NAME
sane-plustek - SANE backend for LM983[1/2/3] based USB
flatbed scannersDESCRIPTION
The sane-plustek library implements a SANE (Scanner Access
Now Easy) backend that provides access to USB flatbed scanners based on National Semiconductor Merlin chipsets(LM9831, 9832 and 9833). If you're looking for parallel-
port support for Plustek scanner please refer to the sane-
plustek_pp backend.
SUPPORTED DEVICES The Backend is able to support USB scanner based on the National Semiconductor chipsets LM9831, LM9832 and LM9833. The following tables show various devices which are currently reported to work. If your Plustek scanner has another Product ID, then the device is NOT supported by this backend.Vendor Plustek - ID: 0x07B3

OTHER PLUSTEK SCANNERSFor parallelport device support see the plustek_pp backend.
The SCSI scanner OpticPro 19200S is a rebadged Artec AM12S scanner and is supported by the Artec backend. Only the National Semiconductor LM983[1/2/] based devices of Plustek are supported by this backend. Older versions of the U12, the UT12, the U1212 and U1248 (GrandTech chipset) are not supported.

CONFIGURATION To use your scanner with this backend, you need at least two entries in the configuration file /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf[usb] vendor-id product-id
device /dev/usbscanner [usb] tells the backend, that the following devicename (here/dev/usbscanner) has to be interpreted as USB scanner dev-
ice. If vendor- and product-id has not been specified, the
backend tries to detect this by its own. If device is set to auto then the next matching device is used. The following options can be used for a default setup of your device. Most of them are also available through the frontend. The Options: option warmup tt specifies the warmup period in seconds, if set to -1,
the automatic warmup function will be used option lampOff t t is the time in seconds for switching off the lamps insane-backends 1.0.1L9ast change: 15 November 2007 3

standby mode option lOffonEnd b b specifies the behaviour when closing the backend, 1--> switch lamps off, 0 --> do not change lamp status
option mov m m is the model override switch. It works only with Mustek BearPaw devices.m/PID | 0x1000 | 0x1001

1 --> use alternate calibration (only non Plustek dev-
ices, standard for CIS devices) option skipFine bb 0 --> perform fine calibration,
1 --> skip fine calibration (only non Plustek devices)
option skipFineWhite bb 0 --> perform white fine calibration,
1 --> skip white fine calibration (only non Plustek
devices) option skipDarkStrip bb 0 --> perform dark calibration, with enabled lamp
using the dark calibration strip of the scanner. If the scanner does not have such a strip, the alternative way is to switch off the lamp during this step.1 --> always switch off the lamp for dark calibration,
even a black strip is available option skipCalibration bb 0 --> perform calibration,
1 --> skip calibration (only non Plustek devices)
option enableTPA bb 0 --> default behaviour, specified by the internal
tables,1 --> override internal tables and allow TPA mode

See the plustek.conf file for examples. Note: You have to make sure, that the USB subsystem is loadedcorrectly and you have access to the device-node. For more
details see sane-usb (5) manpage. You might use sane-find-
scanner to check that you have access to your device. Note: If there's no configuration file, the backend defaults to device autosane-backends 1.0.1L9ast change: 15 November 2007 5

FILES /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf The backend configuration file/usr/lib/sane/libsane-plustek.a
The static library implementing this backend./usr/lib/sane/libsane-plustek.so
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading). ENVIRONMENTSANE_CONFIG_DIR
This environment variable specifies the list of direc-
tories 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 configuration file is searched in two default directories: first, the current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d. If the value of the environment variable ends with thedirectory separator character, then the default direc-
tories are searched after the explicitly specifieddirectories. For example, setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to
"/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and "/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK
If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment variable controls the debug level forthis backend. Higher debug levels increase the verbos-
ity of the output.Example: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=10

or directly from the projects' homepage at: http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek/ To obtain debug messages from the backend, please set theenvironment-variable SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK before calling your
favorite scan-frontend (i.e. xscanimage).
i.e.: export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=20 ; xscanimage
The value controls the verbosity of the backend. Pleasenote, that values greater than 24 force the backend to out-
put raw data files, which could be rather large. The ending of these files is ".raw". For problem reports it should be enough the set the verbosity to 13.KNOWN BUGS & RESTRICTIONS
* The driver does not support these manic scalings up to 16 times the physical resolution. The only scaling is done onresolutions between the physical resolution of the CCD-
/CIS-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 1200dpi steps. * Plusteks' model policy is somewhat inconsistent. They sell technically different devices under the same product name. Therefore it is possible that some devices like the UT12 orU12 won't work - please check the model list above and com-
pare the product-id to the one your device has.
* Negative/Slide scanning quality is poor.
