NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     uscanner - minimal USB support for scanners

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     uscanner* at uhub? port ? configuration ?

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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    [Toc]    [Back]

     The uscanner driver works with the following scanners:

HISTORY    [Toc]    [Back]

     The uscanner driver appeared in NetBSD 1.6.  OpenBSD support
was first
     added in OpenBSD 2.9.

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
