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
       dependent on the scanning-mode and other options. Unsupported options are disabled.

       The following options are supported by the sane-sm3600 backend: Color, grayscale,  halftone  and  lineart
       scans.  Also contrast, brightness, and 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/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-sm3600.a
              The static library implementing this backend.

       /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/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
