NAME
sane-teco2 - SANE backend for TECO / RELISYS scannersDESCRIPTION
The sane-teco2 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to some TECO SCSI flatbed scanners. This backend should be considered alpha-quality software! TECO scanners are sold under various brands like Relisys, Piotech, TRUST. This backend may or may not support yours.The scanners that should work with this backend are:
-
Vendor Model TECO model status
---------------------- -------------- -----------
Relisys Scorpio Super 3 VM3575 tested
Apollo Express 6 VM656A tested
Scorpio Pro-S VM6586 tested
Note that the untested scanner will not be directly supported. You should contact the author for that.
The TECO VM number can usually be found at the back of the scanner. It is also part of the FCC ID.
The options the backend supports can either be selected through command line options to programs like scanimage or through GUI elements in xscanimage or xsane.
If you have any success with a scanner not listed here, or if you have
any strange behavior, please report to the backend maintainer or to
the SANE mailing list.
Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using
- scanimage --help -d teco2
- Scan Mode
-
- --mode
-
selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner valid choices are
Black & White
,
Grayscale
and
Color
The Black & White mode is black and white only (1 bit). Grayscale
will produce 256 levels of gray (8 bits). Color will produce a 24 bits
color image.
- --resolution
-
selects the resolution for a scan. The scanner can do all resolutions
between 1 and 600, in increments of 1.
- Geometry options
-
- -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
area. All parameters are specified in millimeters by default.
- Enhancement options
-
- --custom-gamma
-
(color mode only) allows the user to specify a gamma table (see the
next 3 parameters).
- --red-gamma-table
-
(color mode only) can be used to download a user defined
gamma table for the red channel. The table must be 256 bytes long.
- --green-gamma-table
-
(color mode only) can be used to download a user defined
gamma table for the green channel. The table must be 256 bytes long.
- --blue-gamma-table
-
(color mode only) can be used to download a user defined gamma table
for the blue channel. The table must be 256 bytes long.
- --preview
-
requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 22 dpi
and the scan area is the maximum allowed. The scan mode is user
selected. The default is "no".
CONFIGURATION FILE
The configuration file /etc/sane.d/teco2.conf supports only one information: the device name to use (eg /dev/scanner).
