NAME

6       sane-p5 - SANE backend for the Primax PagePartner
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The sane-p5 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend
10       that provides access to the Primax PagePartner parallel port sheet  fed
11       scanner.
12
13       This  backend  handles 100, 150, 200, 300 and 600 dpi scan resolutions,
14       in color and gray modes. The 600 dpi is  actually  300x600  with  lines
15       enlarged to match the vertical resolution.
16
17       EPP/ECP  MODES ONLY The current version of the backend uses only EPP or
18       ECP mode to communicate with the scanner. It is  recommended  that  you
19       set  your parallel port to EPP in BIOS with the current version of this
20       backend. ECPEPP will only work if you use a  2.4  or  2.6  kernel  with
21       ppdev character device support.
22

DEVICE NAMES

24       This backend expects device names of the form:
25
26              port value
27
28       Where value is :
29
30
31              auto   autodetect all parallel ports and probe them for scanner
32
33              /dev/parport0
34                     uses  linux  ppdev  device,  depending  on  the number of
35                     available parallel port, you have to  use  /dev/parport1,
36                     /dev/parport2, ...
37
38       You can rename any device using the
39
40              option name my_name
41
42       option. This option apply to the last port option.

CONFIGURATION

46       Please  make  sure  to  edit dll.conf before you use the backend, since
47       this backend isn't enabled by default.
48

FILES

50       /etc/sane.d/p5.conf
51              The  backend  configuration  file  (see  also   description   of
52              SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).
53
54       /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-p5.a
55              The static library implementing this backend.
56
57       /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-p5.so
58              The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
59              that support dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT

63       SANE_CONFIG_DIR
64              This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
65              may contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories
66              are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they  are  separated
67              by a semi-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the config‐
68              uration file is searched in two default directories: first,  the
69              current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d.  If the
70              value of the environment variable ends with the directory  sepa‐
71              rator character, then the default directories are searched after
72              the explicitly  specified  directories.   For  example,  setting
73              SANE_CONFIG_DIR  to  "/tmp/config:"  would result in directories
74              tmp/config, ., and /etc/sane.d being searched (in this order).
75
76       SANE_DEBUG_P5
77              If the library was compiled with  debug  support  enabled,  this
78              environment  variable controls the debug level for this backend.
79              E.g., a value of 255 requests all debug output  to  be  printed.
80              Smaller levels reduce verbosity.

83              level   debug output
84              ------- ------------------------------
85               0       critical errors
86               1       errors
87               2       warnings & minor errors
88               4       information messages
89               8       start/stop of functions
90               16      tracing messages
91               32      I/O functions
92               64      I/O functions with traces

BUG REPORTS

110       If something doesn't work  mail  sane-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net  or
111       submit an issue via https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/issues/new
112       with a label of backend/p5.  Please give as  much  information  as  you
113       can.
114
115
116       SANE version
117              run "scanimage -V" to determine this
118
119       the backend version and your scanner hardware
120              run  SANE_DEBUG_P5=255  scanimage -L 2>log as root. If you don't
121              get any output from the p5 backend, make sure  a  line  "p5"  is
122              included  into your /etc/sane.d/dll.conf.  If your scanner isn't
123              detected, make sure you've defined the right  port  address,  or
124              the correct device in your p5.conf.
125
126       the name of your scanner/vendor
127              also a worthy information. Please also include the optical reso‐
128              lution and lamp type of your scanner, both can be found  in  the
129              manual of your scanner.

131       any further comments
132              if you have comments about the documentation (what could be done
133              better), or you think I should know  something,  please  include
134              it.
