NAME
     sane-dc25 - SANE backend for Kodak DC20/DC25 Digital Cameras

DESCRIPTION
     The sane-dc25 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access  Now
     Easy)  backend  that  provides access to Kodak DC20 and DC25
     cameras.  At present, only the DC25  has  been  tested,  but
     since  the  code is based on a DC20 interface program, it is
     likely to work for that model also.

DEVICE NAMES
     The current version of the backend only allows one camera to
     be connected.  The device name is always "0".

CONFIGURATION
     The contents of the dc25.conf specify the  serial  port  and
     baud  rate to use.  The baud rate specifies the maximum rate
     to use while downloading pictures.  (The  camera  is  always
     initialized  using  9600  baud,  then switches to the higher
     rate).  On my 90MHz Pentium,  I  usually  have  no  problems
     downloading  at  115200  baud  as  long as the system is not
     excessively busy and the "interrupt-unmask flag" is  set  in
     the  IDE  driver  (hdparm  -u1).   Supported baud rates are:
     9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200.

     The dumpinquiry line causes some information about the  cam-
     era  to be printed to stderr during startup.  Note:  This is
     not compatible with saned, so make sure you don't  have  any
     dumpinquiry lines if you are using saned (i.e. scanning on a
     remote machine using a network).

     Empty lines and lines starting with  a  hash  mark  (#)  are
     ignored.  A sample configuration file is shown below:

          port=/dev/ttyS0
          # this is a comment
          baud=115200
          dumpinquiry

FILES
     /etc/sane.d/dc25.conf
          The backend configuration file (see also description of
          SANECONFIGDIR below).

     /usr/lib/sane/libsane-dc25.a
          The static library implementing this backend.

     /usr/lib/sane/libsane-dc25.so
          The shared library implementing this  backend  (present
          on systems that support dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT
     SANECONFIGDIR
          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  SANECONFIGDIR  to
          "/tmp/config:"     would    result    in    directories
          "tmp/config", ".", and "/etc/sane.d" being searched (in
          this order).

     SANEDEBUGDC25
          If the library  was  compiled  with  debugging  support
          enabled,  this  environment variable controls the debug
          level for this backend. A value of 128  requests  maxi-
          mally  copious debug output; smaller levels reduce ver-
          bosity.

BUGS
     Known bugs/limitations are:

     I haven't figured out how to trigger an option  reload  fol-
     lowing a "scan."  This causes problems when a new picture is
     snapped for example, the slider that is used to  select  the
     picture from the camera may not be updated immediately.

     More general  comments,  suggestions,  and  inquiries  about
     frontends  or  SANE should go to the SANE Developers mailing
     list (see http:/www.sane-project.org/mailing-lists.html for
