NAME

       sane-tamarack - SANE backend for Tamarack flatbed scanners

DESCRIPTION

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

              Artiscan 6000C
              Artiscan 8000C
              Artiscan 12000C

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(1) 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

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

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

       /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-tamarack.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.   On  *NIX  systems,  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_TAMARACK
              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_TAMARACK=4
