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 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.

105 The SCSI scanner OpticPro 19200S is a rebadged Artec AM12S scanner and
106 is supported by the Artec backend.
107 Only the National Semiconductor LM983[1/2/] based devices of Plustek
108 are supported by this backend. Older versions of the U12, the UT12, the
109 U1212 and U1248 (GrandTech chipset) are not supported.

125 To use your scanner with this backend, you need at least two entries in
126 the configuration file /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
127 [usb] vendor-id product-id
128 device /dev/usbscanner
129 [usb] tells the backend, that the following devicename (here /dev/usb‐
131 scanner) has to be interpreted as USB scanner device. If vendor- and
132 product-id has not been specified, the backend tries to detect this by
133 its own. If device is set to auto then the next matching device is
134 used.
135 The following options can be used for a default setup of your device.
136 Most of them are also available through the frontend.
137 The Options:
139 option warmup t
141 t specifies the warmup period in seconds, if set to -1, the
142 automatic warmup function will be used
143 option lampOff t
145 t is the time in seconds for switching off the lamps in standby
146 mode
147 option lOffonEnd b
149 b specifies the behaviour when closing the backend, 1 --> switch
150 lamps off, 0 --> do not change lamp status
151 option mov m
153 m is the model override switch. It works only with Mustek
154 BearPaw devices.
155 m/PID | 0x1000 | 0x1001
156 ------+--------------+--------------
157 0 | BearPaw 1200 | BearPaw 2400
158 1 | no function | BearPaw 1200
159 option invertNegatives b
161 b 0 --> do not invert the picture during negativ scans, 1 -->
162 invert picture
163 option cacheCalData b
165 b 0 --> do not save calibration results, 1 --> save results of
166 calibration in ~/.sane/ directory
167 option altCalibration b
169 b 0 --> use standard calibration routines, 1 --> use alternate
170 calibration (only non Plustek devices, standard for CIS devices)
171 option skipFine b
173 b 0 --> perform fine calibration, 1 --> skip fine calibration
174 (only non Plustek devices)
175 option skipFineWhite b
177 b 0 --> perform white fine calibration, 1 --> skip white fine
178 calibration (only non Plustek devices)
179 option skipCalibration b
181 b 0 --> perform calibration, 1 --> skip calibration (only non
182 Plustek devices)
183 option enableTPA b
185 b 0 --> default behaviour, specified by the internal tables, 1
186 --> override internal tables and allow TPA mode (EPSON/UMAX
187 only)
188 option posOffX x
191 option posOffY y
192 option tpaOffX x
193 option tpaOffY y
194 option negOffX x
195 option negOffY y
196 x y By using this settings, the user can adjust the given image
197 positions. Please note, that there's no internal range checking
198 for this feature.
199 option posShadingY p
201 option tpaShadingY p
202 option negShadingY p
203 p overrides the internal shading position. The values are in
204 steps. Please note, that there's no internal range checking for
205 this feature.
206 option redGamma r
208 option greenGamma g
209 option blueGamma b
210 option grayGamma gr
211 r g b gr
212 By using these values, the internal linear gamma table (r,g,b,gr = 1.0)
213 can be adjusted.
214 option red_gain r
216 option red_offset ro
217 option green_gain g
218 option green_offset go
219 option blue_gain b
220 option blue_offset bo
221 r g b ro go bo These values can be used to set the gain and off‐
222 set values of the AFE for each channel. The range is between 0
223 and 63. -1 means autocalibration.
224 See the plustek.conf file for examples.
227 Note:
229 You have to make sure, that the USB subsystem is loaded correctly and
230 you have access to the device-node. For more details see sane-usb (5)
231 manpage. You might use sane-find-scanner to check that you have access
232 to your device.
233 Note:
235 If there's no configuration file, the backend defaults to device auto
236
239 /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
240 The backend configuration file
241 /usr/lib*/sane/libsane-plustek.a
243 The static library implementing this backend.
244 /usr/lib*/sane/libsane-plustek.so
246 The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
247 that support dynamic loading).
248
251 SANE_CONFIG_DIR
252 This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
253 may contain the configuration file. Under UNIX, the directories
254 are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated
255 by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the config‐
256 uration file is searched in two default directories: first, the
257 current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d. If the
258 value of the environment variable ends with the directory sepa‐
259 rator character, then the default directories are searched after
260 the explicitly specified directories. For example, setting
261 SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories
262 "tmp/config", ".", and "/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this
263 order).
264 SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK
266 If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
267 environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
268 Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.
269 Example: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=10

280 Please send any information and bug-reports to:
281 SANE Mailing List
282 Additional info and hints can be obtained from our
284 Mailing-List archive at:

286 or directly from the projects' homepage at:
288 http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek/
289 To obtain debug messages from the backend, please set the environment-
291 variable SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK before calling your favorite scan-frontend
292 (i.e. xscanimage).
293 i.e.: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=20 ; xscanimage
294 The value controls the verbosity of the backend. Please note, that val‐
296 ues greater than 24 force the backend to output raw data files, which
297 could be rather large. The ending of these files is ".raw". For prob‐
298 lem reports it should be enough the set the verbosity to 13.
299
302 * The driver does not support these manic scalings up to 16 times the
303 physical resolution. The only scaling is done on resolutions between
304 the physical resolution of the CCD-/CIS-sensor and the stepper motor
305 i.e. you have a 600x1200 dpi scanner and you are scanning using 800dpi,
306 so scaling is necessary, because the sensor only delivers 600dpi but
307 the motor is capable to perform 1200dpi steps.
308 * Plusteks' model policy is somewhat inconsistent. They sell techni‐
310 cally different devices under the same product name. Therefore it is
311 possible that some devices like the UT12 or U12 won't work - please
312 check the model list above and compare the product-id to the one your
313 device has.
314 * Negative/Slide scanning quality is poor.
