SANE Scanner Access Now Easy sane-teco1(5)
NAME
sane-teco1 - SANE backend for TECO / RELISYS scanners
DESCRIPTION
The sane-teco1 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now
Easy) backend that provides access to some TECO SCSI flatbedscanners. This backend should be considered beta-quality
software! TECO scanners are sold under various brands like RELISYS, PIOTECH, TRUST. This backend may or may not support yours. The scanners that should work with this backend are: Vendor Model TECO model status---------------------- -------------- -----------

Note that the untested scanner will not be directly sup-
ported. You should contact the author for that. The TECO VM number can usually be found at the back of thescanner. It is also part of the FCC ID. "sane-find-scanner
-v" will also show the scsi inquiry, and if it is a TECO
scanner, the name will be there too. The options the backend supports can either be selected through command line options to programs like scanimage or through GUI elements in xscanimage or xsane. If you have any success with a scanner not listed here, orif you have any strange behavior, please report to the back-
end maintainer or to the SANE mailing list. Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed bysane-backends 1.0.1L9ast change: August 30th, 2002 1

usingscanimage --help -d teco1
Scan Mode--mode
selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner valid choices are Black & White , Grayscale and Color The Black & White mode is black and white only (1 bit). Grayscale will produce 256 levels of gray (8 bits). Color will produce a 24 bits color image.--resolution
selects the resolution for a scan. The scanner can do all resolutions between 1 and 600, in increments of 1. Geometry options-l -t -x -y
control the scan area: -l sets the top left x coordi-
nate, -t the top left y coordinate, -x selects the
width and -y the height of the scan area. All parame-
ters are specified in millimeters by default. Enhancement options--custom-gamma
(color mode only) allows the user to specify a gamma table (see the next 3 parameters).--red-gamma-table
(color mode only) can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the red channel. The table must be 256 bytes long.--green-gamma-table
(color mode only) can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the green channel. The table must be 256 bytes long.sane-backends 1.0.1L9ast change: August 30th, 2002 2

--blue-gamma-table
(color mode only) can be used to download a user defined gamma table for the blue channel. The table must be 256 bytes long.--dither
(Black & White only) select the dither mask to use. Possible values are Line art , 2x2 , 3x3 , 4x4 bayer , 4x4 smooth , 8x8 bayer , 8x8 smooth , 8x8 horizontal and 8x8 vertical--preview
requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 22 dpi and the scan area is the maximum allowed. The scan mode is user selected. The default is "no". CONFIGURATION FILE The configuration file /etc/sane.d/teco1.conf supports only one information: the device name to use (eg /dev/scanner). FILES/usr/lib/sane/libsane-teco1.a
The static library implementing this backend./usr/lib/sane/libsane-teco1.so
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading). ENVIRONMENTSANE_DEBUG_TECO1
If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g., a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller levels reduce verbosity. LIMITATIONS The windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE backend. However they are only software adjustments. This backend only implements what the scanner can support.sane-backends 1.0.1L9ast change: August 30th, 2002 3
