<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
|
|
The <B>sane-plustek_pp</B> library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
|
|
backend that provides access to Plustek ASIC 9600[1/3] and P9800[1/3]
|
|
based parallel port flatbed scanners.
|

<H2>DEVICE NAMES</H2><PRE>
|
|
This backend's default device is:
|
|
|
|
<I>0x378</I>
|
|
|
|
This "default device" will be used if no configuration file can be
|
|
found. It is the base address of the parallel port on i386 machines.
|
|
|
|
As the backend supports up to four devices, it is possible to specify
|
|
them in the configuration file
|
|
|
|
<I>/usr/local/etc/sane.d/plustek</I><B>_</B><I>pp.conf</I>
|
|
|
|
See this file for examples.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<H2>CONFIGURATION</H2><PRE>
|
|
This section describes the backend's configuration file entries. The
|
|
file is located at: <I>/usr/local/etc/sane.d/plustek</I><B>_</B><I>pp.conf</I>
|
|
|
|
For a proper setup, you will need at least two entries:
|
|
|
|
<I>[direct]</I>
|
|
<I>device</I> <I>0x378</I>
|
|
|
|
<I>direct</I> tells the backend, that the following devicename (here <I>0x378</I>)
|
|
has to be interpreted as parallel port scanner device. In fact it is
|
|
the address to use. Alternatively you can use <I>/dev/parport0</I> if the
|
|
backend has been compiled with libieee1284 support.
|
|
|
|
Further options:
|
|
|
|
option warmup t
|
|
<I>t</I> specifies the warmup period in seconds
|
|
|
|
option lampOff t
|
|
<I>t</I> is the time in seconds for switching off the lamps in standby
|
|
mode
|
|
|
|
option lOffonEnd b
|
|
<I>b</I> specifies the behaviour when closing the backend, 1 --> switch
|
|
lamps off, 0 --> do not change lamp status
|
|
|
|
option mov m
|
|
<I>m</I> is the model override switch, which only works in direct mode.
|
|
|
|
<I>m</I> = 0 default: no override
|
|
|
|
<I>m</I> = 1 OpticPro 9630PL override (works if OP9630 has been
|
|
detected) forces legal size (14")
|
|
|
|
<I>m</I> = 2 Primax 4800Direct override (works if OP600 has been
|
|
detected) swaps red/green color
|
|
|
|
<I>m</I> = 3 OpticPro 9636 override (works if OP9636 has been
|
|
detected) disables backends transparency/negative capa-
|
|
bilities
|
|
|
|
<I>m</I> = 4 OpticPro 9636P override (works if OP9636 has been
|
|
detected) disables backends transparency/negative capa-
|
|
bilities
|
|
|
|
<I>m</I> = 5 OpticPro A3I override (works if OP12000 has been
|
|
detected) enables A3 scanning
|
|
|
|
<I>m</I> = 6 OpticPro 4800P override (works if OP600 has been
|
|
detected) swaps red/green color
|
|
|
|
<I>m</I> = 7 Primax 4800Direct 30bit override (works if OP4830 has
|
|
been detected)

|
<H2>PARALLEL PORT MODES</H2><PRE>
|
|
The current driver works best, when the parallel port has been set to
|
|
EPP-mode. When detecting any other mode such as ECP or PS/2 the driver
|
|
tries to set to a faster, supported mode. If this fails, it will use
|
|
the SPP mode, as this mode should work with all Linux supported paral-
|
|
lel ports. If in doubt, enter your BIOS and set it to any mode except
|
|
ECP.
|
|
|
|
Former Plustek scanner models (4830, 9630) supplied a ISA parallel port
|
|
adapter card. This card is <B>not</B> supported by the driver.
|
|
|
|
The ASIC 96001/3 based models have sometimes trouble with high resolu-
|
|
tion modes. If you encounter sporadic corrupted images (parts dupli-
|
|
cated or shifted horizontally) kill all other applications before scan-
|
|
ning and (if sufficient memory available) disable swapping.
|
|
|
|
See the <I>plustek</I><B>_</B><I>pp.conf</I> file for examples.

|
|
<H2>ENVIRONMENT</H2><PRE>
|
|
<B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B>
|
|
This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
|
|
may contain the configuration file. On *NIX systems, the direc-
|
|
tories are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are sep-
|
|
arated by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the
|
|
configuration file is searched in two default directories:
|
|
first, the current working directory (".") and then in
|
|
<I>/usr/local/etc/sane.d</I>. If the value of the environment variable
|
|
ends with the directory separator character, then the default
|
|
directories are searched after the explicitly specified directo-
|
|
ries. For example, setting <B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B> to "/tmp/config:"
|
|
would result in directories <I>tmp/config</I>, <I>.</I>, and
|
|
<I>/usr/local/etc/sane.d</I> being searched (in this order).
|
|
|
|
<B>SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK_PP</B>
|
|
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_PLUSTEK_PP=10

To obtain debug messages from the backend, please set the environment-
|
|
variable <B>SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK_PP</B> before calling your favorite scan-fron-
|
|
tend (i.e. <B><A HREF="xscanimage.1.html">xscanimage(1)</A></B>),<B>i.e.:</B>

<H2>KNOWN BUGS & RESTRICTIONS</H2><PRE>
|
|
* The Halftoning works, but the quality is poor
|
|
|
|
* Printers (especially HP models) will start to print during scanning.
|
|
This in fact is a problem to other printers too, using bidirectional
|
|
protocol (see www.plustek.com (TAIWAN) page for further details)
|
|
|
|
* The driver does not support these manic scalings up to 16 times the
|
|
physical resolution. The only scaling is done on resolutions between
|
|
the physical resolution of the CCD-sensor and the stepper motor i.e.
|
|
you have a 600x1200 dpi scanner and you are scanning using 800dpi, so
|
|
scaling is necessary, because the sensor only delivers 600dpi but the
|
|
motor is capable to perform 800dpi steps.
|
|
|
|
* On some devices, the pictures seems bluish
|
|
|
|
<I>ASIC</I> <I>98001</I> <I>based</I> <I>models:</I>
|
|
|
|
* The 300dpi transparency and negative mode does not work correctly.
|
|
|
|
* There is currently no way to distinguish a model with and without
|
|
transparency unit.
|
|
|
|
* The scanned images seem to be too dark (P9636T)
|
|
|
|
<I>ASIC</I> <I>96003/1</I> <I>based</I> <I>models:</I>
|
|
|
|
* 30bit mode is currently not supported.
|
|
|
|
* On low end systems under heavy system load the driver may lose data,
|
|
which can result in picture corruption or cause the sensor to hit the
|
|
scan bed.
|
|
|
|
* The scanning speed on 600x1200 dpi models is slow.
|
|
|
|
* The scanning quality of the A3I is poor.
