sane-lexmark(5)		 SANE Scanner Access Now Easy	       sane-lexmark(5)

NAME
       sane-lexmark - SANE backend for Lexmark X1100/X1200 Series scanners

DESCRIPTION
       The  sane-lexmark  library  implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
       backend that provides access to the scanner part of Lexmark X1100/X1200
       AIOs. This backend should be considered beta-quality software!

       The scanners that should work with this backend are:

		 Vendor Model		status
	      ----------------------  -----------
		Lexmark X74		good
		Lexmark X1110		untested
		Lexmark X1140		untested
		Lexmark X1150		good
		Lexmark X1170		good
		Lexmark X1180		good
		Lexmark X1185		complete
		Lexmark X12xx		good in USB1.1,
			       not fully tested in USB2.0
		Dell	A920		good

       The options the backend supports can either be selected through command
       line options to programs like scanimage	or  through  GUI  elements  in
       xscanimage or xsane.

       If  you	have  any strange behavior, please report to the backend main‐
       tainer or to the SANE mailing list.

       Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using
	      scanimage --help -d lexmark:usb:<usb port>

       Scan Mode Options

       --mode selects the basic mode of operation of the scanner valid choices
	      are  Color, Gray and Lineart The default mode is Color. The Lin‐
	      eart mode is black and white only (1 bit).  Grayscale will  pro‐
	      duce  256 levels of gray (8 bits). Color mode allows for over 16
	      million different colors produced from 24 bits of color informa‐
	      tion.

       --resolution
	      selects  the  resolution for a scan. The horizontal and vertical
	      resolutions are set by the value of this option. The scanner  is
	      capable  of  the	following resolutions for the specified option
	      value:

		Value	Hor. Resolution	 Vert. Resolution
		-----	---------------	 -------------------
		75	75dpi		 75dpi
		150	150dpi		 150dpi
		300	300dpi		 300dpi
		600	600dpi		 600dpi
		1200	600dpi		 1200dpi  (only for X11xx models with 'B2' sensor)

       --preview
	      requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 75
	      dpi and the scan area and the scan mode are as specified through
	      their options, or the default  if	 not  specified.  The  default
	      value for preview mode is "no".

       --threshold
	      selects  the   minimum-brightness	 to  get  a  white  point. The
	      threshold is only used with Lineart mode scans.  It is specified
	      as  a  percentage	 in  the  range	 0..100% (in steps of 1).  The
	      default value of the threshold option is 50.

CONFIGURATION FILE
       The configuration file /etc/sane.d/lexmark.conf contains only  the  usb
       device id (eg usb 0x043d 0x007c).

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

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

ENVIRONMENT
       SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK
	      SANE_DEBUG_LEXMARK_LOW If the library was	 compiled  with	 debug
	      support  enabled,	 this  environment variable controls the debug
	      level for this backend. E.g., a value of 255 requests all	 debug
	      output to be printed. Smaller levels reduce verbosity.

LIMITATIONS
       The  windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE backend.
       However they are only software adjustments. This	 backend  only	imple‐
       ments  what  the	 scanner can support. For instance, shading correction
       (vertical stripes due to sensor variation across its width) is done  in
       software.  Head	park  position is also detected by software.  The data
       compression isn't supported for the X1200 serie on USB 1.1, leading  to
       slow scans.

BUGS
       No bugs currently known.
