Summary | 0000652: Add HP PhotoSmart C309a to Tame scanners | ||||
Description | Was wondering if you could add the HP PhotoSmart C309a printer scanner to the SCANNER.DAT database of TAME? I have attached the device file indicated in the TAME instructions. Scanning works fine from the command line. | ||||
Additional Information | This is using TAME 1.03 with SANE-git 20150117 and hpaio 3.13.3. | ||||

Usage: scanimage [OPTION]... Start image acquisition on a scanner device and write image data to standard output. Parameters are separated by a blank from single-character options (e.g. -d epson) and by a "=" from multi-character options (e.g. --device-name=epson). -d, --device-name=DEVICE use a given scanner device (e.g. hp:/dev/scanner) --format=pnm|tiff file format of output file -i, --icc-profile=PROFILE include this ICC profile into TIFF file -L, --list-devices show available scanner devices -f, --formatted-device-list=FORMAT similar to -L, but the FORMAT of the output can be specified: %d (device name), %v (vendor), %m (model), %t (type), %i (index number), and %n (newline) -b, --batch[=FORMAT] working in batch mode, FORMAT is `out%d.pnm' or `out%d.tif' by default depending on --format --batch-start=# page number to start naming files with --batch-count=# how many pages to scan in batch mode --batch-increment=# increase page number in filename by # --batch-double increment page number by two, same as --batch-increment=2 --batch-print print image filenames to stdout --batch-prompt ask for pressing a key before scanning a page --accept-md5-only only accept authorization requests using md5 -p, --progress print progress messages -n, --dont-scan only set options, don't actually scan -T, --test test backend thoroughly -A, --all-options list all available backend options -h, --help display this help message and exit -v, --verbose give even more status messages -B, --buffer-size=# change input buffer size (in kB, default 32) -V, --version print version information Options specific to device `hpaio:/net/Photosmart_C309a_series?ip=192.168.0.201': Scan mode: --mode Lineart|Gray|Color [Color] Selects the scan mode (e.g., lineart, monochrome, or color). --resolution 75|100|150|200|300|600dpi [75] Sets the resolution of the scanned image. Advanced: --contrast -127..127 [0] Controls the contrast of the acquired image. --brightness -127..127 [0] Controls the brightness of the acquired image. --compression None|JPEG [JPEG] Selects the scanner compression method for faster scans, possibly at the expense of image quality. --jpeg-quality 0..100 [10] Sets the scanner JPEG compression factor. Larger numbers mean better compression, and smaller numbers mean better image quality. --batch-scan[=(yes|no)] [no] Enables continuous scanning with automatic document feeder (ADF). --source Auto|Flatbed|ADF [Auto] Selects the scan source (such as a document-feeder). --duplex[=(yes|no)] [no] Enables scanning on both sides of the page. Geometry: --length-measurement Unknown|Approximate|Padded [Padded] Selects how the scanned image length is measured and reported, which is impossible to know in advance for scrollfed scans. -l 0..215.9mm [0] Top-left x position of scan area. -t 0..381mm [0] Top-left y position of scan area. -x 0..215.9mm [215.9] Width of scan-area. -y 0..381mm [381] Height of scan-area. Type ``scanimage --help -d DEVICE'' to get list of all options for DEVICE. List of available devices: hpaio:/net/Photosmart_C309a_series?ip=192.168.0.201 test:0 test:1 | ||||

Made a mistake, I'm using TAME 1.05. |
|
...maybe... will need to see if I still have the executable to modify scanner.dat I think the .DAT is in INI file format, so worst cas eyou may be able to use something like initor to modify it.... |
|
You're right, the .DAT file is in .ini file format. I can't make head or tail of many of the entries though, they are labelled A, B, C... and are not always in sequence. Some are obvious, but others have lots of binary characters I have no idea what they mean. Is there a guide anywhere? |

I was able to get Tame working with this scanner. I had to create an alias 'C309a' backend by creating a 'dll.aliases' file in the sane.d directory with one line: alias C309a hpaio:/net/Photosmart_C309a_series?ip=192.168.0.201 Then I used 'C309a' as the backend in the 'A' key for my scanner in SCANNER.DAT. Also had to create a blank 'C309a.conf' file in the sane.d directory (or Tame won't start). Was also able to set up all the control parameters for this scanner. |
