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

NAME
       sane-genesys - SANE backend for GL646 and GL841 based USB flatbed scan‐
       ners

DESCRIPTION
       The sane-genesys library implements a SANE (Scanner  Access  Now	 Easy)
       backend	that  provides	access	to  USB	 flatbed scanners based on the
       Genesys GL646 and GL841 chips.  At present, the following scanners  are
       known to work with this backend:

	      Medion MD6228
	      Medion MD6274
	      Hewlett-Packard HP2300C
	      Canon LiDE 35/40/50/60

       This is BETA software. Especially if you test new or untested scanners,
       keep your hand at the scanner's plug and unplug it, if the  head	 bumps
       at the end of the scan area.

       If  you	own a scanner other than the ones listed above that works with
       this backend, please let me know this by sending	 the  scanner's	 exact
       model   name   and   the	  USB	vendor	 and  device  ids  (e.g.  from
       /proc/bus/usb/devices , sane-find-scanner or syslog) to the  sane-devel
       mailing	list.  Even  if	 the scanner's name is only slightly different
       from the models mentioned above, please let me know.

       If you own a scanner that isn't detected by the genesys backend but has
       a GL646 or GL841 chipset, you can try to add it to the backend.

SYSTEM ISSUES
       This  backend  needs libusb-0.1.6 or later installed, and hasn't tested
       in other configuration than a linux kernel 2.6.9 or higher. However, it
       should  work  any system with libusb where the SANE package can be com‐
       piled. For setting permissions and  general  USB	 information  look  at
       sane-usb(5).

CONFIGURATION
       The contents of the genesys.conf file is a list of usb lines containing
       vendor and product ids that correspond to USB scanners.	The  file  can
       also  contain option lines.  Empty lines and lines starting with a hash
       mark (#) are ignored.  The scanners are autodetected by	usb  vendor_id
       product_id  statements  which  are  already included into genesys.conf.
       "vendor_id" and "product_id" are hexadecimal numbers that identify  the
       scanner.

FILES
       /system/resources/sane-backends/1.0.18/etc/sane.d/genesys.conf
	      The   backend   configuration  file  (see	 also  description  of
	      SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).

       /system/resources/sane-backends/1.0.18/lib/sane/libsane-genesys.a
	      The static library implementing this backend.

       /system/resources/sane-backends/1.0.18/lib/sane/libsane-genesys.so
	      The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
	      that support dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT
       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 config‐
	      uration  file is searched in two default directories: first, the
	      current	working	  directory   (".")   and   then   in	 /sys‐
	      tem/resources/sane-backends/1.0.18/etc/sane.d.   If the value of
	      the environment variable ends with the directory separator char‐
	      acter,  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	 "/system/resources/sane-back‐
	      ends/1.0.18/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).

       SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS
	      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. If the
	      debug level is set to 1 or higher,  some	debug  options	become
	      available	 that are normally hidden. Handle them with care. This
	      will print messages related to core genesys functions.

       SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS_GL646
	      This environment variable controls the debug level for the  spe‐
	      cific GL646 code part.

       SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS_GL841
	      This  environment variable controls the debug level for the spe‐
	      cific GL841 code part.

	      Example (full and highly verbose output for gl646):
	      export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=255
	      export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS_GL646=255
