SANE Scanner Access Now Easy                       sane-sm3840(5)



NAME
     sane-sm3840 - SANE backend for Microtek scanners with SCAN08
     USB chip

DESCRIPTION
     The sane-sm3840 library implements a  SANE  (Scanner  Access
     Now  Easy)  backend  that  provides  access to some Microtek
     scanners with the SCAN08 USB chip.

     There exist backends for Microtek scanners with SCSI command
     set.   Refer  to  sane-microtek(5) and sane-microtek2(5) for
     details.

     There also exists a Microtek 3600 series driver,  see  sane-
     sm3600(5) for details.

     At present, the following scanners are known  positively  to
     work with this backend:

          Vendor     Product ID:     Remark:
          --------   --------------  -----------
          Microtek   ScanMaker 3840  All modes OK
          Microtek   ScanMaker 4800  All modes OK

     If you own a Microtek scanner with  the  SCAN08  chip  other
     than  the  ones  listed  above,  it may or may not work with
     SANE.    Feel   free   to   contact   the   backend   author
     (earle@ziplabel.com)  to report results with scanners not on
     the list.



FRONTEND OPTIONS
     The following options are supported by the sm3840-driver:

     --mode colorgray
     Color or grayscale mode.

     --resolution 1503006001200
     Pixels per inch for scans.

     --depth 816
     Note that the least significant bits of 16bpp  mode  may  be
     noise.

     --brightness 1..4096
     Higher numbers increase brightness of returned image.

     --contrast 0.1..9.9
     Larger numbers decrease contrast of returned image.

     --lamp-timeout 1..15

     Time in minutes until the lamp is turned off after a scan.


CONFIGURATION
     This backend does not support  a  configuration  file  right
     now.


FILES
     /usr/lib/sane/libsane-sm3840.a
          The static library implementing this backend.

     /usr/lib/sane/libsane-sm3840.so
          The shared library implementing this  backend  (present
          on systems that support dynamic loading).



ENVIRONMENT
     SANEDEBUGSM3840
          If the library was compiled with debug support enabled,
          this  environment 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.
          To see error messages on stderr  set  SANEDEBUGSM3840
          to 1.
