6 sane-hp5400 - SANE backend for Hewlett-Packard 54XX scanners
7
9 The sane-hp5400 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
10 backend that provides access to the following Hewlett-Packard USB
11 flatbed scanners:
12 ScanJet 5400C
14 ScanJet 5470C
15 ScanJet 5490C
16 More details can be found on the hp5400 backend homepage
18 http://hp5400backend.sourceforge.net/.
19 This is ALPHA software. Keep your hand at the scanner's plug and unplug
21 it, if the head bumps at the end of the scan area. See also the BUGS
22 section.
23 If you own a scanner other than the ones listed above that works with
25 this backend, please let us know this by sending the scanner's exact
26 model name and the USB vendor and device ids (e.g. from
27 /proc/bus/usb/devices, sane-find-scanner(1) or syslog) to us. Even if
28 the scanner's name is only slightly different from the models mentioned
29 above, please let us know.

32 The contents of the hp5400.conf file is a list of usb lines containing
33 vendor and product ids that correspond to USB scanners. The file can
34 also contain the names of device files that correspond to an HP 54XX
35 scanner. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ig‐
36 nored. The scanners are autodetected by usb vendor_id product_id
37 statements which are already included into hp5400.conf. "vendor_id"
38 and "product_id" are hexadecimal numbers that identify the scanner. If
39 autodetection does not work, add the device name of your scanner to the
40 configuration file, e.g. /dev/usb/scanner0.
41
43 /etc/sane.d/hp5400.conf
44 The backend configuration file (see also description of
45 SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).
46 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-hp5400.a
48 The static library implementing this backend.
49 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-hp5400.so
51 The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
52 that support dynamic loading).
53
55 SANE_CONFIG_DIR
56 This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
57 may contain the configuration file. On *NIX systems, the direc‐
58 tories are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are sep‐
59 arated by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the
60 configuration file is searched in two default directories:
61 first, the current working directory (.) and then in
62 /etc/sane.d. If the value of the environment variable ends with
63 the directory separator character, then the default directories
64 are searched after the explicitly specified directories. For
65 example, setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result
66 in directories tmp/config, ., and /etc/sane.d being searched (in
67 this order).
68 SANE_DEBUG_HP5400
70 If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this en‐
71 vironment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
72 Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.
73 Example: export SANE_DEBUG_HP5400=4

89 Scanning is only tested with Linux/ix86/gcc. Be careful when testing on
90 other operating systems and especially on big-endian platforms. The
91 scanner may get wrong data.
