6 sane-fujitsu - SANE backend for Fujitsu flatbed and ADF scanners
7
10 The sane-fujitsu library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
11 backend which provides access to most Fujitsu flatbed and ADF scanners.
12 This document describes backend version 137, which shipped with SANE
14 1.0.32.
15
18 This version supports every known model which speaks the Fujitsu SCSI
19 and SCSI-over-USB protocols. Specifically, the SCSI M309x and M409x se‐
20 ries, the SCSI fi-series, most of the USB fi-series, the USB ScanSnap
21 S5xx/S15xx, and the USB iX1xx/5xx series scanners are supported. Please
22 see the list at http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html
23 for details.
24 This backend may support other Fujitsu scanners. The best way to deter‐
26 mine level of support is to test the scanner directly, or to collect a
27 trace of the windows driver in action. Please contact the author for
28 help or with test results.
29
32 The following scanners are known NOT to work with this backend, either
33 because they have a non-fujitsu chipset, or an unsupported interface
34 type. Some of these scanners may be supported by another backend.

48 Effort has been made to expose all hardware options, including:
49 source s
51 Selects the source for the scan. Options may include "Flatbed",
52 "ADF Front", "ADF Back", "ADF Duplex", "Card Front", "Card
53 Back", "Card Duplex".
54 mode m
56 Selects the mode for the scan. Options may include "Lineart",
57 "Halftone", "Gray", and "Color".
58 resolution, y-resolution
60 Controls scan resolution. Setting --resolution also sets
61 --y-resolution, though this behavior is overridden by some
62 frontends.
63 tl-x, tl-y, br-x, br-y
65 Sets scan area upper left and lower right coordinates. These are
66 renamed t, l, x, y by some frontends.
67 page-width, page-height
69 Sets paper size. Used by scanner to determine centering of scan
70 coordinates when using the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) and
71 to detect double feed errors.
72 Other options will be available based on the capabilities of the scan‐
74 ner: machines with IPC or DTC will have additional enhancement options,
75 those with CMP will have compression options, those with a printer will
76 have a group of endorser options.
77 Additionally, several 'software' options are exposed by the backend.
79 These are reimplementations of features provided natively by larger
80 scanners, but running on the host computer. This enables smaller ma‐
81 chines to have similar capabilities. Please note that these features
82 are somewhat simplistic, and may not perform as well as the native im‐
83 plementations. Note also that these features all require that the
84 driver cache the entire image in memory. This will almost certainly re‐
85 sult in a reduction of scanning speed.
86 swcrop
88 Requests the driver to detect the extremities of the paper
89 within the larger image, and crop the empty edges.
90 swdeskew
92 Requests the driver to detect the rotation of the paper within
93 the larger image, and counter the rotation.
94 swdespeck X
96 Requests the driver to find and remove dots of X diameter or
97 smaller from the image, and fill the space with the average sur‐
98 rounding color.
99 Use 'scanimage --help' to get a list, but be aware that some options
101 may be settable only when another option has been set, and that ad‐
102 vanced options may be hidden by some frontend programs.
103
106 The configuration file fujitsu.conf is used to tell the backend how to
107 look for scanners, and provide options controlling the operation of the
108 backend. This file is read each time the frontend asks the backend for
109 a list of scanners, generally only when the frontend starts. If the
110 configuration file is missing, the backend will be unable to locate any
111 scanners.
112 Scanners can be specified in the configuration file in 4 ways:
114 "scsi FUJITSU"
116 Requests backend to search all scsi buses in the system for a
117 device which reports itself to be a scanner made by 'FUJITSU'.
118 "scsi /dev/sg0" (or other scsi device file)
120 Requests backend to open the named scsi device. Only useful if
121 you have multiple compatible scanners connected to your system,
122 and need to specify one. Probably should not be used with the
123 other "scsi" line above.
124 "usb 0x04c5 0x1042" (or other vendor/product ids)
126 Requests backend to search all usb buses in the system for a de‐
127 vice which uses that vendor and product id. The device will then
128 be queried to determine if it is a Fujitsu scanner.
129 "usb /dev/usb/scanner0" (or other device file)
131 Some systems use a kernel driver to access usb scanners. This
132 method is untested.
133 The only configuration option supported is "buffer-size=xxx", allowing
135 you to set the number of bytes in the data buffer to something other
136 than the compiled-in default, 65536 (64K). Some users report that their
137 scanner will "hang" mid-page, or fail to transmit the image if the buf‐
138 fer is not large enough.
139 Note: This option may appear multiple times in the configuration file.
141 It only applies to scanners discovered by 'scsi/usb' lines that follow
142 this option.
143 Note: The backend does not place an upper bound on this value, as some
145 users required it to be quite large. Values above the default are not
146 recommended, and may crash your OS or lockup your scsi card driver. You
147 have been warned.
148
150 The backend uses a single environment variable, SANE_DEBUG_FUJITSU,
151 which enables debugging output to stderr. Valid values are:
152 5 Errors
154 10 Function trace
155 15 Function detail
156 20 Option commands
157 25 SCSI/USB trace
158 30 SCSI/USB writes
159 31 SCSI/USB reads
160 35 Useless noise
161
164 Flatbed units may fail to scan at maximum area, particularly at high
165 resolution.
166 Any model that does not support VPD during inquiry will not function
168 until an override is added to the backend.
169 CCITT Fax compression used by older scanners is not supported.
171 JPEG output is supported by the backend, but not by the SANE protocol,
173 so is disabled in this release. It can be enabled if you rebuild from
174 source.
