SANE: Devices Supported by External Backends
The following table summarizes the devices that are supported by external backends.
This is only a summary!
Please consult the manpages and the author-supplied webpages
for more detailed (and usually important) information
concerning each backend.
If you have new information or corrections, please file a
bug report
with as many details as possible. Also please tell us if your scanner
isn't mentioned in this list at all.
For an explanation of the tables, see the
legend.
There are tables for scanners,
still cameras,
video cameras,
APIs, and
meta backends.

Backends:
v4l2
Link(s):
http://video.inodes.org/sane-v4l2/
Comment: The status of this backend is unknown. It hasn't been updated for years. The v4l2 API is now in Linux 2.5 but it's not clear if the v4l2 backend is compatible to that API.
Description: Interface to Video For Linux 2 API
Backends:
(none)
- Model:
- Name of the the device.
- Interface:
- How the device is connected to the computer.
- Status:
- Indicates how many of the features the device provides
are supported by SANE.
- unsupported means the device is not supported at least by this backend. It may be supported by other backends, however.
- untested means the device may be supported but couldn't be tested. Be very careful and report success/failure.
- minimal means that the
device is detected and scans at least in one mode. But the quality
is bad or important features won't work.
- basic means it works at
least in the most important modes but quality is not perfect.
- good means the device is usable
for day-to-day work. Some rather exotic features may be missing.
- complete means the backends
supports everything the device can do.
- Comment:
- More information about the backend or model, e.g. the level of support and possible problems.
- Backend:
- Name of the backend, in parentheses if available:
Version of backend/driver; newer versions may be
available from their home sites.
NEW! means brand-new to the
current release of SANE.
UNMAINTAINED means that nobody maintains that backend. Expect no
new features or newly supported devices. You are welcome to take over
maintainership.
- Manual Page:
- A link to the man-page online, if it exists.
- Manufacturer:
- Manufacturer, vendor or brand name of the device.
- Description:
- The scope of application of the backend.
