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

NAME
       sane-mustek_usb - SANE backend for Mustek USB flatbed scanners

DESCRIPTION
       The sane-mustek_usb library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
       backend that provides access to Mustek USB flatbed scanners  (including
       a  clone	 from Trust).  At present, the following scanners are known to
       work more or less with this backend:

	      Mustek 600 CU
	      Mustek 1200 UB
	      Mustek 1200 CU
	      Mustek 1200 CU Plus
	      Trust Compact Scan USB 19200

       More  details  can  be  found  on  the  Mustek  USB  backend   homepage
       http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/mustek_usb-backend/.

       The  Mustek BearPaw 1200 and 2400 scanners are supported by the plustek
       backend. See sane-plustek(5) for details. The Mustek BearPaw  1200F  is
       supported by the MA-1509 backend. See sane-ma1509(5) for details. Other
       Mustek  USB  scanners  are  supported  by  the  gt68xx	backend,   see
       sane-gt68xx(5).

       This  backend  can only work with scanners that are already detected by
       the operating system. See sane-usb(5) for details.

       If you own a Mustek (or Trust) 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 or syslog) to me.

DEVICE NAMES
       This backend expects device names of the form:

	      special

       Where special is a path-name for the special device that corresponds to
       a USB scanner.  With Linux, such a device name could be	/dev/usb/scan‐
       ner0 or /dev/usbscanner1, for example.

       For FreeBSD use /dev/uscanner0.

CONFIGURATION
       The  contents  of  the  mustek_usb.conf	file  is a list of options and
       device names that correspond to Mustek USB scanners.  Empty  lines  and
       lines  starting	with  a hash mark (#) are ignored. If a device name is
       placed in mustek_usb.conf, it must be followed by a line containing the
       keyword option and an option specifying the scanner type. The following
       options can be used: 600cu, 1200cu, 1200cu_plus, 1200ub.	 For the Trust
       Compact Scan USB 19200 use `option 1200ub'.

       Instead	of  using  the device name, the scanner can be autodetected by
       usb vendor_id product_id statements which  are  already	included  into
       mustek_usb.conf.	  This	is  only supported with Linux 2.4.8 and higher
       and all systems that support libsub. "vendor_id" and  "product_id"  are
       hexadecimal  numbers that identify the scanner. If this doesn't work, a
       device name and the option specifying the scanner type must  be	placed
       in mustek_usb.conf as described above.

       The  global  option  max_block_size  can be used to limit the amount of
       data acquired in one turn from the USB system. It may be worth  trying,
       if USB errors occur.

       A sample configuration file is shown below:

	      # Comment
	      option max_block_size 1024
	      usb 0x055f 0x0001
	      /dev/usb/scanner0
	      option 600cu

       The  first  line	 is ignored. The second line sets the buffer size to a
       maximum of 1024 bytes.  The third line tries to	autodetect  a  scanner
       with  vendor  id	 0x055f	 and  product  id 0x0001 (Mustek 1200 CU). The
       fourth line tells the backend to attach to  /dev/usb/scanner0  and  the
       fifth line specifies that /dev/usb/scanner0 is a Mustek 600 CU.

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

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

       /usr/lib/sane/libsane-mustek_usb.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 /etc/sane.d.	If the
	      value  of the environment variable ends with the directory sepa‐
	      rator 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_MUSTEK_USB
	      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.

	      Value  Description
	      0	     no output
	      1	     print fatal errors
	      2	     print important messages
	      3	     print non-fatal errors and less important messages
	      4	     print all but debugging messages
	      5	     print high level debugging messages
	      6	     print medium level debugging messages
	      7	     print low level debugging messages

	      Example: export SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_USB=4

AUTHOR
       Henning Meier-Geinitz <henning@meier-geinitz.de>
       This backend is based on the Mustek 1200ub backend from	Mustek,	 main‐
       tained by Tom Wang.

BUGS
       These  devices  have a hardware bug: Once data is written to them, they
       can't be reset (toggle = DATA0). That means, any operation  that	 tries
       to reset the device will result in running into timeouts.

       In  earlier  versions this backend failed when it was loaded the second
       time in some configurations. The only choice was to replug the  scanner
       in  this	 case. The backend uses a workaround for that bug now but it's
       only tested on Linux. Reports for other operating systems are  appreci‐
       ated.

       More  detailed bug information is available at the Mustek backend home‐
       page http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/mustek_usb-backend/.
