6 sane-plustek - SANE backend for LM983[1/2/3] based USB flatbed scanners
7
9 The sane-plustek library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
10 backend that provides access to USB flatbed scanners based on National
11 Semiconductor Merlin chipsets (LM9831, 9832 and 9833). If you're look‐
12 ing for parallel-port support for Plustek scanner please refer to the
13 sane-plustek_pp(5) backend.
14
17 The Backend is able to support USB scanner based on the National Semi‐
18 conductor chipsets LM9831, LM9832 and LM9833. The following tables show
19 various devices which are currently reported to work. If your Plustek
20 scanner has another Product ID, then the device is NOT supported by
21 this backend.

117 For parallelport device support see the sane-plustek_pp(5) backend.
118 The SCSI scanner OpticPro 19200S is a rebadged Artec AM12S scanner and
119 is supported by the sane-artec(5) backend.
120 Only the National Semiconductor LM983[1/2/] based devices of Plustek
121 are supported by this backend. Older versions of the U12, the UT12, the
122 U1212 and U1248 (GrandTech chipset) are not supported.

138 To use your scanner with this backend, you need at least two entries in
139 the configuration file /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
140 [usb] vendor-id product-id
142 device /dev/usbscanner
143 [usb] tells the backend, that the following devicename (here /dev/usb‐
145 scanner) has to be interpreted as USB scanner device. If vendor- and
146 product-id has not been specified, the backend tries to detect this by
147 its own. If device is set to auto then the next matching device is
148 used.
149 The following options can be used for a default setup of your device.
150 Most of them are also available through the frontend.
151 The Options:
153 option warmup t
155 t specifies the warmup period in seconds, if set to -1, the au‐
156 tomatic warmup function will be used
157 option lampOff t
159 t is the time in seconds for switching off the lamps in standby
160 mode
161 option lOffonEnd b
163 b specifies the behaviour when closing the backend, 1 --> switch
164 lamps off, 0 --> do not change lamp status
165 option mov m
167 m is the model override switch. It works only with Mustek
168 BearPaw devices.
169 m/PID | 0x1000 | 0x1001
170 ------+--------------+--------------
171 0 | BearPaw 1200 | BearPaw 2400
172 1 | no function | BearPaw 1200
173 option invertNegatives b
175 b 0 --> do not invert the picture during negative scans,
176 1 --> invert picture
177 option cacheCalData b
179 b 0 --> do not save calibration results,
180 1 --> save results of calibration in ~/.sane/ directory
181 option altCalibration b
183 b 0 --> use standard calibration routines,
184 1 --> use alternate calibration (only non Plustek devices, stan‐
185 dard for CIS devices)
186 option skipFine b
188 b 0 --> perform fine calibration,
189 1 --> skip fine calibration (only non Plustek devices)
190 option skipFineWhite b
192 b 0 --> perform white fine calibration,
193 1 --> skip white fine calibration (only non Plustek devices)
194 option skipDarkStrip b
196 b 0 --> perform dark calibration, with enabled lamp using the
197 dark calibration strip of the scanner. If the scanner does not
198 have such a strip, the alternative way is to switch off the lamp
199 during this step.
200 1 --> always switch off the lamp for dark calibration, even a
201 black strip is available
202 option skipCalibration b
204 b 0 --> perform calibration,
205 1 --> skip calibration (only non Plustek devices)
206 option enableTPA b
208 b 0 --> default behaviour, specified by the internal tables,
209 1 --> override internal tables and allow TPA mode (EPSON/UMAX
210 only)
211 option posOffX x
214 option posOffY y
215 option tpaOffX x
216 option tpaOffY y
217 option negOffX x
218 option negOffY y
219 x y By using this settings, the user can adjust the given image
220 positions. Please note, that there's no internal range checking
221 for this feature.
222 option posShadingY p
224 option tpaShadingY p
225 option negShadingY p
226 p overrides the internal shading position. The values are in
227 steps. Please note, that there's no internal range checking for
228 this feature.
229 option redGamma r
231 option greenGamma g
232 option blueGamma b
233 option grayGamma gr
234 r g b gr
235 By using these values, the internal linear gamma table (r,g,b,gr = 1.0)
236 can be adjusted.
237 option red_gain r
239 option red_offset ro
240 option green_gain g
241 option green_offset go
242 option blue_gain b
243 option blue_offset bo
244 r g b ro go bo These values can be used to set the gain and off‐
245 set values of the AFE for each channel. The range is between 0
246 and 63. -1 means autocalibration.
247 See the plustek.conf file for examples.
250 Note:
252 You have to make sure, that the USB subsystem is loaded correctly and
253 you have access to the device-node. For more details see sane-usb(5)
254 manpage. You might use sane-find-scanner(1) to check that you have ac‐
255 cess to your device.
256 Note:
258 If there's no configuration file, the backend defaults to device auto
259
262 /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
263 The backend configuration file
264 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-plustek.a
266 The static library implementing this backend.
267 /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-plustek.so
269 The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
270 that support dynamic loading).
271
274 SANE_CONFIG_DIR
275 This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
276 may contain the configuration file. On *NIX systems, the direc‐
277 tories are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are sep‐
278 arated by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the
279 configuration file is searched in two default directories:
280 first, the current working directory (".") and then in
281 /etc/sane.d. If the value of the environment variable ends with
282 the directory separator character, then the default directories
283 are searched after the explicitly specified directories. For
284 example, setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result
285 in directories tmp/config, ., and /etc/sane.d being searched (in
286 this order).
287 SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK
289 If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this en‐
290 vironment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
291 Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.
292 Example: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=10
294
297 sane(7), sane-usb(5), sane-u12(5), sane-gt68xx(5), sane-stek_pp(5),
298 sane-find-scanner(1), scanimage(1)

303 Please send any information and bug-reports to:
304 SANE Mailing List
305 Additional info and hints can be obtained from our
307 Mailing-List archive at:
308 http://www.sane-project.org/mailing-lists.html
309 To obtain debug messages from the backend, please set the environment-
311 variable SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK before calling your favorite scan-frontend
312 (i.e. scanimage(1)),i.e.:
313 export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=20 ; scanimage
315 The value controls the verbosity of the backend. Please note, that val‐
317 ues greater than 24 force the backend to output raw data files, which
318 could be rather large. The ending of these files is ".raw". For prob‐
319 lem reports it should be enough the set the verbosity to 13.
320
323 * The driver does not support these manic scalings up to 16 times the
324 physical resolution. The only scaling is done on resolutions between
325 the physical resolution of the CCD-/CIS-sensor and the stepper motor
326 i.e. you have a 600x1200 dpi scanner and you are scanning using 800dpi,
327 so scaling is necessary, because the sensor only delivers 600dpi but
328 the motor is capable to perform 1200dpi steps.
329 * Plusteks' model policy is somewhat inconsistent. They sell techni‐
331 cally different devices under the same product name. Therefore it is
332 possible that some devices like the UT12 or U12 won't work - please
333 check the model list above and compare the product-id to the one your
334 device has.
335 * Negative/Slide scanning quality is poor.
