💅 sane-pie(5) — bestie's guide to the PIE / Devcom / AdLib backend

okay so real talk: this is the sane-pie page from the SANE gang (Scanner Access Now Easy, the whole scanner situation), and it's lowkey short but we're gonna make it slay. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

sane-pie — the SANE backend for PIE, Devcom and AdLib SCSI flatbed scanners 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The sane-pie library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that gives you access to PIE, Devcom and AdLib SCSI flatbed scanners. no cap, that's the whole vibe.

At present, these scanners should work with this backend — emphasis on should, bestie, this is a vibe check not a guarantee 🙈:

• Devcom 9636PRO — OK ✅
• Devcom 9636S — Untested 👀
• Devcom 9630S — Untested 👀
• ScanAce 1236S — Untested 👀
• ScanAce 1230S — Untested 👀
• ScanAce II — Untested 👀
• ScanAce III — OK ✅
• ScanAce Plus — Untested 👀
• ScanAce II Plus — Untested 👀
• ScanAce III Plus — Untested 👀
• ScanAce V — Untested 👀
• ScanAce ScanMedia — Untested 👀
• ScanAce ScanMedia II — Untested 👀
• ScanAce 630S — Untested 👀
• ScanAce 636S — Untested 👀
• JetScan 630 — OK ✅
• JetScan 636PRO — Untested 👀

so basically three of them are confirmed main characters and the rest are still in their testing era 💀
