SANE Scanner Access Now Easy                        sane-ricoh(5)



NAME
     sane-ricoh - SANE backend for Ricoh flatbed scanners

DESCRIPTION
     The sane-ricoh library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now
     Easy)  backend  that  provides access to the following Ricoh
     flatbed scanners:

          IS50
          IS60

DEVICE NAMES
     This backend expects device names of the form:

          special

     Where special is the path-name for the special  device  that
     corresponds  to a SCSI scanner. The special device name must
     be a generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device.  The
     program sane-find-scanner helps to find out the correct dev-
     ice. Under Linux, such a device name could  be  /dev/sga  or
     /dev/sge, for example.  See sane-scsi(5) for details.


FILES
     /etc/sane.d/ricoh.conf
          The backend configuration file (see also description of
          SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).

     /usr/lib/sane/libsane-ricoh.a
          The static library implementing this backend.

     /usr/lib/sane/libsane-ricoh.so
          The shared library implementing this  backend  (present
          on systems that support dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT
     SANE_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 the
          directory separator character, then the default  direc-
          tories  are  searched  after  the  explicitly specified
          directories.  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_RICOH
          If the library was compiled with debug support enabled,
          this  environment variable controls the debug level for
          this backend.  Higher debug levels increase the verbos-
          ity of the output.

          Example: export SANE_DEBUG_RICOH=4
