       sane-nec - SANE backend for NEC scanners

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  sane-nec library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend
 that provides access to NEC SCSI scanners.  This backend should  be
       considered alpha-quality software!  In the current state it is known to
       work with PC-IN500/4C scanners. Another MultiReader scanner  series  is
       not  supported.	PC-IN  500/4C and MultiReader scanner are only sold in
       Japan.(except Multi Reader PetiScan.)

       For other scanners, it may or may not work.

       The backend has the following known problems:
	      - ColorLineart mode is not supported.
	      - device name is fixed to /dev/scanner

       At present, the following scanners are known to work with this backend.
	      Vendor Product id
	      ------ -----------
	      NEC    PC-IN500/4C

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]

       /etc/sane.d/nec.conf
	      The backend configuration file.

       /usr/lib/sane/libsane-nec.a
	      The static library implementing this backend.

       /usr/lib/sane/libsane-nec.so
	      The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
	      that support dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT    [Toc]    [Back]

       SANE_DEBUG_NEC
	      If the library was compiled with	debug  support	enabled,  this
	      environment  variable controls the debug level for this backend.
	      E.g., a value of 128 requests all debug output  to  be  printed.
	      Smaller levels reduce verbosity.
