11 The sane-umax1220 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
12 backend for the the UMAX Astra 1220U and similar scanners.
13
14 For more information on this backend, please visit
15 http://umax1220u-sane.sourceforge.net/.

19 This backend is also able to drive the UMAX Astra 1600U/2000U/2100U.
20 The 2100U is confirmed to work. For the other scanners no reports have
21 been received yet. Please contact us and tell us if your scanner works
22 (sane-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net).

26 Usually, no manual configuration is necessary. The configuration file
27 for this backend resides in /etc/sane.d/umax1220u.conf.
28
29 Its contents is a list of device names that correspond to UMAX Astra
30 scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are
31 ignored. A sample configuration file is shown below:
32
33 #usb vendor product
34 usb 0x1606 0x0010
35 # Device list for non-linux systems
36 /dev/scanner
37 /dev/usb/scanner0
38
39 See sane-usb(5) for information on how to set the access permissions on
40 the usb device files.

44 The backend configuration file:
45 /etc/sane.d/umax1220u.conf
46
47 The static library implementing this backend:
48 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-umax1220u.a
49
50 The shared library implementing this backend:
51 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-umax1220u.so (present on systems that
52 support dynamic loading)
53
54
56 SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U
57 If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
58 environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
59 E.g., a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed.
60 Smaller levels reduce verbosity:
61
62 SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U values
63
64 Number Remark
65 1 print failures
66 2 print information
67 3 print high-level function calls
68 4 print high-level function checkpoints
69 9 print mid-level function calls
70 10 print mid-level function checkpoints
71 80 print protocol-level function entry
72 90 print protocol-level function exit
73
74
75 Example:
76 export SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U=10
77
78
80 600 dpi scanning may fail for large image sizes.
81
82 If you keep getting I/O errors, try cycling the power on your scanner
83 to reset it.
84
85 There is no way to cancel a scan, since the driver ignores sane_can‐
86 cel().
87
88 If you try scanning an image which is too small, you will get I/O
89 errors. Be sure to adjust the scan area before doing a scan, since by
90 default, the scan area is zero.

110 This backend isn't actively maintained. Nevertheless, bug reports and
111 comments should be sent to the sane-devel mailing list. When reporting
112 bugs, please run the backend with SANE_DEBUG_UMAX1220U set to 10 and
113 attach a copy of the log messages.
