✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, this is the sane-sm3840(5) manual page — iconic — for sane-sm3840: the SANE backend for Microtek scanners with the SCAN08 USB chip. Iykyk 💅.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so the sane-sm3840 library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to some Microtek scanners with the SCAN08 USB chip. It's giving main character energy, and honestly? Obsessed. ✨

There exist backends for Microtek scanners with the SCSI command set — refer to sane-microtek(5) and sane-microtek2(5) for details. There also exists a Microtek 3600 series driver; see sane-sm3600(5) for details. 🦋

At present, the following scanners are known positively to work with this backend — both ate, no cap:

• Vendor: Microtek — Product ID: ScanMaker 3840 — Remark: All modes OK 👑
• Vendor: Microtek — Product ID: ScanMaker 4800 — Remark: All modes OK 👑

If you own a Microtek scanner with the SCAN08 chip other than the ones listed above, it may or may not work with SANE. Feel free to contact the backend author (earle@ziplabel.com) to report results with scanners not on the list. 💌

🎀 FRONTEND OPTIONS 🎀

The following options are supported by the sane-sm3840 driver, slay:

• --mode color|gray|lineart|halftone — Color or grayscale mode.
• --resolution 150|300|600|1200 — Pixels per inch for scans.
• --depth 8|16 — Note that the least significant bits of 16bpp mode may be noise. Lowkey important 🙈.
• --brightness 1..4096 — Higher numbers increase brightness of returned image.
• --contrast 0.1..9.9 — Larger numbers decrease contrast of returned image.
• --lamp-timeout 1..15 — Time in minutes until the lamp is turned off after a scan. 💡

🧚 CONFIGURATION 🧚

This backend does not support a configuration file right now. Not me looking for one — there isn't one, periodt. 🎀

🔥 FILES 🔥

• /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sm3840.a — The static library implementing this backend. Literally the static-library moment 🧚.
• /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-sm3840.so — The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading). Ngl, dynamic-loading systems stay winning 🔥.

💜 ENVIRONMENT 💜

• SANE_DEBUG_SM3840 — 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_SM3840 to 1. Vibe check complete 💜.
