NAME
sane-canon_dr - SANE backend for Canon DR-series scanners
DESCRIPTION
The sane-canon_dr library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy)
backend which provides access to some Canon DR-series scanners.
This document describes backend version 8, slated to ship with SANE
1.1.0.
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
This version has only been tested with the DR-9080C and DR-7580. Please
see http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html for a more
recent list.
This backend may support other Canon scanners. The best way to deter-
mine level of support is to test the scanner directly, or to collect a
trace of the windows driver in action. Please contact the author for
help or with test results.
KNOWN ISSUES
This backend was entirely reverse engineered from usb traces of the
proprietary driver. Various advanced features of the machines may not
be enabled. No small machines or flatbed models have been tested. Their
protocol is unknown.
