NAME
sane-fujitsu - SANE backend for Fujitsu flatbed and ADF scanners
DESCRIPTION
The sane-fujitsu library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
backend which provides access to Fujitsu flatbed and ADF scanners. At
present, the following scanners are known to work with this backend:
Vendor: Model: Rev:
-------- ---------------- -----
FUJITSU M3096Gm 02
FUJITSU M3093GX
FUJITSU M3093GD
FUJITSU M4097
FUJITSU fi-4220C
FUJITSU fi-4340C
FUJITSU M3091DCd BF21
FUJITSU M3092DCd
The driver supports lineart, halftone, grayscale, and color (3091 and
3092) scanning depending on hardware capabiliites.
The "Fujitsu" driver is a first attempt at integrating support for all
Fujitsu scanners - previously available as different single drivers -
in one driver. At present, the M3091DCd is working (lineart, halftone,
8-bit grayscale and 24-bit color, simplex and duplex), and the driver
should also support the M3096 as the M3096g driver code has been incor-
porated. This driver supersedes the old "m3091"/"fujitsu" drivers and
the old "m3096g" driver.
Other scanners in these families may work. The ScanPartner 15C seems
to be a repackaging of the ScanPartner 600C, but I don't know if it
works. Look at the sp15c backend for this scanner. Perusal of the
M3096GX/M3093GX/M3093DG manual suggests the M3096G driver offers access
to a subset of the new scanners. People are encouraged to try these
driver with the other scanners and to contact the author with test
results.
DUPLEX MODE
The M3091 driver supports duplex scanning. To the front-end, a duplex
scan looks very much like scanning two separate pages from the document
feeder, i.e. the SANE front-end receives two images instead of one.
Front-ends which are not capable of dealing with that - e.g. the com-
mand-line tool scanimage - cannot be used for duplex scanning. If you
want to do duplex scans from the command line, get Tom Martone's
scanadf program from http://www.martoneconsulting.com/sane-
scanadf.html.
CONFIGURATION
A modest effort has been made to expose the standard options to the
API. This allows frontends such as xscanimage to set scanning region,
resolution, bit-depth (and color), and enable the automatic document
feeder.
The "Fujitsu" driver supports the following options:
mode m
m may be one of "Color", "Lineart", "Halftone", or "Gray",
dependent on the scanner model. It is advisable to specify this
option first when using command line tools, as the validity of
some of the other options depends on the mode setting.
x, y
Scan width and height
pagewidth, pageheight
Page size; when using the ADF, the driver will assume that a
page of the given width is centered
resolution, y-resolution
Controls scan resolution. Permissible values dependent on model
and scan mode; setting --resolution also sets --y-resolution but
not vice versa. This makes it possible to set the 3091's maximum
resolution of 300x600dpi.
brightness b
Only supported for M3096
treshold t
Only supported for M3096
duplex d
d may be "front", "back", or "both" and denotes which sides of
the page are to be scanned (duplex scanner only for example
3091, 3093Gd).
lampcolor c
c may be "red", "green", "blue", or "default" - the lamp color
to be used when doing graysacale or b/w scans on the M3091.
blueoffset, greenoffset
Color justification options for the M3091; anything other than
+1/-1 will probably distort the image. Should be left alone
unless your scanner is buggy.
swapfile
boolean option for the M3091. Only affects duplex scans. If set,
a swap file will be used for storing the rear side of a document
as it is scanned; otherwise the whole page will be kept in mem-
ory.
You may specify the line "forceModel=xxx" in the configuration file to
make the driver treat your scanner as an "xxx" scanner (currently sup-
ported: 3096, 3091). Use this if you have another scanner that is not
automatically detected as being compatible.
The only other configuration option supported is "scsi-buf-size=xxx",
allowing you to set the SCSI buffer size to something other than the
compiled-in default. Especially with the M3091 scanner, some users had
the problem that the scanner would "hang" mid-page, and this can often
be alleviated by using "scsi-buf-size=32768".

BUGS
I'm sure there are plenty, and not too well hidden, but I haven't seen
them yet. I don't know if the ScanPartner 15C still works, because I'm
not able to test it. 3091/3092 don't support halftone
