sane-m3096g, sane-sp15c - SANE backends for Fujitsu flatbed scanners
The sane-m3096g and sane-sp15c libraries implement SANE (Scanner Access
Now Easy) backends which provide access to Fujitsu flatbed scanners.
At present, the following scanners are known to work with these backends:
Vendor: Model: Rev:
-------- ---------------- -----
FUJITSU M3096Gm 02
FCPA ScanPartner 15C 1.01
The M3096G driver supports lineart (1-bit), halftone (1-bit), and
grayscale (8-bit) scanning.
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. Perusal of the
M3096GX/M3093GX/M3093DG manual suggests the M3096G driver offers access
to a subset of the new scanners. People are encouraged to try these
driver with the other scanners and to contact the author with test
results.
A modest effort has been made to expose the standard options to the
API. This allows frontends such as xscanimage to set scanning region,
resolution, bit-depth (and color), and enable the automatic document
feeder.

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.
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 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.
