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
