USCANNER(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual USCANNER(4)NAMEuscanner — minimal USB support for scanners
SYNOPSIS
uscanner* at uhub?
DESCRIPTION
The uscanner driver provides minimal support for USB scanners. The
driver recognizes a number of USB scanners, but to actually scan anything
there needs to be software that knows about the particular scanner. The
SANE package provides support for some scanners.
HARDWARE
The uscanner driver works with the following scanners:
Epson
GT-7000
Perfection 610U
Perfection 636U
Perfection 1200U
Perfection 1200U Photo
Perfection 1260
Perfection 1660
Perfection 2400
HP
ScanJet 4100C
ScanJet 5200C
ScanJet 6300C
Many other scanners are recognized, but there is no software support for
them yet.

HISTORY
The uscanner driver appeared in NetBSD 1.6.
BUGS
This driver should not really exist. The scanners it recognizes can be
accessed through the ugen(4) driver instead. A proper scanner driver
would provide a uniform interface to scanners instead of exposing the
innards of the scanner. The reason the driver exists is to have some‐
thing that is compatible with the Linux driver.
