NAME

       sane-geniusvp2 - SANE backend for Genius ColorPage-Vivid Pro II (PP) scanner

DESCRIPTION

       The  sane-geniusvp2  backend  supports EICI 091000 based parallel port flatbed scanners. This ASIC can be
       found on some Primax devices, and on the Genius ColorPage-Vivid Pro  II  scanner  (which  is  actually  a
       Primax OEM device).

SUPPORTED DEVICES

       The following scanner should work with this backend:

       Device Details
       -----------------------------
       Vendor: Genius
       Model: ColorPage-Vivid Pro II
       FCC ID: EMJFB308C
       MODEL NO: FB601C

       Chipset Details
       ----------------------------------
       ASIC ID: 0xE1
       Product ID: 0x06
       ASIC: EICI 091000
       AFE: Wolfson WM-8143-12
       Memory: NEC uPD424210-60 (256 Kb?)

CONFIGURATION

       This section describes the backend's configuration file entries. The file is located at:

              /etc/sane.d/geniusvp2.conf

       For a proper setup, you will need at least this entry:

              device parport0

       Currently, only access through ppdev is supported.

PARALLEL PORT MODES

       Only  EPP  mode  (including "EPP+ECP") is supported. Future versions may include support for the (slower)
       SPP mode.

FILES

       /etc/sane.d/geniusvp2.conf
              The backend configuration file

       /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-geniusvp2.a
              The static library implementing this backend.

       /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-geniusvp2.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 configuration 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 separator 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_GENIUSVP2
              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_GENIUSVP2=10

              To obtain debug messages from the backend, set  this  environment  variable  before  calling  your
              favorite frontend (e.g. xscanimage).

              Example: export SANE_DEBUG_GENIUSVP2=10 ; xscanimage

KNOWN BUGS AND RESTRICTIONS

       Scan  may  sometimes timeout due to the scanner's buffer not being filled after some reasonable time, and
       you get a truncated image. Just try scanning again and it should work.

       Scans at high resolutions (e.g. 600 dpi.) may also be truncated if the selected scan area is  too  large.
       Just scan at lower (<= 300 dpi.) resolutions for now if you want a larger image.

       The  lamp  carriage  may sometimes go out of its maximum distance (297 mm), forcing the motor engine. You
       can detect this when the scanner produces a "strange" noise and the carriage is at its  maximum  distance
       from  home.  In  this  situation, turn off scanner power immediately, or you may risk damage your device.
       This seems to happen more often when scanning full pages at high resolutions.
