sane-sp15c(5)	   SANE Scanner Access Now Easy	    sane-sp15c(5)

NAME
       sane-sp15c  -  SANE  backend  for  Fujitsu ScanPartner 15C
       flatbed scanner

DESCRIPTION
       The sane-sp15c library implements a SANE	 (Scanner  Access
       Now  Easy)  backend  which  provides access to the Fujitsu
       flatbed scanners.  At present, the  following  scanner  is
       known to work with these backend:

	      Vendor:  Model:		Rev:
	      -------- ---------------- -----
	      FCPA     ScanPartner 15C	1.01

       The  ScanPartner	 15C  driver  supports	lineart	 (1-bit),
       halftone (1-bit), grayscale (4-bit and 8-bit),  and  color
       (3 x 8-bit) scanning.

       Other  scanners in these families may work.  The ScanPart-
       ner 15C seems to be a repackaging of the ScanPartner 600C.
       People  are  encouraged to try these driver with the other
       scanners and to contact the author with test results.

CONFIGURATION
       A modest effort has  been  made	to  expose  the	 standard
       options	to the API.  This allows frontends such as xscan-
       image to set scanning region, resolution,  bit-depth  (and
       color), and enable the automatic document feeder.

LIMITATIONS
       Testing limited to a Linux 2.2.5 kernel
       Can't  quite  get  the scan page/minute performance in ADF
       modes.  This may be due to limited system buffer size.

BUGS
       I'm sure there are plenty, and not too well hidden, but	I
       haven't seen them yet.
       Both scanners claim to have separate control of resolution
       in X and Y directions.  I confess I  haven't  tested  this
       yet.   I	 have  found that xsane doesn't even display this
       capability.
       Threshold settings on the SP15C don't seem to  affect  the
       results of lineart mode scans.
       It  might  be  possible to merge these two drivers without
       much effort since the SP15C driver was  derived	from  the
       M3096G  driver.	 They were split so as to keep the second
       driver development from breaking the working first driver.
       Watch this space for changes.
