NAME
sane-canon630u - SANE backend for the Canon 630u USB flatbed scannerDESCRIPTION
The sane-canon library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to the following Canon flatbed scanners:
-
CanoScan 630u
CanoScan 636u (hopefully)
IMPORTANT: this is alpha code. Although there are no known bugs at this time, this code uses the Linux USB kernel drivers, which are currently in active development. So it may not work, your computer might even hang, and it cannot be excluded (although I consider it extremely unprobable) that your scanner will be damaged.
That said, TESTERS ARE WELCOME. Send your bug reports and comments to Nathan Rutman <nathan@gordian.com>
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 USB scanner or a symlink to such a device. The program sane-find-scanner helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a device name could be /dev/usb/scanner0 for example. See sane-usb(5) for details.
CONFIGURATION
The contents of the canon630u.conf file is a list of device names that correspond to Canon USB scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. Only one device name can be listed in canon630u.conf.SEE ALSO
