## NAME

           sane-nec - SANE backend for NEC scanners

## DESCRIPTION

           The  sane-nec library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) back‐
           end that provides access to NEC SCSI scanners.  This backend should  be
           considered alpha-quality software!  In the current state it is known to
           work with PC-IN500/4C scanners. Another MultiReader scanner  series  is
           not  supported.  PC-IN  500/4C and MultiReader scanner are only sold in
           Japan.(except Multi Reader PetiScan.)

           For other scanners, it may or may not work.

           The backend has the following known problems:
                  - ColorLineart mode is not supported.
                  - device name is fixed to /dev/scanner

           At present, the following scanners are known to work with this backend.
                  Vendor Product id
                  ------ -----------
                  NEC    PC-IN500/4C

## FILES

           /usr/local/etc/sane.d/nec.conf
                  The backend configuration file.

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

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

## ENVIRONMENT

           SANE_DEBUG_NEC
                  If  the  library  was  compiled with debug support enabled, this
                  environment variable controls the debug level for this  backend.
                  E.g.,  a  value  of 128 requests all debug output to be printed.
                  Smaller levels reduce verbosity.
