| Protocol
Documents for UMAX Parallel and USB Scanners |
Regretably we
are currently unable to provide parallel protocol documentation for the development of
Linux/UNIX drivers, as these have not been prepared by R&D. Unlike the SCSI scanner
design, which has an on-board CPU and firmware to interpret scan commands, the parallel
and USB scanners must be driven by a much more complex "low-level" driver
incorporating all layers from the UI to the electro/mech control codes (effectively the
complete scanner 'firmware').
A suitable protocol document has been requested and will be available here if it is ever
written and released. Update 201099: all email requests will still be forwarded however
we're resorting to a standard reply on this issue to many (abusive) customers! We will
continue to request the docs and do what we can to help the SANE authors. |

| OEM
Information |
As the world's
largest scanner manufacturer UMAX have produced a number of models for other companies
such as Agfa and Linotype CPS, based on UMAX's own-brand and special OEM designs - these
are not directly supported by UMAX's SDKs, although UK contract servicing and support is
available. |
