NAME

6       sane-canon_lide70  -  SANE backend for the Canon LiDE 70 and 600(F) USB
7       flatbed scanners
8

DESCRIPTION

10       The canon_lide70 library implements a SANE (Scanner  Access  Now  Easy)
11       backend  that  provides  access  to the Canon Inc. CanoScan LiDE 70 and
12       600(F) flatbed scanners. The film unit of the LiDE  600F  is  not  sup‐
13       ported.
14
15       Due  to  Canon's  unwillingness  to provide scanner documentation, this
16       software was developed by analyzing the USB traffic of the  Windows  XP
17       driver. The precise meaning of the individual commands that are sent to
18       the scanner is known only to a very limited extent. Some sophistication
19       present in the Windows XP driver has been left out. There is, for exam‐
20       ple, no active calibration.

CONFIGURATION

26       The  /etc/sane.d/canon_lide70.conf  file  identifies the LiDE 70 by its
27       vendor code 0x04a9 and its product code 0x2225. For the LiDE 600(f) the
28       product code is 0x2224.

BACKEND SPECIFIC OPTIONS

32       Scan Mode:
33
34
35       --resolution 75|150|300|600|1200 [default 600]
36              Sets the resolution of the scanned image in dots per inch. Scan‐
37              ning at 1200 dpi is not available on the LiDE 600(F) and  it  is
38              very slow on the LiDE 70.
39
40
41       --mode Color|Gray|Lineart [default: Color]
42              Selects the scan mode. Lineart means fully black and fully white
43              pixels only.
44
45
46       --threshold 0..100 (in steps of 1) [default 75]
47              Select minimum-brightness percentage to get a white point, rele‐
48              vant only for Lineart
49
50
51       --non-blocking[=(yes|no)] [inactive]
52              This  option has not yet been implemented. Scans are captured in
53              a temporary file with a typical size of 100MB.
54
55
56       Geometry:
57
58       -l 0..216.069 [default 0]
59              Top-left x position of scan area in millimeters.
60
61       -t 0..297 [default 0]
62              Top-left y position of scan area in millimeters.
63
64       -x 0..216.069 [default 80]
65              Width of scan-area in millimeters.
66
67       -y 0..297 [default 100]
68              Height of scan-area in millimeters.

FILES

72       /etc/sane.d/canon_lide70.conf
73              The backend configuration file
74
75       /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-canon_lide70.a
76              The static library implementing this backend.
77
78       /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-canon_lide70.so
79              The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
80              that support dynamic loading).
81

ENVIRONMENT

83       SANE_DEBUG_CANON_LIDE70
84              If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this en‐
85              vironment variable controls the debug level  for  this  backend.
86              Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.
87
88              Example:
89              SANE_DEBUG_CANON_LIDE70=128 scanimage > /dev/null

KNOWN PROBLEMS

92       At  low  resolutions  (75 and 150 dpi, implying high slider speeds) the
93       LiDE 70 misses the top one millimeter of the scan  area.  This  can  be
94       remedied  by  shifting  the  document one millimeter downward, in cases
95       where such precision matters. Note that xsane(1) uses the 75  dpi  mode
96       for prescans. The problem is worse on the LiDE 600(F), where the offset
97       is five millimeters.
