SANE Scanner Access Now Easy
  • 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 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/sane/libsane-tamarack.a
      The static library implementing this backend.
      /usr/lib/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.  Under UNIX, 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
