NAME¶
sane-hp5400 - SANE backend for Hewlett-Packard 54XX scanners
DESCRIPTION¶
The
sane-hp5400 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
backend that provides access to the following Hewlett-Packard USB flatbed
scanners:
ScanJet 5400C
ScanJet 5470C
ScanJet 5490C
More details can be found on the hp5400 backend homepage
http://hp5400backend.sourceforge.net/.
This is ALPHA software. Keep your hand at the scanner's plug and unplug it, if
the head bumps at the end of the scan area. See also the BUGS section.
If you own a scanner other than the ones listed above that works with this
backend, please let us know this by sending the scanner's exact model name and
the USB vendor and device ids (e.g. from
/proc/bus/usb/devices,
sane-find-scanner or syslog) to us. Even if the scanner's name is only
slightly different from the models mentioned above, please let us know.
CONFIGURATION¶
The contents of the
hp5400.conf file is a list of usb lines containing
vendor and product ids that correspond to USB scanners. The file can also
contain the names of device files that correspond to an HP 54XX scanner. Empty
lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. The scanners are
autodetected by
usb vendor_id product_id statements which are already
included into
hp5400.conf. "vendor_id" and
"product_id" are hexadecimal numbers that identify the scanner. If
autodetection does not work, add the device name of your scanner to the
configuration file, e.g.
/dev/usb/scanner0.
FILES¶
- /etc/sane.d/hp5400.conf
- The backend configuration file (see also description of
SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).
- /usr/lib/arch_triplet/sane/libsane-hp5400.a
- The static library implementing this backend.
- /usr/lib/arch_triplet/sane/libsane-hp5400.so
- The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
support dynamic loading).
ENVIRONMENT¶
- SANE_CONFIG_DIR
- This environment variable specifies the list of directories 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 directories are
searched after the explicitly specified directories. For example, setting
SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result in
directories "tmp/config", ".", and
"/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).
- SANE_DEBUG_HP5400
- If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment
variable controls the debug level for this backend. Higher debug levels
increase the verbosity of the output.
Example: export SANE_DEBUG_HP5400=4

BUGS¶
Scanning is only tested with Linux/ix86/gcc. Be careful when testing on other
operating systems and especially on big-endian platforms. The scanner may get
wrong data.
