NAME
sane-matsushita - SANE backend for Panasonic KV-SS high speed scannersDESCRIPTION
The sane-matsushita library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to some Panasonic KV-SS high speed scanners. This backend is stable.At present, the following scanners are known to work with this backend:
-
Product id
--------------
KV-SS 25
KV-SS 25D
Other Panasonic high speed scanners may or may not work with that backend.
Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using
- scanimage --help -d matsushita
- Scan Mode
-
- --mode
- selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner.
- --resolution
- selects the resolution for a scan. Each model supports all or a subset of these resolutions: 100, 150, 200, 240, 300, 360, 400.
- --duplex
- indicates whether to scan both side of the sheet.
- --feeder-mode
-
selects the number of pages to scan (one or until the tray is empty).
- Geometry
-
- --paper-size A4|...|Legal|Letter [A4]
-
options selects the area to scan. It adjust the
-l -t -x -y
options accordingly. It does not need to be the real size of the paper.
- -l -t -x -y
-
control the scan area: -l sets the top left x coordinate, -t the top
left y coordinate, -x selects the width and -y the height of the scan
aea. All parameters are specified in milimeters. It is possible to use
the option
--paper-size
instead.
- Enhancement
-
- --brightness
- controls the brightness of the acquired image. The value varies from 1 to 255, or less, depending on the scanner model.
- --contrast
- controls the contrast of the acquired image. Some models do not support that option.
- --automatic-threshold
- automatically sets brightness, contrast, white level, gamma, noise reduction and image emphasis. These options are not available when automatic-threshold is in use.
- --halftone-pattern
- option sets the tonal gradation for the halftone mode. Pattern downloading is not implemented by the backend.
- --autoseparation
- provides automatic separation of text and images.
- --white-level
- option indicate the source of the white base.
- --noise-reduction
- reduces the isolated dot noise. This option is not supported by all scanners.
- --image-emphasis
- option sets the image emphasis. Some selection are not available on all scanners.
- --gamma
-
options set the gamma curve. It is only valid for Gray modes, and is not available on all scanners. Gamma downloading is not implemented by the backend.
CONFIGURATION FILE
The configuration file /etc/sane.d/matsushita.conf supports the device name to use (eg /dev/scanner) and the scsi option to autodetect the scanners supported.
