sane-tamarack - SANE backend for Tamarack flatbed scanners

The sane-tamarack library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to the following Tamarack flatbed scanners:

Artiscan 6000C
Artiscan 8000C
Artiscan 12000C

This backend expects device names of the form:

special

Where special is the path-name for the special device that corresponds to a SCSI scanner. The special device name must be a generic SCSI device or a symlink to such a device. The program sane-find-scanner helps to find out the correct device. Under Linux, such a device name could be /dev/sga or /dev/sge, for example. See sane-scsi(5) for details.

/etc/sane.d/tamarack.conf
The backend configuration file (see also description of SANE_CONFIG_DIR below).
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-tamarack.a
The static library implementing this backend.
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-tamarack.so
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading).

This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may contain the configuration file. Under UNIX, the directories are separated by a colon (`:'), under OS/2, they are separated by a semi-colon (`;'). If this variable is not set, the configuration file is searched in two default directories: first, the current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d. If the value of the environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified directories. For example, setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and "/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).
If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. Higher debug levels increase the verbosity of the output.

Example: export SANE_DEBUG_TAMARACK=4
