       sane-ricoh - SANE backend for Ricoh flatbed scanners

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  sane-ricoh	library  implements  a	SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
       backend that provides access to the following Ricoh flatbed scanners:

	      IS50
	      IS60

DEVICE NAMES    [Toc]    [Back]

       This backend expects device names of the form:

	      special

       Where special is the path-name for the special device that  corresponds
       to  a  SCSI  scanner.  The  special  device name must be a generic SCSI
       device 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/sga or  /dev/sge,	for  example.	See  sane-scsi(5)  for
       details.

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]

       /etc/sane.d/ricoh.conf
	      The   backend   configuration  file  (see  also  description  of
	      SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).

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

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

ENVIRONMENT    [Toc]    [Back]

       SANE_CONFIG_DIR
	      This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
	      may contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories
	      are  separated  by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated
	      by a semi-colon (`;').  If this variable is not set, the configuration
  file is searched in two default directories: first, the
	      current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d.	If the
	      value  of the environment variable ends with the directory separator
 character, then the default directories are searched after
	      the  explicitly  specified  directories.	 For  example, setting
	      SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would  result  in  directories
	      "tmp/config",  ".",  and	"/etc/sane.d"  being searched (in this
	      order).

       SANE_DEBUG_RICOH    [Toc]    [Back]
	      If the library was compiled with	debug  support	enabled,  this
	      environment  variable controls the debug level for this backend.
	      Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.

	      Example: export SANE_DEBUG_RICOH=4
