SANE: Backends (Drivers)


The following table summarizes the backends/drivers distributed with sane-backends-1.0.13, and the hardware or software they support.

This is only a summary! Please consult the manpages and the author-supplied webpages for more detailed (and usually important) information concerning each backend.

If you have new information or corrections, please file a bug report with as many details as possible. Also please tell us if your scanner isn't mentioned in this list at all.

For an explanation of the tables, see the legend.

There are tables for scanners, still cameras, video cameras, APIs, and meta backends.

APIs

Backends: gphoto2, pint, pnm, test, v4l

Backend: gphoto2 (0.0)

Link(s): mailto:peter@fales-lorenz.net
Manual page: sane-gphoto2
Description: Multiple cameras supported by the gphoto2 libraries
Comment: The long-term plan is to support all the cameras supported by the gphoto2 libraries (currently over 140 models). However, at this stage, only a handful of cameras are definitely known to work with SANE. Other cameras will probably work if the native file format is EXIF or JPEG. Testers welcome!

Backend: pint (unmaintained)

Manual page: sane-pint
Description: Scanners with the machine-independent PINT interface
Comment: Haven't been tested for a long time. Handle with care.

Description: Reads PNM files
Comment: Used for debugging frontends. Obsolete, use test backend instead.

Backend: test (1.0-25)

Link(s): http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/test-backend/

Description: Interface to Video For Linux API

  • untested means the device may be supported but couldn't be tested. Be very careful and report success/failure.
  • minimal means that the device is detected and scans at least in one mode. But the quality is bad or important features won't work.
  • basic means it works at least in the most important modes but quality is not perfect.
  • good means the device is usable for day-to-day work. Some rather exotic features may be missing.
  • complete means the backends supports everything the device can do.
