At present, the following hardware is known to work with this backend:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em\">Microtek ScanMaker E2, E3, E6 <br \/> Microtek ScanMaker II, IIG, IIHR, IISP, III <br \/> Microtek ScanMaker 35t, 35t+, 45t <br \/> Microtek ScanMaker 600GS, 600ZS (see bug notes) <br \/> Agfa StudioScan <br \/> Agfa StudioScan II, StudioScan IIsi <br \/> Agfa Arcus II (but not the &#8220;Arcus&#8221;) <br \/> Agfa DuoScan (preliminary) <br \/> Vobis &#8220;Highscreen Realscan&#8221; <br \/> Microtek Color PageWiz (preliminary)<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em\">Transparent Media Adapter <br \/> Document AutoFeeder<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">The driver supports line art, halftone, 8bpp gray, and 24bpp color scans at normal and &#8220;expanded&#8221; resolutions (i.e. 1200&#215;1200 on an E6), fast scans for color previews, and downloadable gamma tables.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">The supported scanners are all SCSI scanners. However, some parallel port models may work (under Linux), if they use a parport->scsi chip, and if you can find a scsi->parport driver. This is known to be the case for the Color PageWiz.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">The driver does <b>not<\/b> support the newest Microtek scanners, such as the V330 and V660, which use a new and very different SCSI-II command set. For those, try the alternate <b>microtek2<\/b>(5) backend. Most non-SCSI scanners would use the new command set. Most scanners newer than the Scanmaker E6 would use the new command set.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">If you own a Microtek scanner other than the ones listed above, tell us what happens &#8212; see the <b>BUGS<\/b> section at the end of this document.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">Although this manual page is generally updated with each release, up-to-date information on new releases and extraneous helpful hints are available from the backend homepage:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em\"><i>http:\/\/www.mir.com\/mtek\/<\/i><\/p>\n<h2>DEVICE NAMES <a name=\"DEVICE NAMES\"><\/a> <\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">This backend expects device names of the form:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em\"><i>special<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">Where <i>special<\/i> is the UNIX path-name for the special device that corresponds to the scanner. The special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device. Under Linux, such a device name could be <i>\/dev\/sga<\/i> or <i>\/dev\/sge<\/i>, for example.<\/p>\n<h2>CONFIGURATION <a name=\"CONFIGURATION\"><\/a> <\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">The contents of the <i>microtek.conf<\/i> file is a list of device names that correspond to Microtek scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. A sample configuration file is shown below:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em\">\/dev\/scanner <br \/> # this is a comment <br \/> \/dev\/sge<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">The configuration file may also contain the special tokens <i>norealcal<\/i> or <i>noprecal. norealcal<\/i> will disable the use of magic, undocumented scanner calibration commands which are known to work on the E6, but may not work with other models. <i>noprecal<\/i> will disable logic which tries to avoid scanner precalibration. This logic would only have been activated if the magic calibration code was turned off.<\/p>\n<h2>FILES <a name=\"FILES\"><\/a> <\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\"><i>\/etc\/sane.d\/microtek.conf<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:22%;\">The backend configuration file (see also description of <b>SANE_CONFIG_DIR<\/b> below).<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%;\"><i>\/usr\/lib64\/sane\/libsane\u2212microtek.a<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:22%;\">The static library implementing this backend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%;\"><i>\/usr\/lib64\/sane\/libsane\u2212microtek.so<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:22%;\">The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading).<\/p>\n<h2>ENVIRONMENT <a name=\"ENVIRONMENT\"><\/a> <\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\"><b>SANE_CONFIG_DIR<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:22%;\">This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may contain the configuration file. On *NIX systems, the directories are separated by a colon (\u2018:\u2019), under OS\/2, they are separated by a semi-colon (\u2018;\u2019). If this variable is not set, the configuration file is searched in two default directories: first, the current working directory (&#8220;.&#8221;) and then in <i>\/etc\/sane.d<\/i>. If the value of the environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified directories. For example, setting <b>SANE_CONFIG_DIR<\/b> to &#8220;\/tmp\/config:&#8221; would result in directories <i>tmp\/config<\/i>, <i>.<\/i>, and <i>\/etc\/sane.d<\/i> being searched (in this order).<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%;\"><b>SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:22%;\">If the library was compiled with debugging support enabled, this environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. A value of 128 requests maximally copious debug output; smaller levels reduce verbosity.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO <a name=\"SEE ALSO\"><\/a> <\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\"><b>sane<\/b>(7), <b>sane\u2212scsi<\/b>(5), <b>sane\u2212microtek2<\/b>(5)<\/p>\n<h2>AUTHOR <a name=\"AUTHOR\"><\/a> <\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">Matt Marjanovic<\/p>\n<h2>BUGS <a name=\"BUGS\"><\/a> <\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">Known bugs\/limitations are:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em\">Brightness and contrast broken. <br \/> The 600GS is grayscale only, and will lock up if you select color. (Unfortunately, the 600GS and 600ZS are indistinguishable by software.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">i.e. don\u2019t complain about these &#8212; but if brightness and\/or contrast <b>do<\/b> work for you, please tell me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">If your scanner locks up, try setting the <i>norealcal<\/i> or <i>noprecal<\/i> option in the configuration file (first one, then both), and see if it helps. (If it does, report it.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">Send lengthy bug reports and new scanner information to <i>mtek\u2212bugs@mir.com<\/i>. All bug reports and new scanner inquiries should include an error log file. You can generate copious stderr output by setting the <b>SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK<\/b> environment variable described above. For example:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em\">setenv SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK 128<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">More general comments, suggestions, and inquiries about frontends or SANE should go to <i>sane\u2212devel@alioth-lists.debian.net<\/i>, the SANE Developers mailing list.
