USCANNER(4) BSD Programmer's Manual USCANNER(4)
uscanner - minimal USB support for scanners
uscanner* at uhub? port ? configuration ?
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.
The uscanner driver works with the following scanners:
GT-7000
Perfection 610U
Perfection 636U
Perfection 1200U
Perfection 1200U Photo
ScanJet 4100C
ScanJet 5200C
ScanJet 5300C
ScanJet 6300C
ScanMaker X6USB
Many other scanners are recognized, but there is no software support for
them yet.

The uscanner driver appeared in NetBSD 1.6. OpenBSD support was first ad-
ded in OpenBSD 2.9.
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 in-
nards of the scanner. The reason the driver exists is to have something
that is compatible with the Linux driver.
