✨ sane-xerox_mfp ✨

okay bestie, so this is sane-xerox_mfp(5) — a section 5 manual page, and honestly? it's giving "your scanner finally works and we're all thriving" 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

sane-xerox_mfp — the SANE backend for the Xerox Phaser 3200MFP device et al. (yes, "et al." — there's a whole squad 👑)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The sane-xerox_mfp library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that gives you access to several Samsung-based Samsung, Xerox, and Dell scanners. literally the whole family reunion 🫶

The full list of supported devices lives at http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html — go check it, no cap.

🦋 CONFIGURATION 🦋

  • /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf — the config file.
    • USB scanners do not need any configuration. like at all. plug in and vibe 💅
    • For SCX-4500W in network mode you need to specify:
tcp host_address [port]

The host_address is passed through resolver, so it can be a dotted quad, or a name from /etc/hosts, or something resolvable through DNS. all roads lead to the scanner ✨

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf — The backend configuration file. By default all scanner types/models are enabled, and you may want to comment out unwanted entries (yes bestie, you're allowed to be picky).
  • /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-xerox_mfp.a — The static library implementing this backend.
  • /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-xerox_mfp.so — The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading).

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • SANE_DEBUG_XEROX_MFP — 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. louder = more lore 🔥

Example: export SANE_DEBUG_XEROX_MFP=4

💀 LIMITATIONS 💀

Multicast autoconfiguration for LAN scanners is not implemented yet 😭. And IPv6 addressing has never been tested — like, not once, no cap. proceed accordingly.
