    sane-niash(5)            SANE Scanner Access Now Easy            sane-niash(5)

## NAME

           sane-niash - SANE backend for scanners based on the NIASH chipset.

## DESCRIPTION

           The sane-niash implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
           provides access to NIASH chipset based scanners. This backend will  try
           to support the following models:

           MANUFACTURER:    MODEL:          USB ID:
           ---------------  ----------------  ---------
           Agfa             Snapscan Touch    06BD-0100 (1)(a)
           Trust            Office Scan 19200 047B-1000 (1)(a)
           Hewlett-Packard  Scanjet 3300c     03F0-0205 (1)(a)(b)
           Hewlett-Packard  Scanjet 3400c     03F0-0405 (2)(b)
           Hewlett-Packard  Scanjet 4300c     03F0-0305 (2)(a)
           Silitek          ScanJet 4300c     047B-1002 (2)(b)

           ASIC: (1) - NIASH00012/00013/00014 / (2) - NIASH00019
           ANALOG FRONT-END: (a) - ESIC ES8100QA / (b) - WM8143-12

## CONFIGURATION

           The  niash.conf  file is meant for future configuration options.  Empty
           lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. Currently no
           configuration options exist.

## FILES

           /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-niash.a
                  The static library implementing this backend.

           /usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-niash.so
                  The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
                  that support dynamic loading).

## CAVEATS

           If you use a
           Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 3400c or
           Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 4300c
           together with Linux kernel 2.6, kernel version 2.6.8 or newer is neces‐
           sary.

## ENVIRONMENT

           SANE_DEBUG_NIASH
                  If  the  library  was  compiled with debug support enabled, this
                  environment variable controls the debug level for this  backend.
                  Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.

                  Example: export SANE_DEBUG_NIASH=255
