This is the homepage of the fujitsu sane backend.

The backend provides access to most fujitsu scanners on whatever platforms
sane supports (Linux, various unixen, os/2, osX, etc).

Sane versions 1.0.17 and before use the 'old' fujitsu backend. the final
version of which (retroactively renumbered 20) is here: fujitsu-1_0_20.tgz

Sane versions 1.0.18 and newer use the 'new' fujitsu backend, previously
available from this page. Download current sane backends cvs to get the latest.

The new backend has support for many more scanners, by dropping most
model-specific initialization code, and querying the scanner instead. This
means that the 'quirks' of an individual scanner may not be accounted for, 
because they are sometimes not reported by the scanner, or the scanner may
not work at all, because it reports nothing!

The most likely issue for more recent scanners will be garbled color scans,
and/or reversed colors in some modes. The backend can repair this data, but
the specific type of repair must be hard-coded. Please contact the author
if your scans look wrong.

Please test the new backend and let me know what you find. If you discover that
some feature you were previously using no longer works, please use the 'old'
backend linked above, and let me know.

Installation of backend:

1. your system will likely not be happy with two copies of sane installed, so
uninstall your existing version first.

2. download the latest sane backends cvs snapshot, and untar it.

------- if you need old backend ------
2a. download the old backend from here, and untar it.
2b. copy the files inside to sane-backends/backends/, overwriting the originals.
--------------------------------------

3. configure, build and install sane. (read the docs with sane)

4. read the sane-fujitsu manpage for the latest info
