September 10, 2000 USCANNER 4

### NAME

uscanner - minimal USB support for scanners

### SYNOPSIS

uscanner* at uhub?

### DESCRIPTION

The uscanner driver provides minimal support for USB scanners. The driver recognizes a number of USB scanners, but to actually scan anything there needs to be software that knows about the particular scanner. The SANE package provides support for some scanners.

### HARDWARE

The uscanner driver works with the following scanners:

#### Epson

GT-7000
Perfection 610U
Perfection 636U
Perfection 1200U
Perfection 1200U Photo
Perfection 1260
Perfection 1660
Perfection 2400

#### HP

ScanJet 4100C
ScanJet 5200C
ScanJet 6300C

Many other scanners are recognized, but there is no software support for them yet.

### SEE ALSO

scanimage(1), usb(4), usscanner(4)

### HISTORY

The uscanner driver appeared in NetBSD1.6.

### BUGS

This driver should not really exist. The scanners it recognizes can be accessed through the ugen(4) driver instead. A proper scanner driver would provide a uniform interface to scanners instead of exposing the innards of the scanner. The reason the driver exists is to have something that is compatible with the Linux driver.
