1Usage: scanimage [OPTION]...
2
3Start image acquisition on a scanner device and write PNM image data to standard output.
4
5-d, --device-name=DEVICE   use a given scanner device (e.g. hp:/dev/scanner)
6    --format=pnm|tiff      file format of output file
7-i, --icc-profile=PROFILE  include this ICC profile into TIFF file
8-L, --list-devices         show available scanner devices
9-f, --formatted-device-list=FORMAT similar to -L, but the FORMAT of the output
10                           can be specified: %d (device name), %v (vendor),
11                           %m (model), %t (type), and %i (index number)
12-b, --batch[=FORMAT]       working in batch mode, FORMAT is `out%d.pnm' or
13                           `out%d.tif' by default depending on --format
14    --batch-start=#        page number to start naming files with
15    --batch-count=#        how many pages to scan in batch mode
16    --batch-increment=#    increase number in filename by an amount of #
17    --batch-double         increment page number by two for 2sided originals
18                           being scanned in a single sided scanner
19    --batch-prompt         ask for pressing a key before scanning a page
20    --accept-md5-only      only accept authorization requests using md5
21-p, --progress             print progress messages
22-n, --dont-scan            only set options, don't actually scan
23-T, --test                 test backend thoroughly
24-h, --help                 display this help message and exit
25-v, --verbose              give even more status messages
26-B, --buffer-size          change default input buffersize
27-V, --version              print version information

29Options specific to device `hpaio:/usb/officejet_5500_series?serial=MY42QF209H96':
30  Scan mode:
31    --mode Lineart|Grayscale|Color [Color]
32        Selects the scan mode (e.g., lineart, monochrome, or color).
33    --resolution 75..600dpi [75]
34        Sets the resolution of the scanned image.
35  Advanced:
36    --contrast 0..100 [inactive]
37        Controls the contrast of the acquired image.
38    --compression None [None]
39        Selects the scanner compression method for faster scans, possibly at
40        the expense of image quality.
41    --jpeg-compression-factor 0..100 [10]
42        Sets the scanner JPEG compression factor.  Larger numbers mean better
43        compression, and smaller numbers mean better image quality.
44    --batch-scan[=(yes|no)] [no]
45        Guarantees that a "no documents" condition will be returned after the
46        last scanned page, to prevent endless flatbed scans after a batch scan.
47         For some models, option changes in the middle of a batch scan don't
48        take effect until after the last page.
49    --source Auto|Flatbed|ADF [Auto]
50        Selects the desired scan source for models with both flatbed and
51        automatic document feeder (ADF) capabilities.  The "Auto" setting means
52        that the ADF will be used if it's loaded, and the flatbed (if present)
53        will be used otherwise.
54    --duplex[=(yes|no)] [inactive]
55        Enables scanning on both sides of the page for models with
56        duplex-capable document feeders.  For pages printed in "book"-style
57        duplex mode, one side will be scanned upside-down.  This feature is
58        experimental.
59  Geometry:
60    --length-measurement Unknown|Approximate|Padded [Padded]
61        Selects how the scanned image length is measured and reported, which
62        is impossible to know in advance for scrollfed scans.
63    -l 0..215.9mm [0]
64        Top-left x position of scan area.
65    -t 0..381mm [0]
66        Top-left y position of scan area.
67    -x 0..215.9mm [215.9]
68        Width of scan-area.
69    -y 0..381mm [381]
70        Height of scan-area.
