6 sane-teco3 - SANE backend for TECO / RELISYS scanners
7
9 The sane-teco3 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 alpha-quality software! TECO scanners are
12 sold under various brands like RELYSIS, PIOTECH, TRUST. This backend
13 may or may not support yours.
14 The scanners that should work with this backend are:
16 Vendor Model TECO model status
18 --------------------------- ---------- ----------
19 Relisys Scorpio VM3552 tested
20 Plustek OpticPro 2400SP VM3552 untested
21 PIOTECH Splendeur 3024 VM3552 tested
22 Trust Imagery 2400 SP VM3552 tested
23 Trust Imagery 4800 SP+ VM3552 tested
24 Trust Imagery 9600 SP VM3552 untested
25 The TECO VM number can usually be found at the back of the scanner. It
27 is also part of the FCC ID.
28 The options the backend supports can either be selected through command
30 line options to programs like scanimage(1) or through GUI elements in
31 xscanimage(1) or xsane(1).
32 If you have any success with a scanner not listed here, or if you
34 notice any strange behavior, please report to the backend maintainer or
35 to the SANE mailing list.
36
39 Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using:
40 scanimage --help -d teco3
42 Scan Mode
45 --mode Black & White|Grayscale|Color
48 Selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner. The Black &
49 White mode is black and white only (1 bit). Grayscale will pro‐
50 duce 256 levels of gray (8 bits). Color will produce a 24-bit
51 color image.
52 --resolution 1..1200
55 Selects the resolution for a scan. The scanner can do all reso‐
56 lutions between 1 and 1200, in increments of 1.
57 --preview
60 Requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 22
61 dpi and the scan area is the maximum allowed. The scan mode is
62 user selected. The default is "no".
63 Geometry options
66 -l -t -x -y
69 Control the scan area: -l sets the top left x coordinate, -t the
70 top left y coordinate, -x selects the width and -y the height of
71 the scan area. All parameters are specified in millimeters by
72 default.
73
76 --custom-gamma
77 Allows the user to specify a gamma table (see the next 3 parame‐
78 ters).
79 --red-gamma-table
82 Can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the red
83 channel. The table must be 1024 bytes long.
84 --green-gamma-table
87 Can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the green
88 channel. The table must be 1024 bytes long.
89 --blue-gamma-table
92 Can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the blue
93 channel. The table must be 1024 bytes long.
94
98 The configuration file /etc/sane.d/teco3.conf supports only one item:
99 the device name to use (eg /dev/scanner).
100
104 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-teco3.a
105 The static library implementing this backend.
106 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-teco3.so
108 The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
109 that support dynamic loading).
110
114 SANE_DEBUG_TECO3
115 If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
116 environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
117 E.g., a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed.
118 Smaller levels reduce verbosity.
119
123 The windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE backend.
124 However they are only software adjustments. This backend only imple‐
125 ments what the scanner can support.
126
130 Not much.
