6 sane-fujitsu - SANE backend for Fujitsu flatbed and ADF scanners
7
10 The sane-fujitsu library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
11 backend which provides access to most Fujitsu flatbed and ADF scanners.
12 This document describes backend version 134, which shipped with SANE
14 1.0.28.
15
18 This version supports every known model which speaks the Fujitsu SCSI
19 and SCSI-over-USB protocols. Specifically, the SCSI M309x and M409x
20 series, the SCSI fi-series, most of the USB fi-series, the USB ScanSnap
21 S5xx/S15xx, and the USB iX1xx/5xx series scanners are supported. Please
22 see the list at http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html
23 for details.
24 This backend may support other Fujitsu scanners. The best way to deter‐
26 mine level of support is to test the scanner directly, or to collect a
27 trace of the windows driver in action. Please contact the author for
28 help or with test results.
29
32 The following scanners are known NOT to work with this backend, either
33 because they have a non-fujitsu chipset, or an unsupported interface
34 type. Some of these scanners may be supported by another backend.

48 Effort has been made to expose all hardware options, including:
49 source s
51 Selects the source for the scan. Options may include "Flatbed",
52 "ADF Front", "ADF Back", "ADF Duplex".
53 mode m
55 Selects the mode for the scan. Options may include "Lineart",
56 "Halftone", "Gray", and "Color".
57 resolution, y-resolution
59 Controls scan resolution. Setting --resolution also sets
60 --y-resolution, though this behavior is overridden by some fron‐
61 tends.
62 tl-x, tl-y, br-x, br-y
64 Sets scan area upper left and lower right coordinates. These are
65 renamed t, l, x, y by some frontends.
66 page-width, page-height
68 Sets paper size. Used by scanner to determine centering of scan
69 coordinates when using ADF and to detect double feed errors.
70 Other options will be available based on the capabilities of the scan‐
72 ner: machines with IPC or DTC will have additional enhancement options,
73 those with CMP will have compression options, those with a printer will
74 have a group of endorser options.
75 Additionally, several 'software' options are exposed by the backend.
77 These are reimplementations of features provided natively by larger
78 scanners, but running on the host computer. This enables smaller
79 machines to have similar capabilities. Please note that these features
80 are somewhat simplistic, and may not perform as well as the native
81 implementations. Note also that these features all require that the
82 driver cache the entire image in memory. This will almost certainly
83 result in a reduction of scanning speed.
84 Use 'scanimage --help' to get a list, but be aware that some options
86 may be settable only when another option has been set, and that
87 advanced options may be hidden by some frontend programs.
88
90 The configuration file "fujitsu.conf" is used to tell the backend how
91 to look for scanners, and provide options controlling the operation of
92 the backend. This file is read each time the frontend asks the backend
93 for a list of scanners, generally only when the frontend starts. If the
94 configuration file is missing, the backend will be unable to locate any
95 scanners.
96 Scanners can be specified in the configuration file in 4 ways:
98 "scsi FUJITSU"
100 Requests backend to search all scsi busses in the system for a
101 device which reports itself to be a scanner made by 'FUJITSU'.
102 "scsi /dev/sg0" (or other scsi device file)
104 Requests backend to open the named scsi device. Only useful if
105 you have multiple compatible scanners connected to your system,
106 and need to specify one. Probably should not be used with the
107 other "scsi" line above.
108 "usb 0x04c5 0x1042" (or other vendor/product ids)
110 Requests backend to search all usb busses in the system for a
111 device which uses that vendor and product id. The device will
112 then be queried to determine if it is a Fujitsu scanner.
113 "usb /dev/usb/scanner0" (or other device file)
115 Some systems use a kernel driver to access usb scanners. This
116 method is untested.
117 The only configuration option supported is "buffer-size=xxx", allowing
119 you to set the number of bytes in the data buffer to something other
120 than the compiled-in default, 65536 (64K). Some users report that their
121 scanner will "hang" mid-page, or fail to transmit the image if the buf‐
122 fer is not large enough.
123 Note: This option may appear multiple times in the configuration file.
125 It only applies to scanners discovered by 'scsi/usb' lines that follow
126 this option.
127 Note: The backend does not place an upper bound on this value, as some
129 users required it to be quite large. Values above the default are not
130 recommended, and may crash your OS or lockup your scsi card driver. You
131 have been warned.
132
134 The backend uses a single environment variable, SANE_DEBUG_FUJITSU,
135 which enables debugging output to stderr. Valid values are:
136 5 Errors
138 10 Function trace
139 15 Function detail
140 20 Option commands
141 25 SCSI/USB trace
142 30 SCSI/USB writes
143 31 SCSI/USB reads
144 35 Useless noise
145
148 Flatbed units may fail to scan at maximum area, particularly at high
149 resolution.
150 Any model that does not support VPD during inquiry will not function
152 until an override is added to the backend.
153 CCITT Fax compression used by older scanners is not supported.
155 JPEG output is supported by the backend, but not by the SANE protocol,
157 so is disabled in this release. It can be enabled if you rebuild from
158 source.
