USCANNER(4)		   BSD Programmer's Manual		   USCANNER(4)

NAME
     uscanner - minimal USB support for scanners

SYNOPSIS
     uscanner* at uhub? port ? configuration ?

DESCRIPTION
     The uscanner driver provides minimal support for USB scanners. The driver
     recognizes a number of USB scanners, but to actually scan anything there
     needs to be software that knows about the particular scanner. The SANE
     package provides support for some scanners.

HARDWARE
     The uscanner driver works with the following scanners:

  Epson
	   GT-7000
	   Perfection 610U
	   Perfection 636U
	   Perfection 1200U
	   Perfection 1200U Photo

  HP
	   ScanJet 4100C
	   ScanJet 5200C
	   ScanJet 5300C
	   ScanJet 6300C

  Microtek
	   ScanMaker X6USB

     Many other scanners are recognized, but there is no software support for
     them yet.

HISTORY
     The uscanner driver appeared in NetBSD 1.6. OpenBSD support was first ad-
     ded in OpenBSD 2.9.

BUGS
     This driver should not really exist. The scanners it recognizes can be
     accessed through the ugen(4) driver instead. A proper scanner driver
     would provide a uniform interface to scanners instead of exposing the in-
     nards of the scanner. The reason the driver exists is to have something
     that is compatible with the Linux driver.
