NAME

       sane-sm3600 - SANE backend for Microtek scanners with M011 USB chip

DESCRIPTION

       The  sane-sm3600 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides
       access to some Microtek scanners with the Toshiba M011  custom  USB  chip.   This  backend
       should be considered alpha.

       There  are  also  backends  for  Microtek  scanners  with  SCSI  command  set.   Refer  to
       sane-microtek(5) and sane-microtek2(5) for details.

       At present, the following scanners are known positively to work with this backend:

              Vendor     Product id:     Remark:
              --------   --------------  -----------
              Microtek   ScanMaker 3600  all modes ok
              Microtek   ScanMaker 3700  reported to work
              Microtek   ScanMaker 3750  reported to work

       If you own a Microtek scanner with the M011 chip other than the ones listed above, it  may
       or may not work with SANE!

FRONTEND OPTIONS

       This  backend  dynamically enables the options for the frontend, that are supported by the
       scanner in dependence of the scanning-mode and other options. Not  supported  options  are
       disabled.

       The following options are supported by the Microtek2-driver:

       Color, grayscale, halftone and lineart scans.

       contrast, brightness, control, gamma correction.

DEVICE NAMES

       This backend does not support device names in a standardized form.

CONFIGURATION

       This backend does not support a configuration file right now.

FILES

       /usr/lib/arch_triplet/sane/libsane-sm3600.a
              The static library implementing this backend.

       /usr/lib/arch_triplet/sane/libsane-sm3600.so
              The  shared  library  implementing  this  backend  (present on systems that support
              dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT

       SANE_DEBUG_SM3600
              If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this  environment  variable
              controls the debug level for this backend.  E.g., a value of 128 requests all debug
              output to be printed.  Smaller levels reduce verbosity. To see  error  messages  on
              stderr set SANE_DEBUG_SM3600 to 1.

              E.g. just say:
              export SANE_DEBUG_SM3600=5
