SANE backend for NEC scanners

Description

The sane-nec library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to NEC SCSI scanners.  This backend should be considered alpha-quality software!  In the current state it is known to work with PC-IN500/4C scanners. Other MultiReader scanner series are not supported. PC-IN 500/4C and MultiReader scanner are only sold in Japan (except Multi Reader PetiScan).

For other scanners, it may or may not work.

The backend has the following known problems:

- ColorLineart mode is not supported.

- Device name is fixed to /dev/scanner

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

Vendor Product id
------ -----------
NEC    PC-IN500/4C

Files

/etc/sane.d/nec.conf

The backend configuration file.

/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-nec.a

The static library implementing this backend.

/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-nec.so

The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading).

Environment

SANE_DEBUG_NEC

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.
