DESCRIPTION
SANE-based scan utility for HPLIP supported all-in-one/mfp devices.
SYNOPSIS
hp-scan [DEVICE_URI|PRINTER_NAME] [MODE] [OPTIONS]
PRINTER|DEVICE-URI
To specify a device-URI:
-d<device-uri> or --device=<device-uri>
To specify a CUPS printer:
-p<printer> or --printer=<printer>
MODE
Run in interactive mode:
-i or --interactive
OPTIONS
Set the logging level:
-l<level> or --logging=<level> <level>: none, info*, error,
warn, debug (*default)
Run in debug mode:
-g (same as option: -ldebug)
This help information:
-h or --help
OPTIONS (GENERAL)
Scan destinations:
-s<dest_list> or --dest=<dest_list> where <dest_list> is a comma
separated list containing one or more of: 'file' , 'viewer',
'editor', 'pdf', or 'print'. Use only commas between values, no
spaces.
Scan mode:
-m<mode> or --mode=<mode>. Where <mode> is 'gray'*, 'color' or
'lineart'.
Scanning resolution:
-r<resolution_in_dpi> or --res=<resolution_in_dpi> or --resolu-
tion=<resolution_in_dpi> where 300 is default.
Image resize:
--resize=<scale_in_%> (min=1%, max=400%, default=100%)
Color Dropout Red :
-color_dropout_red_value=<color_dropout_red_value> or
--color_dropout_red_value=<color_dropout_red_value>
Color Dropout Green :
-color_dropout_green_value=<color_dropout_green_value> or
--color_dropout_green_value=<color_dropout_green_value>
Color Dropout Blue :
-color_dropout_blue_value=<color_dropout_blue_value> or
--color_dropout_blue_value=<color_dropout_blue_value>
Color Dropout Range :
-color_range=<color_range> or --color_range=<color_range>
Image contrast:
-c=<contrast> or --contrast=<contrast> The contrast range varies
from device to device.
Image brightness:
-b=<brightness> or --brightness=<brightness> The brightness
range varies from device to device.
ADF mode:
--adf (Note, only PDF output is supported when using the ADF)
--duplex or --dup for duplex scanning using ADF.
OPTIONS (SCAN AREA)
Specify the units for area/box measurements:
-t<units> or --units=<units> where <units> is 'mm'*, 'cm', 'in',
'px', or 'pt' ('mm' is default).
Scan area:
-a<tlx>,<tly>,<brx>,<bry> or --area=<tlx>,<tly>,<brx>,<bry> Co-
ordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the scan
area. Units for tlx, tly, brx, and bry are specified by
-t/--units (default is 'mm'). Use only commas between values,
no spaces.
Scan box:
--box=<tlx>,<tly>,<width>,<height> tlx and tly coordinates are
relative to the upper left corner of the scan area. Units for
tlx, tly, width, and height are specified by -t/--units (default
is 'mm'). Use only commas between values, no spaces.
Top left x of the scan area:
--tlx=<tlx> Coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of
the scan area. Units are specified by -t/--units (default is
'mm').
Top left y of the scan area:
--tly=<tly> Coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of
the scan area. Units are specified by -t/--units (default is
'mm').
Bottom right x of the scan area:
--brx=<brx> Coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of
the scan area. Units are specified by -t/--units (default is
'mm').
Bottom right y of the scan area:
--bry=<bry> Coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of
the scan area. Units are specified by -t/--units (default is
'mm').
Specify the scan area based on a paper size:
--size=<paper size name> where <paper size name> is one of: 3x5,
4x6, 5x7, a2_env, a3, a4, a5, a6, b4, b5, c6_env, dl_env, exec,
flsa, higaki, japan_env_3, japan_env_4, legal, letter,
no_10_env, oufufu-hagaki, photo, super_b
OPTIONS ('FILE' DEST)
Filename for 'file' destination:
-o<file> or -f<file> or --file=<file> or --output=<file>
OPTIONS ('PDF' DEST)
PDF viewer application:
--pdf=<pdf_viewer>
OPTIONS ('VIEWER' DEST)
Image viewer application:
-v<viewer> or --viewer=<viewer>
OPTIONS ('EDITOR' DEST)
Image editor application:
-e<editor> or --editor=<editor>
OPTIONS ('EMAIL' DEST)
From: address for 'email' dest:
--email-from=<email_from_address> (required for 'email' dest.)
To: address for 'email' dest:
--email-to=<email__to_address> (required for 'email' dest.)
