sane-coolscan(5)	 SANE Scanner Access Now Easy	      sane-coolscan(5)

NAME
       sane-coolscan - SANE backend for Nikon film-scanners

ABOUT THIS FILE
       This file is a short description of the coolscan-backend for sane!

DESCRIPTION
       The  sane-coolscan  library implements a SANE backend that provides the
       interface to the following Nikon Coolscan Film  scanners:  Nikon	 LS20,
       LS30, LS1000, LS2000.

       Even  though  the  backend has worked for a number of people, there are
       still  some  problems,  especially  in  combination  with   some	  SCSI
       card/drivers (AHA-1505/aha152x.o) and the autofocus command. You should
       consider this backend 'alpha' and be careful when using	it  the	 first
       time.

CONFIGURATION
       The    configuration    file    for    this    backend	 resides    in
       /etc/sane.d/coolscan.conf.

       Its contents is a  list	of  device  names  that	 correspond  to	 Nikon
       Coolscan	 scanners. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#)
       are ignored. A sample configuration file is shown below:

	#scsi Vendor Model Type
	scsi Nikon * Scanner
	/dev/scanner

       The special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a  symlink  to
       such  a	device.	  To find out to which device your scanner is assigned
       and how you have to set the permissions of that device, have a look  at
       sane-scsi.

SCSI ADAPTER TIPS
       Some  SCSI-adapters  and	 low-level  SCSI drivers do not work correctly
       with this backend and the Coolscan scanners. These  systems  hang  when
       the  autofocus  command is send to the Scanner.	To see a list of which
       card/driver  combinations  work	or  dont  work	 have	a   look   at:
       http://andreas.rick.free.fr/sane/autofocus.html.

FILES
       The backend configuration file:
	      /etc/sane.d/coolscan.conf

       The static library implementing this backend:
	      /usr/lib*/sane/libsane-coolscan.a

       The shared library implementing this backend:
	      /usr/lib*/sane/libsane-coolscan.so (present on systems that sup‐
	      port dynamic loading)

ENVIRONMENT
       SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN
	      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: SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN values

	      Examples:

	      on bash:
	      export SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN=8

	      on csh:
	      setenv SANE_DEBUG_COOLSCAN 8

BUGS
       The autofocus command does not work with some SCSI card/driver combina‐
       tions

       The gamma table is not implemented for the LS1000 yet.

       The dust-removal is not working yet

THANKS TO
       Didier Carlier - For writing the original Coolscan backend (without  it
       I would not have started this)

       Oliver Rauch - For adapting xsane so quickly to the infrared stuff.

       All the other people working on SANE.
