SANE Scanner Access Now Easy                        sane-ricoh(5)



NAME
     sane-ricoh - SANE backend for Ricoh flatbed scanners

DESCRIPTION
     The sane-ricoh library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now
     Easy)  backend  that  provides access to the following Ricoh
     flatbed scanners:

          IS50
          IS60

DEVICE NAMES
     This backend expects device names of the form:

          special

     Where special is the path-name for the special  device  that
     corresponds  to a SCSI scanner. The special device name must
     be a generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device.  The
     program sane-find-scanner helps to find out the correct dev-
     ice. Under Linux, such a device name could  be  /dev/sga  or
     /dev/sge, for example.  See sane-scsi(5) for details.


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

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

     /usr/lib/sane/libsane-ricoh.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).

     SANEDEBUGRICOH
          If the library was compiled with debug support enabled,
          this  environment variable controls the debug level for
          this backend.  Higher debug levels increase the verbos-
          ity of the output.

          Example: export SANEDEBUGRICOH=4
