# sane-as6e(5)

SANE backend for using the Artec AS6E parallel port interface scanner.

## NAME

sane-as6e - SANE backend for using the Artec AS6E parallel port interface scanner.

## DESCRIPTION

The **sane-as6e** library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to Artec AS6E flatbed scanner. It requires the **as6edriver** program in order to operate. The **as6edriver** program is not included with the SANE package. It can be found at *http://as6edriver.sourceforge.net*. See the as6edriver documentation for technical information.

The **as6edriver** program must be in the path for executables (**$PATH**). Especially if you run [**saned**(8)](/saned/8.md) (the SANE network scanning daemon), take care to setup the path for [**inetd**(8)](/inetd/8.md) or [**xinetd**(8)](/xinetd/8.md) correctly or place the program in a directory that is in the path.

## FILES

**as6edriver** - driver program that controls the scanner.
