 good
22 Lexmark X1180 good
23 Lexmark X1185 complete
24 Lexmark X12xx good in USB1.1,
25 not fully tested in USB2.0
26 Dell A920 good
27 The options the backend supports can either be selected through command
29 line options to programs like scanimage or through GUI elements in
30 xscanimage or xsane.
31 If you have any strange behavior, please report to the backend main‐
33 tainer or to the SANE mailing list.
34 Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using
36 scanimage --help -d lexmark:usb:<usb port>
37 Scan Mode Options
40 --mode selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner valid choices
43 are Color, Gray and Lineart The default mode is Color. The Lin‐
44 eart mode is black and white only (1 bit). Grayscale will pro‐
45 duce 256 levels of gray (8 bits). Color mode allows for over 16
46 million different colors produced from 24 bits of color informa‐
47 tion.
48 --resolution
51 selects the resolution for a scan. The horizontal and vertical
52 resolutions are set by the value of this option. The scanner is
53 capable of the following resolutions for the specified option
54 value:
55 Value Hor. Resolution Vert. Resolution
57 ----- --------------- -------------------
58 75 75dpi 75dpi
59 150 150dpi 150dpi
60 300 300dpi 300dpi
61 600 600dpi 600dpi
62 1200 600dpi 1200dpi (only for X11xx models with 'B2' sensor)
63 --preview
66 requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 75
67 dpi and the scan area and the scan mode are as specified through
68 their options, or the default if not specified. The default
69 value for preview mode is "no".
70 --threshold
73 selects the minimum-brightness to get a white point. The
74 threshold is only used with Lineart mode scans. It is specified
75 as a percentage in the range 0..100% (in steps of 1). The
76 default value of the threshold option is 50.
77
81 The configuration file /etc/sane.d/lexmark.conf contains only the usb
82 device id (eg usb 0x043d 0x007c).
83
87 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-lexmark.a
88 The static library implementing this backend.
89 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-lexmark.so
91 The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
92 that support dynamic loading).
93
97 SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK
98 SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK_LOW If the library was compiled with debug
99 support enabled, this environment variable controls the debug
100 level for this backend. E.g., a value of 255 requests all debug
101 output to be printed. Smaller levels reduce verbosity.
102
106 The windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE backend.
107 However they are only software adjustments. This backend only imple‐
108 ments what the scanner can support. For instance, shading correction
109 (vertical stripes due to sensor variation across its width) is done in
110 software. Head park position is also detected by software. The data
111 compression isn't supported for the X1200 series on USB 1.1, leading to
112 slow scans.
113
116 No bugs currently known.

136 Many thanks go to:
137 Julien Furgerot who lend me a Dell A920. Robert Price, Dani Ele
138 and Dalai Felinto for the time they spent recording USB activity
139 and testing the experimental version.
