       sane-epson - SANE backend for EPSON ScanJet scanners

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The  ssaannee--eeppssoonn  library implements a SANE (Scanner Access
       Now Easy) backend that provides access to Epson SCSI scan-
       ners.   This  backend  should  be considered aallpphhaa--qquuaalliittyy
       software!  The  current  backend  is  known  to  work  for
       GT-5000,  GT-5500,  and GR-8500 scanners.  For other scan-
       ners, it may  or  may  not  work.   Please  send  mail  to
       sane-devel@mostang.com  to  report  successes or failures.
       The backend has the following are known problems:

              - image depth is  limited  to  8  bits/channel  (24
              bits/pixel)
              - gamma-table is for CRT-B only
              - cancel does not work
              - device name is fixed to /dev/scanner
              - memory leaks

              sent on systems that support dynamic loading).

              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.
