6 sane-p5 - SANE backend for the Primax PagePartner
7
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 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 en‐
15 larged to match the vertical resolution.
16 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
24 This backend expects device names of the form:
25 port value
27 Where value is :
29 auto autodetect all parallel ports and probe them for scanner
32 /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 You can rename any device using the
39 option name my_name
41 option. This option apply to the last port option.
43
46 Please make sure to edit dll.conf before you use the backend, since
47 this backend isn't enabled by default.
48
50 /etc/sane.d/p5.conf
51 The backend configuration file (see also description of
52 SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).
53 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-p5.a
55 The static library implementing this backend.
56 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-p5.so
58 The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
59 that support dynamic loading).
60
63 SANE_CONFIG_DIR
64 This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
65 may contain the configuration file. On *NIX systems, the direc‐
66 tories are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are sep‐
67 arated by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the
68 configuration file is searched in two default directories:
69 first, the current working directory (".") and then in
70 /etc/sane.d. If the value of the environment variable ends with
71 the directory separator character, then the default directories
72 are searched after the explicitly specified directories. For
73 example, setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result
74 in directories tmp/config, ., and /etc/sane.d being searched (in
75 this order).
76 SANE_DEBUG_P5
78 If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this en‐
79 vironment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
80 E.g., a value of 255 requests all debug output to be printed.
81 Smaller levels reduce verbosity.

106 Support for the Prima PagePartner has been made possible thank to an
107 hardware donation by Sébastien Lange.

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