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|png|jpeg|pdf 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' `out%d.tif'
`out%d.png' or `out%d.jpg' by default depending on --format
This option is incompatible with --output-file. --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
-o, --output-file=PATH save output to the given file instead of stdout.
This option is incompatible with --batch.
-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
Output format is not set, using pnm as a default.
Options specific to device `genesys:libusb:003:006':
Scan Mode:
--mode Color|Gray [Gray]
Selects the scan mode (e.g., lineart, monochrome, or color).
--source Flatbed [Flatbed]
Selects the scan source (such as a document-feeder).
--preview[=(yes|no)] [no]
Request a preview-quality scan.
--depth 16|8 [8]
Number of bits per sample, typical values are 1 for "line-art" and 8
for multibit scans.
--resolution 4800|2400|1200|600|300|200|150dpi [150]
Sets the resolution of the scanned image.
Geometry:
-l 0..216.07mm [0]
Top-left x position of scan area.
-t 0..299mm [0]
Top-left y position of scan area.
-x 0..216.07mm [216.07]
Width of scan-area.
-y 0..299mm [299]
Height of scan-area.
Enhancement:
--custom-gamma[=(yes|no)] [no] [advanced]
Determines whether a builtin or a custom gamma-table should be used.
--gamma-table 0..65535,... [inactive]
Gamma-correction table. In color mode this option equally affects the
red, green, and blue channels simultaneously (i.e., it is an intensity
gamma table).
--red-gamma-table 0..65535,... [inactive]
Gamma-correction table for the red band.
--green-gamma-table 0..65535,... [inactive]
Gamma-correction table for the green band.
--blue-gamma-table 0..65535,... [inactive]
Gamma-correction table for the blue band.
--brightness -100..100 (in steps of 1) [0]
Controls the brightness of the acquired image.
--contrast -100..100 (in steps of 1) [0]
Controls the contrast of the acquired image.
Extras:
--lamp-off-time 0..60 [15]
The lamp will be turned off after the given time (in minutes). A value
of 0 means, that the lamp won't be turned off.
--lamp-off-scan[=(yes|no)] [no]
The lamp will be turned off during scan.
--color-filter Red|Green|Blue [Green]
When using gray or lineart this option selects the used color.
--calibration-file <string> [] [advanced]
Specify the calibration file to use
--expiration-time -1..30000 (in steps of 1) [60]
Time (in minutes) before a cached calibration expires. A value of 0
means cache is not used. A negative value means cache never expires.
Sensors:
Buttons:
--clear-calibration [advanced]
Clear calibration cache
--force-calibration [advanced]
Force calibration ignoring all and any calibration caches
--ignore-internal-offsets [advanced]
Acquires the image including the internal calibration areas of the
scanner
Type ``scanimage --help -d DEVICE'' to get list of all options for DEVICE.
