NAME

       sane-ricoh - SANE backend for Ricoh flatbed scanners

DESCRIPTION

       The  sane-ricoh  library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides
       access to the following Ricoh flatbed scanners:

              IS50
              IS60

DEVICE NAMES

       This backend expects device names of the form:

              special

       Where special is the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a SCSI  scanner.
       The  special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device.  The
       program sane-find-scanner helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a device
       name could be /dev/sga or /dev/sge, for example.  See sane-scsi(5) for details.

FILES

       @CONFIGDIR@/ricoh.conf
              The backend configuration file (see also description of SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).

       @LIBDIR@/libsane-ricoh.a
              The static library implementing this backend.

       @LIBDIR@/libsane-ricoh.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 @CONFIGDIR@.  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 "@CONFIGDIR@" being searched (in this order).

       SANE_DEBUG_RICOH
              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_RICOH=4
