NAME

       sane-magicolor - SANE backend for KONICA MINOLTA magicolor scanners

DESCRIPTION

       The  sane-magicolor  backend  supports  KONICA  MINOLTA  magicolor  scanners  connected  via  USB or LAN.
       Currently, only the magicolor 1690MF device is  supported,  no  other  devices  with  the  same  scanning
       protocol are known.

SUPPORTED DEVICES

       The following scanner should work with this backend:

       Device Details
       -----------------------------
       Vendor: KONICA MINOLTA
       Model: magicolor 1690MF

CONFIGURATION

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

              /etc/sane.d/magicolor.conf

       For a proper setup, at least one of the following entries are needed:

              net autodiscovery
              net [IP ADDRESS] [DEVICE-ID]
              usb
              usb [VENDOR-ID] [DEVICE-ID]

FILES

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

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

       /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-magicolor.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_MAGICOLOR
              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_MAGICOLOR=127

              To  obtain  debug  messages  from  the  backend, set this environment variable before calling your
              favorite frontend (e.g.  xscanimage(1)).

              Example: SANE_DEBUG_MAGICOLOR=65 xscanimage

KNOWN BUGS AND RESTRICTIONS

       Large color scans may sometimes timeout due to unknown reasons (the scanner simply stops returning data).

       Cancelling large scans may lock up the scanner.
