Man page 5 : sane-niash

sane-niash - SANE backend for scanners based on the NIASH chipset.

The

sane-niash implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to NIASH chipset based scanners. This backend will try to support the following models:

MANUFACTURER:    MODEL:          USB ID:
---------------  ----------------  ---------
Agfa             Snapscan Touch    06BD-0100 (1)(a)
Trust            Office Scan 19200 047B-1000 (1)(a)
Hewlett-Packard  Scanjet 3300c     03F0-0205 (1)(a)(b)
Hewlett-Packard  Scanjet 3400c     03F0-0405 (2)(b)
Hewlett-Packard  Scanjet 4300c     03F0-0305 (2)(a)
Silitek          ScanJet 4300c     047B-1002 (2)(b)

ASIC: (1) - NIASH00012/00013/00014 / (2) - NIASH00019
ANALOG FRONT-END: (a) - ESIC ES8100QA / (b) - WM8143-12

The niash.conffile is meant for future configuration options. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. Currently no configuration options exist.

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

If you use a
Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 3400c or
Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 4300c
together with Linux kernel

R 2.6 , kernel version

2.6.8 or newer is necessary.

SANE_DEBUG_NIASH

    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_NIASH=255

R sane (7),

R sane-usb (5)
