sane-niash(5)
✨ NAME ✨
okay so bestie, this is sane-niash(5) — the manual page for the sane-niash backend: the SANE backend for scanners based on the NIASH chipset. Lowkey iconic scanner lore, no cap 💖
🌸 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: Agfa — MODEL: Snapscan Touch — USB ID:
06BD-0100(1)(a) - MANUFACTURER: Trust — MODEL: Office Scan 19200 — USB ID:
047B-1000(1)(a) - MANUFACTURER: Hewlett-Packard — MODEL: Scanjet 3300c — USB ID:
03F0-0205(1)(a)(b) - MANUFACTURER: Hewlett-Packard — MODEL: Scanjet 3400c — USB ID:
03F0-0405(2)(b) - MANUFACTURER: Hewlett-Packard — MODEL: Scanjet 4300c — USB ID:
03F0-0305(2)(a) - MANUFACTURER: Silitek — MODEL: ScanJet 4300c — USB ID:
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 — fr fr, that's the whole tea 🫖
🦋 FILES 🦋
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-niash.a— the static library implementing this backend./usr/lib64/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. Not me warning you dramatically, but like… pay attention bestie 😭
🧚 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🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
