NAME

   sane-niash - SANE backend for scanners based on the NIASH chipset.

DESCRIPTION

   The sane-niash implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
   provides access to NIASH chipset based scanners. This backend will  try
   to support the following models:

   MANUFACTURER:    MODEL:          USB ID:
   ---------------  ----------------  ---------
   Agfa             Snapscan Touch    06BD-0100 (1)(a)
   Trust            Office Scan 19200 047B-1000 (1)(a)
   Hewlett-Packard  Scanjet 3300c     03F0-0205 (1)(a)(b)
   Hewlett-Packard  Scanjet 3400c     03F0-0405 (2)(b)
   Hewlett-Packard  Scanjet 4300c     03F0-0305 (2)(a)
   Silitek          ScanJet 4300c     047B-1002 (2)(b)

   ASIC: (1) - NIASH00012/00013/00014 / (2) - NIASH00019
   ANALOG FRONT-END: (a) - ESIC ES8100QA / (b) - WM8143-12

CONFIGURATION

   The  niash.conf  file is meant for future configuration options.  Empty
   lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. Currently no
   configuration options exist.

FILES

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

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

CAVEATS

   If you use a
   Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 3400c or
   Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 4300c
   together with Linux kernel  2.6,  kernel  version  2.6.8  or  newer  is
   necessary.

ENVIRONMENT

   SANE_DEBUG_NIASH
          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_NIASH=255
