<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
sane-gt68xx - SANE backend for GT-68XX based USB flatbed scanners
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The <B>sane-gt68xx</B> library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
backend that provides access to USB flatbed scanners based on the
Grandtech GT-6801 and GT-6816 chips. A list of supported scanners can
be found on the gt68xx backend homepage:
<I>http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/</I>.
This is BETA software. Especially if you test new or untested scanners,
keep your hand at the scanner's plug and unplug it, if the head bumps
at the end of the scan area.
If you own a scanner other than the ones listed on the gt68xx homepage
that works with this backend, please let me know this by sending the
scanner's exact model name and the USB vendor and device ids (e.g. from
<I>sane-find-scanner</I> or syslog) to me. Even if the scanner's name is only
slightly different from the models already listed as supported, please
let me know.
If you own a scanner that isn't detected by the gt68xx backend but has
a GT-6801 or GT-6816 chipset, you can try to add it to the backend.
Have a look at the following web page:
<I>http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/adding.html</I>
</PRE>
<H2>LIBUSB ISSUES</H2><PRE>
Please use libusb-0.1.8 or later. Without libusb or with older libusb
versions all kinds of trouble can be expected. The scanner should be
found by sane-find-scanner without further actions. For setting permis
sions and general USB information looks at <B><A HREF="sane-usb.5.html">sane-usb(5)</A></B>.
</PRE>
<H2>FIRMWARE FILE</H2><PRE>
You need a firmware file for your scanner. That's a small file contain
ing software that will be uploaded to the scanner's memory. It's usu
ally named *.usb, e.g. <I>PS1fw.usb</I>. It comes on the installation CD
that was provided by the manufacturer, but it may be packaged together
with the installation program in an .exe file. For Mustek scanners, the
file can be downloaded from the gt68xx backend homepage. For other
scanners, check the CD for .usb files. If you only find *.cab files,
try cabextract to unpack. If everything else fails, you must install
the Windows driver and get the firmware from there (usually in the <I>win<EFBFBD></I><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>
<I>dows/system</I> or <I>system32</I> directories). Put that firmware file into
<I>/usr/local/share/sane/gt68xx/</I>. Make sure that it's readable by every
one.
</PRE>
<H2>CONFIGURATION</H2><PRE>
The contents of the <I>gt68xx.conf</I> file is a list of usb lines containing
vendor and product ids that correspond to USB scanners. The file can
also contain option lines. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash
mark (#) are ignored. The scanners are autodetected by <B>usb</B> <B>vendor_id</B>
<B>product_id</B> statements which are already included into <I>gt68xx.conf</I>.
"vendor_id" and "product_id" are hexadecimal numbers that identify the
scanner.
The <B>override</B>, <B>firmware</B>, <B>vendor</B>, <B>model</B>, and <B>afe</B> options must be placed
after the <B>usb</B> line they refer to.
Option <B>override</B> is used to override the default model parameters.
That's necessary for some scanners that use the same vendor/product ids
but are different. For these scanners there are already commented out
override lines in the configuration file. <B>override</B> <B>mustek-scanex</B><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><B><EFBFBD></B><EFBFBD><EFBFBD>
<B>press-1200-ub-plus</B> is necessary for the Mustek Scanexpress 1200 UB
Plus, the Medion/Lifetec/Tevion LT 9452, and the Trust Compact Scan USB
19200. <B>override</B> <B>artec-ultima-2000</B> is used for the Artec Ultima 2000,
the Boeder SmartScan Slim Edition, the Medion/ Lifetec/ Tevion/ Cytron
MD/LT 9385, the Medion/ Lifetec/ Tevion MD 9458, and the Trust Flat
Scan USB 19200. <B>override</B> <B>mustek-bearpaw-2400-cu</B> is necessary for the
Mustek BearPaw 2400 CU and the Fujitsu 1200CUS. The <B>override</B> option
must be the first one after the <B>usb</B> line.
Option <B>firmware</B> selects the name and path of the firmware file. It's
only necessary if the default (or override) doesn't work. The default
firmware directory is <I>/usr/local/share/sane/gt68xx/</I>. You may need to
create this directory. If you want to place the firmware files at a
different path, use a <B>firmware</B> line.
The <B>vendor</B> and <B>model</B> options are not absolutely necessary but for con
venience. Quite a lot of scanners from different manufacturers share
the same vendor/product ids so you can set the "correct" name here.
The <B>afe</B> option allows one to set custom offset and gain values for the
Analog FrontEnd of the scanner. This option can be either used to
select the AFE values if automatic coarse calibration is disabled, or
to make automatic coarse calibration faster. For the latter usage,
enable debug level 3 (see below), scan an image and look for debug line
string with "afe". Copy this line to <I>gt68xx.conf</I>. The option has six
parameters: red offset, red gain, green offset, green gain, blue off
set, and blue gain.
A sample configuration file is shown below:
usb 0x05d8 0x4002
override "mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus"
firmware "/opt/gt68xx/SBfw.usb"
vendor "Trust"
model "Compact Scan USB 19200"
afe 0x20 0x02 0x22 0x03 0x1f 0x04
</PRE>
<H2>FILES</H2><PRE>
<I>/usr/local/etc/sane.d/gt68xx.conf</I>
The backend configuration file (see also description of
<B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B> below).
<I>/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-gt68xx.a</I>
The static library implementing this backend.
<I>/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-gt68xx.so</I>
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
that support dynamic loading).
</PRE>
<H2>ENVIRONMENT</H2><PRE>
<B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B>
This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
may contain the configuration file. Under UNIX, the directories
are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated
by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the config
uration file is searched in two default directories: first, the
current working directory (".") and then in
/usr/local/etc/sane.d. 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 "tmp/config", ".", and
"/usr/local/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).
<B>SANE_DEBUG_GT68XX</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. If the
debug level is set to 1 or higher, some debug options become
available that are normally hidden. Handle them with care.
Example: export SANE_DEBUG_GT68XX=4

<H2>AUTHOR</H2><PRE>
Henning Meier-Geinitz &lt;henning@meier-geinitz.de&gt;
The original gt68xx driver was written by Sergey Vlasov, Andreas
Nowack, and David Stevenson. Thanks for sending patches and answering
questions to them and all the other contributors.
</PRE>
<H2>BUGS</H2><PRE>
The first few lines of the image are garbage for the 2400 TA Plus.
Interpolation should be used instead of just copying data, when the X-
and Y-resolution differ.
Support for buttons is missing.
More detailed bug information is available at the gt68xx backend home
page <I>http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/</I>. Please contact
us if you find a bug or missing feature:
&lt;sane-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net&gt;. Please send a debug log if your
scanner isn't detected correctly (see SANE_DEBUG_GT68XX above).
