SANE Scanner Access Now Easy sane-lexmark(5)
NAME
sane-lexmark - SANE backend for Lexmark X1100/X1200 Series
scanners
DESCRIPTION
The sane-lexmark library implements a SANE (Scanner Access
Now Easy) backend that provides access to the scanner part
of Lexmark X1100/X1200 AIOs. This backend should be con-
sidered beta-quality software!
The scanners that should work with this backend are:
Vendor Model status
---------------------- -----------
Lexmark X1110 untested
Lexmark X1140 untested
Lexmark X1150 good
Lexmark X1170 good
Lexmark X1180 good
Lexmark X1185 complete
Lexmark X12xx good in USB1.1,
not fully tested in USB2.0
Dell A920 good
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 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 by
using
scanimage --help -d lexmark:usb:
Scan Mode Options
--mode
selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner
valid choices are R Color , Gray and Lineart The
default mode is Color. The Lineart mode is black and
white only (1 bit). Grayscale will produce 256 levels
of gray (8 bits). Color mode allows for over 16 million
different colors produced from 24 bits of color infor-
mation.
--resolution
selects the resolution for a scan. The horizontal and
vertical resolutions are set by the value of this

option. The scanner is capable of the following resolu-
tions for the specified option value:
Value Hor. Resolution Vert. Resolution
----- --------------- -------------------
75 75dpi 75dpi
150 150dpi 150dpi
300 300dpi 300dpi
600 600dpi 600dpi
1200 600dpi 1200dpi (only for X11xx models with 'B2' sensor)
--preview
requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that
scan is 75 dpi and the scan area and the scan mode are
as specified through their options, or the default if
not specified. The default value for preview mode is
"no".
--threshold
selects the minimum-brightness to get a white point.
The threshold is only used with Lineart mode scans. It
is specified as a percentage in the range 0..100% (in
steps of 1). The default value of the threshold option
is 50.
CONFIGURATION FILE
The configuration file /etc/sane.d/lexmark.conf contains
only the usb device id (eg usb 0x043d 0x007c).
FILES
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-lexmark.a
The static library implementing this backend.
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-lexmark.so
The shared library implementing this backend (present
on systems that support dynamic loading).
ENVIRONMENT
SANEDEBUGLEXMARK
SANEDEBUGLEXMARKLOW If the library was compiled with
debug support enabled, this environment variable con-
trols the debug level for this backend. E.g., a value
of 255 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.
For instance, shading correction (vertical stripes due to
sensor variation across its width) is done in software. Head
park position is also detected by software. The data
compression isn't supported for the X1200 serie on USB 1.1,
leading to slow scans.
BUGS
No bugs currently known.
