NAME

   sane-magicolor - SANE backend for KONICA MINOLTA magicolor scanners

DESCRIPTION

   The  sane-magicolor  backend supports KONICA MINOLTA magicolor scanners
   connected via USB or LAN. Currently, only the magicolor  1690MF  device
   is  supported,  no  other  devices  with the same scanning protocol are
   known.

SUPPORTED DEVICES

   The following scanner should work with this backend:

   Device Details
   -----------------------------
   Vendor: KONICA MINOLTA
   Model: magicolor 1690MF

CONFIGURATION

   This section describes the backend's configuration  file  entries.  The
   file is located at:

          /etc/sane.d/magicolor.conf

   For a proper setup, at least one of the following entries are needed:

          net autodiscovery
          net [IP ADDRESS] [DEVICE-ID]
          usb
          usb [VENDOR-ID] [DEVICE-ID]

FILES

   /etc/sane.d/magicolor.conf
          The backend configuration file

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

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

ENVIRONMENT

   SANE_CONFIG_DIR
          This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
          may contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories
          are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they  are  separated
          by  a  semi-colon  (`;').   If  this  variable  is  not set, the
          configuration file  is  searched  in  two  default  directories:
          first,   the   current  working  directory  (".")  and  then  in
          /etc/sane.d.  If the value of the environment variable ends with
          the  directory separator character, then the default directories
          are searched after the explicitly  specified  directories.   For
          example,  setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result
          in  directories  "/tmp/config",  ".",  and  "/etc/sane.d"  being
          searched (in this order).

   SANE_DEBUG_MAGICOLOR
          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_MAGICOLOR=127

          To  obtain debug messages from the backend, set this environment
          variable   before   calling   your   favorite   frontend   (e.g.
          xscanimage).

          Example: SANE_DEBUG_MAGICOLOR=65 xscanimage

KNOWN BUGS AND RESTRICTIONS

   Large  color  scans  may  sometimes timeout due to unknown reasons (the
   scanner simply stops returning data)

   Cancelling large scans may lock up the scanner.
