NAME

       qscan - console tool for quality measurement of optical media

SYNOPSIS

       qscan [-l] [-h]
       qscan -d DEVICE [-S] [-i] [-m]
       qscan -d DEVICE [-p] [-r] [-w] [-v]
       qscan -d DEVICE [-f] [-s] [-t] [-v]
       qscan -d DEVICE -t wt [-s #] [-W]

DESCRIPTION

       qscan is the linux console tool for error correction measuring with optical devices.  The related plugin allows to use vendor specific com-
       mands on your optical device.  Currently supported vendors are Asus, Benq, Liteon, NEC, Pioneer and Plextor.  For detailed information look
       at http://qpxtool.sourceforge.net/supported.html

DEVICE

       can be an IDE, SCSI, SATA, USB or FireWire connected optical drive. Not all SATA controller support all Plextor features.

       Linux:
       /dev/hdX: IDE device
       /dev/scdX: Linux 2.4: SATA, SCSI, USB device, or IDE device via ide-scsi emulation
       /dev/srX: Linux 2.6: IDE device via new ATA layer, SCSI or USB device

       OpenBSD/NetBSD:
       /dev/rcdX

       FreeBSD:

       -v, --verbose
		 gives verbose output and debug information

       -W, --write
		 perform real write instead simulation for write transfer rate

EXAMPLES

       qscan -l
		 scan all buses for availabale optical devices

       qscan -d /dev/sr2 -S
		 Show available speed steps of device /dev/sr2.

       qscan -d /dev/sr2 -t errc -s 5
		 Proceed an error correction scan on device /dev/sr2 with 5x speed.

       qscan -d /dev/sr0 -t wt -s 12
		 Proceed a write performance test in simulation mode on device /dev/sr0 (dummy mode) with 12x speed

NAME

       sane-find-scanner - find SCSI and USB scanners and their device files

SYNOPSIS

       sane-find-scanner [-h|-?]  [-v] [-q] [-f] [devname]

DESCRIPTION

       sane-find-scanner  is  a command-line tool to find SCSI and some USB scanners and determine their Unix device files. It's part of the sane-
       backends package.

       For SCSI scanners, it checks the default generic SCSI device files (e.g., /dev/sg0) and /dev/scanner. The test is done by  sending  a  SCSI
       inquiry	command  and  looking for a device type of "scanner" or "processor" (some old HP scanners seem to send "processor"). So sane-find-
       scanner will find any SCSI scanner connected to those default device files even if it isn't supported by any SANE backend.

       For USB scanners, first the USB kernel scanner device files (e.g. /dev/usb/scanner0), /dev/usb/scanner, and /dev/usbscanner are tested. The
       files  are  opened  and	the vendor and device ids are determined if the operating system supports this feature. Currently USB scanners are
       only found this way if they are supported by the Linux scanner module or the FreeBSD or OpenBSD uscanner driver.  After	that  test,  sane-
       find-scanner  tries  to scan for USB devices found by the USB library libusb (if available). There is no special USB class for scanners, so
       the heuristics used to distinguish scanners from other USB devices is not perfect. sane-find-scanner will even find USB scanners, that  are
       not supported by any SANE backend.

       sane-find-scanner won't find parallel port scanners, or scanners connected to proprietary ports.

OPTIONS

       -h, -?  Prints a short usage message.

       -v      Verbose	output. If used once, sane-find-scanner shows every device name and the test result.  If used twice, SCSI inquiry informa-
	       tion and the USB device descriptors are also printed.

       -q      Be quiet. Print only the devices, no comments.

       -f      Force opening all explicitely given devices as SCSI and USB devices. That's useful if sane-find-scanner is wrong in  determing  the
	       device type.

       devname Test device file "devname". No other devices are checked if devname is given.

EXAMPLE

       sane-find-scanner -v
       Check all SCSI and USB devices for available scanners and print a line for every device file.

       sane-find-scanner /dev/scanner
       Look for a (SCSI) scanner only at /dev/scanner and print the result.

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

       USB support is limited to Linux (kernel, libusb), FreeBSD (kernel, libusb), NetBSD (libusb), OpenBSD (kernel, libusb). Detecting the vendor
       and device ids only works with Linux or libusb.

       SCSI support is available on Irix, EMX, Linux, Next, AIX, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and HP-UX.

BUGS

       No support for parallel port scanners yet.
