NAME

       sane-tamarack - SANE backend for Tamarack flatbed scanners

DESCRIPTION

       The  sane-tamarack  library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
       backend  that  provides  access  to  the  following  Tamarack   flatbed
       scanners:

              Artiscan 6000C
              Artiscan 8000C
              Artiscan 12000C

DEVICE NAMES

       This backend expects device names of the form:

              special

       Where  special is the path-name for the special device that corresponds
       to a SCSI scanner. The special device  name  must  be  a  generic  SCSI
       device  or  a  symlink to such a device.  The program sane-find-scanner
       helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a  device  name
       could  be  /dev/sga  or  /dev/sge,  for  example.  See sane-scsi(5) for
       details.

FILES

       /etc/sane.d/tamarack.conf
              The  backend  configuration  file  (see  also   description   of
              SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).

       /usr/lib/sane/libsane-tamarack.a
              The static library implementing this backend.

       /usr/lib/sane/libsane-tamarack.so
              The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
              that support dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT

       SANE_CONFIG_DIR
              This environment variable specifies the list of directories that
              may contain the configuration file.  Under UNIX, the directories
              are separated by a colon (‘:’), under OS/2, they  are  separated
              by  a  semi-colon  (‘;’).   If  this  variable  is  not set, the
              configuration file  is  searched  in  two  default  directories:
              first,   the   current  working  directory  (".")  and  then  in
              /etc/sane.d.  If the value of the environment variable ends with
              the  directory separator character, then the default directories
              are searched after the explicitly  specified  directories.   For
              example,  setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result
              in  directories  "tmp/config",  ".",  and  "/etc/sane.d"   being
              searched (in this order).

       SANE_DEBUG_TAMARACK
              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_TAMARACK=4
