< H2 > DESCRIPTION< / H2 > < PRE >
The < B > sane-pixma< / B > library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
backend that provides access to Canon PIXMA multi-function devices
2009-05-03 21:14:31 +00:00
(All-in-one printers). The backend implements both USB interface and
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
Network LAN interface using Canon's BJNP protocol. Currently, the fol‐
2009-05-03 21:14:31 +00:00
lowing models work with this backend:

The following models are not well tested and/or the scanner sometimes
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
hangs and must be switched off and on.

The following models may use the same Pixma protocol as those listed
above, but have not yet been reported to work (or not). They are
declared in the backend so that they get recognized and activated.
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
Feedback in the sane-devel mailing list welcome.

The following models may use partly the same Pixma protocol as other
devices listed above, but may still need some work. They are declared
in the backend as experimental. Snoop logs are required to further
investigate, please contact the sane-devel mailing list.
PIXMA E500, E600
PIXMA MX370, MX430, MX510, MX710, MX890

The backend supports:
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
* resolutions of 75, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, and 9600
DPI (some maybe buggy),
* color and grayscale mode, as well as lineart on certain mod‐
els,
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
* a custom gamma table,
* Automatic Document Feeder, Simplex and Duplex.
* Transparency Unit, 24 or 48 bits depth.
The device name for USB devices is in the form pixma:xxxxyyyy_zzzzz
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
where x, y and z are vendor ID, product ID and serial number respec‐
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
tively. Example: pixma:04A91709_123456 is a MP150.
Device names for BJNP devices is in the form pixma:aaaa_bbbbb where
aaaa is the scanners model and bbbb is the hostname or ip-adress.
This backend, based on cloning original Canon drivers protocols, is in
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
a production stage. Designed has been carried out without any applica‐
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
ble manufacturer documentation, probably never available. However, we
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
have tested it as well as we could, but it may not work in every situa‐
2009-05-03 21:14:31 +00:00
tions. You will find an up-to-date status at the project homepage. (See
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
below). Users feedback is essential to help improve features and per‐
formances.

Besides "well-known" options (e.g. resolution, mode etc.) pixma backend
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
also provides the following options for button handling, i.e. the
2009-05-03 21:14:31 +00:00
options might change in the future.
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
Button scan is disabled on MAC OS X due to darwin libusb not handling
2009-05-03 21:14:31 +00:00
timeouts in usb interrupt reads.

2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
This option can be used in combination with < B > < A HREF = "scanadf.1.html" > scanadf(1)< / A > < / B > and < B > scan< / B > <EFBFBD> <EFBFBD> < B > <EFBFBD> < / B > <EFBFBD> <EFBFBD>
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
< B > < A HREF = "image.1.html" > image(1)< / A > < / B > in batch mode, for example when you want to scan many
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
photos or multiple-page documents. If it is enabled (i.e. is set
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
to true or yes), the backend waits before every scan until the
user presses the "SCAN" button (for MP150) or the color-scan
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
button (for other models). Just put the first page in the scan‐
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
ner, press the button, then the next page, press the button and
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
so on. When you finished, press the gray-scan button. (For MP150
you have to stop the frontend by pressing Ctrl-C for example.)
< I > button-update< / I > < I > button-1< / I > < I > button-2< / I >
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
These options are interesting for developers. To check button
status: (1) set < I > button-1< / I > and < I > button-2< / I > to zero, (2) set < I > button-< / I >
< I > update< / I > (Its type is SANE_TYPE_BUTTON.), (3) get < I > button-1< / I > and
< I > button-2< / I > . If the result is not zero, the corresponding button
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
was pressed.

The backend configuration file (see also description of

scanners. Normally only scanners that can not be auto-detected
because they are on a different subnet shall be listed here. If
your OS does not allow enumeration of interfaces (i.e. it does
not support the getifaddrs() function) you may need to add your
scanner here as well. Scanners shall be listed as:
< I > bjnp://< host> < / I >
where host is the hostname or IP address of the scanner, e.g.
bjnp://10.0.1.4 or bjnp://myscanner.mydomain.org. Define each
scanner on a new line.
< / PRE >
< H2 > USB SUPPORT< / H2 > < PRE >
USB scanners will be auto-detected and require no configuration.
< / PRE >
< H2 > NETWORKING SUPPORT< / H2 > < PRE >
The pixma backend supports network scanners using the so called Canon
BJNP protocol. Configuration is normally not required. The pixma
backend will auto-detect your scanner if it is within the same subnet
as your computer if your OS does support this.
If your scanner can not be auto-detected, you can add it to the pixma
configuration file (see above).
< / PRE >
< H2 > FIREWALLING FOR NETWORKED SCANNERS< / H2 > < PRE >
The sane pixma backend communicates with port 8612 on the scanner. So
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
you will have to allow outgoing traffic TO port 8612 on the common sub‐
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
net for scanning.
Scanner detection is slightly more complicated. The pixma backend sends
a broadcast on all direct connected subnets it can find (provided your
OS allows for enumeration of all interfaces). The broadcast is sent
FROM port 8612 TO port 8612 on the broadcast address of each interface.
The outgoing packets will be allowed by the rule described above.
Responses from the scanner are sent back to the computer TO port 8612.
Connection tracking however does not see a match as the response does
not come from the broadcast address but from the scanners own address.
You will therefore have to allow incoming packets TO port 8612 on your
computer.
So in short: open the firewall for all traffic from your computer to
port 8612 AND to port 8612 to your computer.
With the firewall rules above there is no need to add the scanner to
the pixma.conf file, unless the scanner is on a network that is not
directly connected to your computer.

< B > SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA< / B >
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
2008-02-14 01:57:19 +00:00
Higher value increases the verbosity.
0 print nothing (default)
1 print error and warning messages (recommended)
2 print informational messages
3 print debug-level messages
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00

< B > PIXMA_EXPERIMENT< / B >
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
Setting to a non-zero value will enable the support for experi‐
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
mental models. You should also set SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA to 11.
< B > SANE_CONFIG_DIR< / B >
This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
may contain the configuration file. Under UNIX, the directories
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated
by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the config‐
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
uration file is searched in two default directories: first, the
current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d. If the
2012-08-27 01:52:45 +00:00
value of the environment variable ends with the directory sepa‐
2010-04-26 02:18:46 +00:00
rator character, then the default directories are searched after
the explicitly specified directories. For example, setting
< B > SANE_CONFIG_DIR< / B > to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories
"tmp/config", ".", and "/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this
order).

We would like to thank all testers and helpers. Without them we could
not be able to write subdrivers for models we don't have. See also the
