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(1) or through GUI elements in
48 xscanimage(1) or xsane(1).
49 If you have any success with a scanner not listed here, or if you
51 notice any strange behavior, please report to the backend maintainer or
52 to the SANE mailing list.
53 Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using:
55 scanimage --help -d teco1
57 Scan Mode
60 --mode Black & White|Grayscale|Color
63 Selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner valid choices
64 are The Black & White mode is black and white only (1 bit).
65 Grayscale will produce 256 levels of gray (8 bits). Color will
66 produce a 24 bits color image.
67 --resolution 1..600
70 Selects the resolution for a scan. The scanner can do all reso‐
71 lutions between 1 and 600, in increments of 1.
72 Geometry options
76 -l -t -x -y
79 Controls the scan area: -l sets the top left x coordinate, -t
80 the top left y coordinate, -x selects the width and -y the
81 height of the scan area. All parameters are specified in mil‐
82 limeters by default.
83 Enhancement options
87 --custom-gamma
90 (color mode only) allows the user to specify a gamma table (see
91 the next 3 parameters).
92 --red-gamma-table
95 Can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the red
96 channel. The table must be 256 bytes long. Color mode only.
97 --green-gamma-table
100 Can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the green
101 channel. The table must be 256 bytes long. Color mode only.
102 --blue-gamma-table
105 Can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the blue
106 channel. The table must be 256 bytes long. Color mode only.
107 --dither Line art|2x2|3x3|4x4 bayer|4x4 smooth|8x8 bayer|8x8 smooth|8x8
110 horizontal|8x8 vertical
111 Select the dither mask to use. Black & White only.
112 --preview
116 Requests a preview scan. The resolution used is 22 dpi and the
117 scan area is the maximum allowed. The scan mode is user
118 selected. The default is "no".
119
123 The configuration file /etc/sane.d/teco1.conf supports only one item:
124 the device name to use (eg /dev/scanner).
125
129 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-teco1.a
130 The static library implementing this backend.
131 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-teco1.so
133 The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
134 that support dynamic loading).
135
139 SANE_DEBUG_TECO1
140 If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
141 environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
142 E.g., a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed.
143 Smaller levels reduce verbosity.
144
148 The windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE backend.
149 However they are only software adjustments. This backend only imple‐
150 ments what the scanner can support.

155 None known.
