NAME
sane-nec - SANE backend for NEC scanners
DESCRIPTION
The sane-nec library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend
that provides access to NEC SCSI scanners. This backend should be con-
sidered alpha-quality software! In the current state it is known to
work with PC-IN500/4C scanners. Other MultiReader scanner series are not
supported. PC-IN 500/4C and MultiReader scanner are only sold in Japan
(except Multi Reader PetiScan).
For other scanners, it may or may not work.
The backend has the following known problems:
- ColorLineart mode is not supported.
- Device name is fixed to /dev/scanner
At present, the following scanners are known to work with this backend.
Vendor Product id
------ -----------
NEC PC-IN500/4C
FILES
/etc/sane.d/nec.conf
The backend configuration file.
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-nec.a
The static library implementing this backend.
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-nec.so
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
that support dynamic loading).
ENVIRONMENT
SANE_DEBUG_NEC
If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this en-
vironment 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.
