# sane-xerox\_mfp(5)

SANE backend for Xerox Phaser 3200MFP device et al.

## NAME

sane-xerox\_mfp - SANE backend for Xerox Phaser 3200MFP device et al.

## DESCRIPTION

The **sane-xerox\_mfp** library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that provides access to several Samsung-based Samsung, Xerox, and Dell scanners. Please see full list of supported devices at *http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html*.

## CONFIGURATION

- */etc/sane.d/xerox\_mfp.conf*

  USB scanners do not need any configuration.

  For SCX-4500W in network mode you need to specify

**tcp host\_address \[port\]**

The **host\_address** is passed through resolver, thus can be a dotted quad or a name from */etc/hosts* or resolvable through DNS.

## FILES

- */etc/sane.d/xerox\_mfp.conf*

  The backend configuration file. By default all scanner types/models are enabled, you may want to comment out unwanted entries.

- */usr/lib/sane/libsane-xerox\_mfp.a*

  The static library implementing this backend.

- */usr/lib/sane/libsane-xerox\_mfp.so*

  The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that support dynamic loading).

## ENVIRONMENT

- **SANE\_DEBUG\_XEROX\_MFP**

  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\_XEROX\_MFP=4

## LIMITATIONS

Multicast autoconfiguration for LAN scanners is not implemented yet. IPv6 addressing has never been tested.

## BUGS AND SUPPORT

If you have found a bug or need support please follow open-source way of acquiring support via mail-lists *http://www.sane-project.org/mailing-lists.html* or SANE bug tracker *http://www.sane-project.org/bugs.html*.
