NAME

       sane-ricoh - SANE backend for Ricoh flatbed scanners

DESCRIPTION

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

              IS50
              IS60

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(1) 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/ricoh.conf
              The backend configuration file (see also description of SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).

       /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-ricoh.a
              The static library implementing this backend.

       /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-ricoh.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.  On *NIX systems, 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_RICOH
              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_RICOH=4
