39.Dt USCANNER 4
40.Os
41.Sh NAME
42.Nm uscanner
43.Nd minimal USB support for scanners
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Cd "uscanner* at uhub? port ? configuration ?"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49driver provides minimal support for
50.Tn USB
51scanners.
52The driver recognizes a number of
53.Tn USB
54scanners, but to
55actually scan anything there needs to be software that knows
56about the particular scanner.
57The SANE package provides support for some scanners.
58.Sh HARDWARE
59The
60.Nm
61driver works with the following scanners:
62.Ss Epson
63.Bl -tag -width Microtek -offset indent -compact
64.It GT-7000
65.It Perfection 610U
66.It Perfection 636U
67.It Perfection 1200U
68.It Perfection 1200U Photo
69.El
70.Ss HP
71.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
72.It ScanJet 4100C
73.It ScanJet 5200C
74.It ScanJet 5300C
75.It ScanJet 6300C
76.El
77.Ss Microtek
78.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
79.It ScanMaker X6USB
80.El
81.Pp
82Many other scanners are recognized, but there is no software support
83for them yet.

90.Sh HISTORY
91The
92.Nm
93driver appeared in
94.Nx 1.6 .
95.Ox
96support was first added in
97.Ox 2.9 .
98.Sh BUGS
99This driver should not really exist.
100The scanners it recognizes can be accessed through the
101.Xr ugen 4
102driver instead.
103A proper scanner driver would provide a uniform interface to scanners
104instead of exposing the innards of the scanner.
105The reason the driver exists is to have something that is compatible
106with the Linux driver.
