NAME

   sane-kodakaio - SANE backend for Kodak aio printer / scanners

DESCRIPTION

   The  sane-kodakaio  library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
   backend which provides access to Kodak aio printer / scanners, like the
   ESP and Hero series.

   This  document  describes  backend  version  2.4,  which  is  the first
   candidate for incorporation in sane-backends.

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

   This version should support models of the Kodak ESP  and  Hero  series,
   and  possibly  some Advent AiO scanners. The ESP 5250 and Hero 9.1 were
   used to develop the backend, but other models may work. Please see  the
   desc file.

   If  you  have  a model not on that list, or reported as 'untested': the
   best way to determine level of support is to test the scanner directly.

CONFIGURATION FILE

   The configuration file "kodakaio.conf" is used to tell the backend  how
   to  look for scanners, and provide options controlling the operation of
   the backend.  This file is read each time the frontend asks the backend
   for a list of scanners, generally only when the frontend starts.

ENVIRONMENT

   The  backend  uses  a single environment variable, SANE_DEBUG_KODAKAIO,
   which enables debugging output to stderr.

KNOWN ISSUES

   Most hardware options are either  not  supported  or  not  exposed  for
   control  by the user, including: multifeed detection, image compression
   etc.
