6 sane-teco1 - SANE backend for TECO / RELISYS scanners
7
9 The sane-teco1 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
10 backend that provides access to some TECO SCSI flatbed scanners. This
11 backend should be considered beta-quality software! TECO scanners are
12 sold under various brands like RELISYS, PIOTECH, TRUST. This backend
13 may or may not support yours.
14 The scanners that should work with this backend are:

38 Note that the untested scanner will not be directly supported. You
40 should contact the author for that.
41 The TECO VM number can usually be found at the back of the scanner. It
43 is also part of the FCC ID. "sane-find-scanner -v" will also show the
44 scsi inquiry, and if it is a TECO scanner, the name will be there too.
45 The options the backend supports can either be selected through command
47 line options to programs like scanimage or through GUI elements in
48 xscanimage or xsane.
49 If you have any success with a scanner not listed here, or if you have
51 any strange behavior, please report to the backend maintainer or to the
52 SANE mailing list.
53 Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using
55 scanimage --help -d teco1
56 Scan Mode
59 --mode selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner valid choices
62 are Black & White , Grayscale and Color The Black & White mode
63 is black and white only (1 bit). Grayscale will produce 256 lev‐
64 els of gray (8 bits). Color will produce a 24 bits color image.
65 --resolution
68 selects the resolution for a scan. The scanner can do all reso‐
69 lutions between 1 and 600, in increments of 1.
70 Geometry options
74 -l -t -x -y
77 control the scan area: -l sets the top left x coordinate, -t the
78 top left y coordinate, -x selects the width and -y the height of
79 the scan area. All parameters are specified in millimeters by
80 default.
81 Enhancement options
85 --custom-gamma
88 (color mode only) allows the user to specify a gamma table (see
89 the next 3 parameters).
90 --red-gamma-table
93 (color mode only) can be used to download a user defined gamma
94 table for the red channel. The table must be 256 bytes long.
95 --green-gamma-table
98 (color mode only) can be used to download a user defined gamma
99 table for the green channel. The table must be 256 bytes long.
100 --blue-gamma-table
103 (color mode only) can be used to download a user defined gamma
104 table for the blue channel. The table must be 256 bytes long.
105 --dither
108 (Black & White only) select the dither mask to use. Possible
109 values are Line art , 2x2 , 3x3 , 4x4 bayer , 4x4 smooth , 8x8
110 bayer , 8x8 smooth , 8x8 horizontal and 8x8 vertical
111 --preview
115 requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 22
116 dpi and the scan area is the maximum allowed. The scan mode is
117 user selected. The default is "no".
118
122 The configuration file /etc/sane.d/teco1.conf supports only one infor‐
123 mation: the device name to use (eg /dev/scanner).
124
128 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-teco1.a
129 The static library implementing this backend.
130 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-teco1.so
132 The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
133 that support dynamic loading).
134
138 SANE_DEBUG_TECO1
139 If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
140 environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
141 E.g., a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed.
142 Smaller levels reduce verbosity.
143
147 The windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE backend.
148 However they are only software adjustments. This backend only imple‐
149 ments what the scanner can support.

154 None known.
