sane-dc210(5) SANE Scanner Access Now Easy sane-dc210(5)NAMEsane-dc210 - SANE backend for Kodak DC210 Digital Camera
DESCRIPTION
The sane-dc210 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
backend that provides access to the Kodak DC210 camera. THIS IS
EXTREMELY ALPHA CODE! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
DEVICE NAMES
The current version of the backend only allows one camera to be con‐
nected. The device name is always "0".
CONFIGURATION
The contents of the dc210.conf specify the serial port and baud rate to
use. The baud rate specifies the maximum rate to use while downloading
pictures. (The camera is always initialized using 9600 baud, then
switches to the higher rate). On my 90MHz Pentium, I usually have no
problems downloading at 115200 baud as long as the system is not exces‐
sively busy and the "interrupt-unmask flag" is set in the IDE driver
(hdparm -u1). Supported baud rates are: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and
115200.
The dumpinquiry line causes some information about the camera to be
printed.
cmdrespause specifies how many usec (1,000,000ths of a) between writing
the command and reading the result should be used. 125000 seems to be
the lowest I could go reliably.
breakpause is the time in 1,000,000ths of a usec between sending the
"back to default" break sending commands.
Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. A
sample configuration file is shown below:
port=/dev/ttyS0

cmdrespause=125000
breakpause=1000000
FILES
/system/resources/sane-backends/1.0.18/etc/sane.d/dc210.conf
The backend configuration file (see also description of
SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).
/system/resources/sane-backends/1.0.18/lib/sane/libsane-dc210.a
The static library implementing this backend.
/system/resources/sane-backends/1.0.18/lib/sane/libsane-dc210.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 config‐
uration file is searched in two default directories: first, the
current working directory (".") and then in /sys‐
tem/resources/sane-backends/1.0.18/etc/sane.d. If the value of
the environment variable ends with the directory separator char‐
acter, 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 "/system/resources/sane-back‐
ends/1.0.18/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).
SANE_DEBUG_DC210
If the library was compiled with debugging support enabled, this
environment variable controls the debug level for this backend.
A value of 128 requests maximally copious debug output; smaller
levels reduce verbosity.

Brian J. Murrell
This backend is based somewhat on the dc25 backend included in this
package by Peter Fales.
The manpage was copied from the dc25 backend and somewhat edited by
Henning Meier-Geinitz.
