sane-sp15c(5)             SANE Scanner Access Now Easy             sane-sp15c(5)






NAME

       sane-sp15c - SANE backend for Fujitsu ScanPartner 15C flatbed scanner



DESCRIPTION

       The sane-sp15c library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
       backend which provides access to the Fujitsu flatbed scanners.  At
       present, the following scanner is known to work with these backend:

              Vendor:  Model:           Rev:
              -------- ---------------- -----
              FCPA     ScanPartner 15C  1.01

       The ScanPartner 15C driver supports lineart (1-bit), halftone (1-bit),
       grayscale (4-bit and 8-bit), and color (3 x 8-bit) scanning.

       Other scanners in these families may work.  The ScanPartner 15C seems to
       be a repackaging of the ScanPartner 600C.  People are encouraged to try
       these driver with the other scanners and to contact the author with test
       results.



CONFIGURATION

       A modest effort has been made to expose the standard options to the API.
       This allows frontends such as xscanimage(1) to set scanning region,
       resolution, bit-depth (and color), and enable the automatic document
       feeder.

LIMITATIONS

       Testing limited to a Linux 2.2.5 kernel
       Can't quite get the scan page/minute performance in ADF modes.  This may
       be due to limited system buffer size.



BUGS

       I'm sure there are plenty, and not too well hidden, but I haven't seen
       them yet.
       Both scanners claim to have separate control of resolution in X and Y
       directions. I confess I haven't tested this yet.  I have found that
       xsane(1) doesn't even display this capability.
       Threshold settings on the SP15C don't seem to affect the results of
       lineart mode scans.
       It might be possible to merge these two drivers without much effort since
       the SP15C driver was derived from the M3096G driver.  They were split so
       as to keep the second driver development from breaking the working first
       driver.  Watch this space for changes.
