🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so, bestie, this is sane-sm3600(5) — the manual page for the SANE Scanner Access Now Easy backend for Microtek scanners with the M011 USB chip. 💅 This is where the M011 girlies live, and we're gonna get you comfy with it.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The sane-sm3600 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that gives you access to some Microtek scanners with the Toshiba M011 custom USB chip. Real talk: this backend should be considered alpha — like, it's giving early-days energy, okay? 🫶

There are also backends for Microtek scanners with the SCSI command set. For those details, go read sane-microtek(5) and sane-microtek2(5). ✨

At present, the following scanners are known positively to work with this backend:

  • Vendor: Microtek — Product id: ScanMaker 3600 — Remark: all modes ok
  • Vendor: Microtek — Product id: ScanMaker 3700 — Remark: reported to work
  • Vendor: Microtek — Product id: ScanMaker 3750 — Remark: reported to work
🫠 If you own a Microtek scanner with the M011 chip other than the ones listed above, it may or may not work with SANE! No cap, that's the whole vibe check.

✨ FRONTEND OPTIONS ✨

This backend dynamically enables the options for the frontend, that are supported by the scanner dependent on the scanning-mode and other options. Unsupported options are disabled. So yeah, the options are literally doing a vibe check based on your scanning-mode and other choices — the ones that don't fit get turned off. 💅

The following options are supported by the sane-sm3600 backend: Color, grayscale, halftone and lineart scans. Also contrast, brightness, and gamma correction. 🎀

🦋 DEVICE NAMES 🦋

This backend does not support device names in a standardized form. Sorry bestie, no standardized device-name moment here. 🫠

🌸 CONFIGURATION 🌸

This backend does not support a configuration file right now. Not me looking for a config file and finding none — that's the whole story for now. 💀

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sm3600.a — the static library implementing this backend. 🫶
  • /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sm3600.so — the shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading). ✨

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

  • SANE_DEBUG_SM3600 — if the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g., a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller levels reduce verbosity. To see error messages on stderr, set SANE_DEBUG_SM3600 to 1.

E.g. just say:

export SANE_DEBUG_SM3600=5
