<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. The access of the scanner is ei-
|
|
ther done directly by the backend or via kernel module, called pt_drv
|
|
which can be created out of the plustek_pp backend code - see also sec-
|
|
tion <B>BUILDING</B> <B>THE</B> <B>KERNEL</B> <B>MODULE</B> for further information.

|
<H2>DEVICE NAMES</H2><PRE>
|
|
This backend works in two modes, the so called "direct-mode" and the
|
|
"kernel-mode". In direct-mode, the user-space backend is used, in ker-
|
|
nel-mode, you should have a kernel-module named pt_drv loaded. This
|
|
backends default device is:
|
|
|
|
<I>0x378</I>
|
|
|
|
This "default device" will be used, if no configuration file can be
|
|
found. It is rather the base address of the parallel port on i386 ma-
|
|
chines.
|
|
|
|
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 backends' 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>
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
<I>[kernel]</I>
|
|
<I>device</I> <I>/dev/pt</I><B>_</B><I>drv</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. <I>kernel</I> should only
|
|
be used, when a kernel-module has been built out of the backend
|
|
sources. See below for more instructions about this.
|
|
|
|
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 de-
|
|
tected) forces legal size (14")
|
|
|
|
<I>m</I> = 2 Primax 4800Direct override (works if OP600 has been de-
|

|
|

|
|

<I>m</I> = 4 OpticPro 9636P override (works if OP9636 has been de-

|
<H2>BUILDING THE KERNEL MODULE</H2><PRE>
|
|
As mentioned before, the plustek_pp backend code can also be compiled
|
|
and installed as linux kernel module. To do so, you will need the
|
|
source-files of this sane-backend installation. Unpack this tar-ball
|
|
and go to the directory:
|
|
<I>sane-backends/doc/plustek</I>
|
|
Within this directory, you should find a script called:
|
|
<I>MakeModule.sh</I>
|
|
Now if your Linux kernelsources are installed correctly, it should be
|
|
possible to build, install and load the module <B>pt_drv.</B> <B>Please</B> <B>note,</B>
|
|
that the kernelsources need to be configured correctly. Refer to your
|
|
distributions manual on how this is done. As root user, try
|
|
<I>./MakeModule.sh</I>
|
|
the script will try and get all necessary information about your run-
|
|
ning kernel and will lead you through the whole installation process.
|
|
<B>Note:</B> <B>Installing</B> <B>and</B> <B>loading</B> <B>the</B> <B>can</B> <B>only</B> <B>be</B> <B>done</B> <B>as</B> superuser.

|
|
<H2>KERNEL MODULE SETUP</H2><PRE>
|
|
The configuration of the kernel module is done by providing some or
|
|
more options found below to the kernel module at load time. This can be
|
|
done by invoking insmod with the appropriate parameters or appending
|
|
the options to the file <B>/etc/modules.conf</B> <B>(kernel</B> <B><</B> <B>2.6.x)</B> or <B>/etc/mod-</B>
|
|
<B>probe.conf</B> <B>(kernel</B> <B>>=</B> <B>2.6.x)</B>
|
|
|
|
<B>The</B> <B>Options:</B>
|
|
lampoff=lll
|
|
The value <I>lll</I> tells the driver, after how many seconds to
|
|
switch-off the lamp(s). The default value is 180. 0 will dis-
|
|
able this feature.
|
|
<B>HINT:</B> Do not use a value that is too small, because often
|
|
switching on/off the lamps will reduce their lifetime.
|
|
|
|
port=ppp
|
|
<I>ppp</I> specifies the port base address, where the scanner is con-
|
|
nected to. The default value is 0x378, which is normally a stan-
|
|
dard.
|
|
|
|
warmup=www
|
|
<I>www</I> specifies the time in seconds, how long a lamp has to be on,
|
|
until the driver will start to scan. The default value is 30.
|
|
|
|
lOffonEnd=e
|
|
<I>e</I> specifies the behaviour when unloading the driver, 1 -->
|
|
switch lamps off, 0 --> do not change lamp status
|
|
|
|
slowIO=s
|
|
<I>s</I> specifies which I/O functions the driver should use, 1 --> use
|
|
delayed functions, 0 --> use the non-delayed ones
|
|
|
|
forceMode=fm
|
|
<I>fm</I> specifies port mode which should be used, 0 --> autodetec-
|
|
tion, 1 --> use SPP mode and 2 --> use EPP mode
|
|
|
|
mov=m
|
|

|
|
<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 plustek_pp.conf 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. 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/lo-
|
|
cal/etc/sane.d. If the value of the environment variable ends
|
|
with the directory separator character, then the default direc-
|
|
tories are searched after the explicitly specified directories.
|
|
For example, setting <B>SANE_CONFIG_DIR</B> to "/tmp/config:" would re-
|
|
sult in directories "tmp/config", ".", and "/usr/lo-
|
|
cal/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).
|
|
|
|
<B>SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK_PP</B>
|
|
If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this en-
|
|
vironment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
|
|
Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.
|
|
|
|
Example: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK_PP=10

<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
