Supported scanners

The list of the Mustek scanners supported (more or less) by the standard SANE version can be found at the SANE website.

The following list shows the known scanners and their level of support (if any) by the current version of the Mustek SCSI and USB backends. Some of the features marked as "supported" are not (or not fully) supported by the standard SANE package, so you have to use the current Mustek USN or SCSI backend (see download section). For an explanation of the tables see the legend. I use the name that is printed on the front of the scanner. Sometimes there is a slightly different name on the back and/or on the packing material (e.g. Mustek Paragon 1200SP versus 12000SP versus MFS-12000SP).

Most reports I get are about Linux. Very little about *BSD and nearly none about other os and platforms. At least the SCSI scanners should work on every Unix-like system but you never know ...

SCSI scanners (Mustek SCSI backend)

Most of the Mustek SCSI scanners are supported by the Mustek SCSI backend. Concerning the SCSI adapters provided by Mustek and other SCSI cards, see the SCSI section of the documentation page. I am interested in information about the scanners that are not supported, see Bug and success reports on the documenation page.

Universial Serial Bus scanners (Mustek USB backend and others)

Some Mustek USB scanners are supported by the Mustek USB backend which was based on the 1200UB backend provided by Mustek.

BearPaw scanners are not supported by my USB backend. However, some of them are supported by the Plustek backend, others by the gt68xx backend (not yet finished). Look at the list for details.

For general information on USB scanners supported by SANE: Jonathan Buzzards universal serial bus (USB) scanners page.

Parallel port scanners

Parallel port scanners are not supported by my backends. However, some of these scanners are supported by the mustek_pp backend which is included in SANE since SANE version 1.0.3. For these scanners, look at Jochen Eisinger's website about Mustek parallel port scanners. For general information on parport scanners supported by SANE, look at Jonathan Buzzards parallel port scanners page.

The scanner Paragon 600 II ED/EP won't be supported by mustek_pp. I thought it may be possible to support it by the Mustek (SCSI) backend because it seems to be a SCSI over parallel port scanner but I don't have enough time to work on this topic.

Other scanners

There are two other scanners from Mustek that I know: the Paragon 600 II N and the Paragon Page Color MSF1200C. The former is supported by the Mustek SCSI backend. The latter is a sheetfed scanner and is not supported. Handheld scanners are not supported but you may find some information at the handheld scanners pages.

Known problems and scanner-specific information

Mustek Paragon MFS-6000CX and Paragon MFS-12000CX (3-pass)

Don't use a file located on a NFS disc in color mode, it will be extremely slow. It may be slow with slow hard discs, too.

Automatic document feeder (ADF) doesn't work for color mode.

SCSI-vendor: MUSTEK; SCSI-model: MFS-06000CX, MSF-06000CZ, MFS-12000CX; scanner-id: (see SCSI-model)

Mustek Paragon MFS-6000SP

Not too much reports for this scanner. If your scanner produces solid black images in color and gray mode, update to at least Mustek backend 1.0-125. As a work-around you can also try setting option custom-gamma (e.g. scanimage --custom-gamma). See Bug and success reports.

SCSI-vendor: MUSTEK; SCSI-model: MSF-06000SP, MFS-06000SP?; scanner-id: (see SCSI-model)

Mustek Paragon MFS-8000SP

Somebody reported lineart mode dropping lines, possibly lineart-fix will help? I couldn't reproduce this here. Version 1.51 is reported to produce solid gray images. Please send more reports. See Bug and success reports.

SCSI-vendor: MUSTEK; SCSI-model: MSF-08000SP (MFS-08000SP for 2.x versions); scanner-id: (see SCSI-model)

Mustek Paragon 12000SP, Paragon 1200SP

Please use a current Mustek backend. Several versions of this scanner seem to be suffering from stripes in color mode in older versions of the Mustek backend. You need at least version 1.0-113 to avoid problems with custom gamma.

There are several problems in connection to the use of an ADF: The 1200SP V 1.00 has problems with color scanning in connection with an ADF. It "says" that it doesn't need linedistance correction but this isn't true. Maybe a firmware bug. Other versions (like V 1.02 and V 1.06) have the following bug: The scanner bar is not in the correct position when scanning sheets from the ADF so all images are gray. Sometimes you can see the extreme left and right parts of the image scanned correctly. This looks like a firmware bug, as the same happens with the Windows driver. The only workaround I know is to turn up the ADF, remove it from the scanner, lay it on the scanner without using the bracket, and move it about 15 mm to the front of the scanner. Try some scans to find the exact position.

The Mustek Paragon 12000 SP III (or 1200 SP III) is different from these Paragon scanners. Despite its name it's a ScanExpress model.

SCSI-vendor: SCANNER; SCSI-model: [empty]; scanner-id: MFS-12000SP, MSF-12000SP?

Mustek Paragon MFC-600S, Paragon 600 II CD, Paragon 600 II SP, ScanMagic 600 II SP

Someone wrote that MUSTEK_FLAG_USE_EIGHTS was needed to get his ScanMagic 600 II SP running but nobody else ever complained so I'm not sure if this is valid with current versions of SANE. Please send a report if you have a ScanMagic scanner(see Bug and success reports).

"Paragon 600 II SP" seems to be the name that was used by Mustek for the MFC-600S (which is printed on the scanner itsself).

SCSI-vendor: SCANNER; SCSI-model: [empty]; scanner-id: MFC-06000CZ

Mustek Paragon MFC-800S, Paragon 800 II SP

The scanner is very slow.

For the MFC-800S there seem to be problems in color mode. If you own such a scanner please write to me (see Bug and success reports)!

SCSI-vendor: SCANNER; SCSI-model: [empty]; scanner-id: MFC-08000CZ

Mustek ScanExpress 6000SP

At 600 dpi in color mode there are colored lines all across the image. This problem doesn't accur with a "real" SCSI adapter. I have one report about slow scanning with version 1.01. Maybe this is because of the Mustek SCSI adapter or its Linux kernel driver. It doesn't occur with my 6000SP 1.01.

SCSI-vendor: SCANNER; SCSI-model: [empty]; scanner-id: " C03 S10IDW"

Mustek ScanExpress 12000SP, Paragon 1200 SP III, ScanMagic 9636S

Several people reported the scanner as to be very slow because of backtracking in color mode with high resolutions in connection to wide scan areas. This doesn't seem to happen with a "real" SCSI adapter, however. Some had horizontal stripes in color and grayscale mode with firmware version 1.01. Maybe this problem occurs with all firmware versions below 2.0. I can reproduce this sometimes with a ScanMagic 9636S v1.01. It only happens in color mode at >600 dpi and width > 10 cm. You may try to use really large buffer sizes (2MB or 4MB) as these stripes occur at the end of a buffer. Also try to put as little load as possible on your computer during the scan. I think this is a bug in the firmware of these scanners. You may also try to increase the scan width as this sometimes leads to better results. Please send a bug report if this occurs (see Bug and success reports).

The ScanMagic 9636S seems to be identical to the ScanExpress 12000SP. So don't be surprised if the backend identifies your ScanMagic as a ScanExpress 12000SP. There is no way to distinguish them in software.

SCSI-vendor: SCANNER; SCSI-model: [empty]; scanner-id: " C06 S12IDW"

Mustek ScanExpress 12000SP Plus and ScanMagic 9636S Plus

Calibration before each scan is now supported but not perfect yet. This may help if your scanner is turned on for a long time and you get vertical stripes.

I don't have reports about the ScanMagic 9636S Plus, but it is probably identical to the ScanExpress 12000SP Plus.

SCSI-vendor: SCANNER; SCSI-model: [empty]; scanner-id: "XC06 S12IDW"

Mustek Paragon 1200 LS

Very few reports about this scanner. It seems to work with the Mustek backend and is handled like a ScanExpress scanner. To use the full legal size the option "legal-size" must be used in mustek.conf after the device name of the scanner. See sane-mustek(5) for details. Please tell me if this works for you (see Bug and success reports).

SCSI-vendor: SCANNER; SCSI-model: [empty]; scanner-id: " C06 S12IDW"

Mustek Paragon 1200 SP Pro and 1200 A3 Pro

These scanners need more testing. Lineart (1 bit), gray (8 bit), fast gray (8 bit) and color (24 bit) are supported. Calibration is supported now but isn't perfect yet. I don't know if it works for the 1200 A3 Pro.

It is neccessary to enable "Quality calibration" for the first scan in any mode. Older versions of the Mustek backend ignored this setting for some modes and so the backend stalled or pure white images were received. Get at least backend 1.0-118 to avoid these problems and enable qualilty calibration (the default).

When doing the first scan (or after doing no scan for some minutes) the scanner pauses for about 30 seconds before scanning. If debug messages are enabled a message will be printed.

With its own 1505 card the whole kernel hangs sometimes. I don't know yet why this happens. Other scanners work with this card.

Support for automatic document feeder (ADF) and transparency adapter (TA) can't be tested due to lack of such equipment. Please contact me if you have an ADF or TA.

SCSI-vendor: SCANNER; SCSI-model: [empty]; scanner-id: "MFS-1200SPPRO" (Paragon 1200 SP Pro)
SCSI-vendor: SCANNER; SCSI-model: [empty]; scanner-id: "MFS-1200A3PRO" (Paragon 1200 A3 Pro)

Mustek ScanExpress A3 SP

This scanner is supported since Mustek backend 1.0-97. In color mode in some resolutions a cyan stripe occurs. I don't know yet the source of this problem. Transparency adapter is supported but only the TAIV (ISO A4 size) because I don't have a bigger one. Please test and send debug reports.

SCSI-vendor: SCANNER; SCSI-model: [empty]; scanner-id: " L03 S12IDW"

Mustek 600 CU, 1200 CU, 1200 CU Plus, 1200 UB, ScanMagic 1200 CU Plus,and Trust Compact Scan USB 19200

These scanners are supported by the Mustek USB ("mustek_usb") backend (see download page). This backend is based on the 1200ub backend from Mustek (see their FTP server). Currently only Linux works without major problems. With FreeBSD, the backend works once and blocks after the first scan most of the time for unknown reasons. OpenSBD shows a similar behaviour. Warning: Despite its similar name, the 1200 UB Plus is not and will not be supported by this backend!

The Mustek USB backend has been included in the official SANE distribution since version 1.0.6. Some hints about USB can be found at the documentation page.

If your scanner isn't detected automatically (only Linux 2.4.8 and later can do this), you must set the scanner device and scanner type in mustek_usb.conf manually. See manual page (sane-mustek_usb) for details.

There are also ScanMagic products that are identical to the Mustek ones: I know the ScanMagic 1200 CU Plus but maybe there are others. However, it's not guaranteed that all ScanMagic products are supported.

The Trust Compact Scan USB 19200 seems to be a relabled Mustek 1200 UB, at least it returns the same vendor and product info. Warning: Despite its similar name, the Trust Flat Scan USB 19200 is not and will not be supported by this backend! It has the same ids as the Mustek 1200 UB Plus. Also be careful with other Trust scanners. The above mentioned scanner is the only one that is known to be supported by this backend. Other Trust scanners probably won't work, even if only one word or number is different in their name. Please contact me, if other Trust scanners do work with this backend.

Vendor: 0x055f; product: 0x0001 (1200 CU), 0x0002 (600 CU), 0x0006 (1200 UB + Trust Compact Scan USB 19200), 0x0008 (1200 CU Plus)

Mustek BearPaw 1200 and 2400

Both scanners are supported by Gerhard Jaeger's plustek backend. SANE supports these scanners since version 1.0.7.

The BearPaw 1200 and 2400 scanners have the NS Merlin (9831/9832) chipset. These are CCD scanners. There is some more information, links and a test program at my lm983x.html webpage. This webpage is no longer updated.

Be careful: only the above mentioned scanners are supported by the Plustek backend, not scanners like the BearPaw 1200TA or any other variant of the name!

Mustek 1200UB Plus, BearPaw 1200 CU, 2400CU, 1200TA, 2400TA (no backend yet)

Sergey Vlasov (vsu@mivlgu.murom.ru) is on the way to write a backend for these scanners. There is no SANE backend for these scanners yet. However, the gt68xx backend will support them in future. If that website is down, here is a temporary mirror of the page and version 0.0.6. All these scanners are completely different from the 1200 UB and also other BearPaw scanners.

Currently (version 0.0.6) there is only a stand-alone scan program, but it's able to scan and has some options. This is ALPHA software. Please read the README.gt68xx for building instructions. You will also need the firmware file for your scanner. It's usually provided by the Windows driver for that scanner. See the individual descriptions for the scanners for details.

Mustek 1200UB Plus and BearPaw 1200 CU: Both scanners are reported to work with the above mentioned test program. However, they don't work with the Linux USB scanner driver because they have only one USB endpoint (bulk in). You will need to patch the Linux kernel driver. A link to the patches is also on the gt68xx backend web page.

The scanner firmware file is needed to run the scanning program. I got it from an installation of the Windows driver (BearPaw 1200 CU). It was located in c:\\windows\system32\drivers\PS1fw.usb. I copied it to gt68xx-0.0.4/backend/ and made a link to it (SBfw.usb). I don't know if it's possible to extract the firmware from the driver CD directly. Please let me know, if you know a way to do this.

There is also a scan program from Mustek. I haven't tested it yet. It comes with source code but doesn't seem to be a SANE backend.

The following information is at least for the BearPaw 1200 CU: There are two chips: a Grandtech GT-6801 "System-On-Chip" and an A3966 motor driver. The sensor (CIS) is the same as that from the 1200 UB.

BearPaw 2400 CU: I don't have any information about the BearPaw 2400 CU. If you have such a scanner, please tell me what chipsets does the BearPaw 2400 CU have and what's its USB vendor/product ids? Does it also have a GT-6801 chip?

BearPaw 1200 TA and 2400 TA: These scanners are reported to work with the above mentioned program. You will also need the firmware file, but I don't have any experiences with these scanners.

These are CCD scanners that include a transparency adapter. They are based on a SOC (system-on-chip) scanner chip from Grandtech: the GT6816 and also have a A3966 motor driver. here is information on the GT6801 and GT6816 chips. This PDF says the chip contains a "RISC controller", but really the instruction set is from the good old Intel MCS-51. The general setup seems to be similar to that of the GT6801 based scanners, the command codes are different, however. Thanks to Sergey Vlasov, who provided most of this information.

There is also an older project: Anthony Sale wrote a Linux kernel module for commucating with the GT-6801 based scanners and a program for scanning a preview. The kernel module also works for the BearPaw 1200 CU. However, the scan program doesn't seem to work for this scanner. The files can be downloaded from his website.

Trust Imagery 1200, 1200 SP, 4800 SP, SCSI Connect 19200, SCSI Connect 19200 Excellence, 19200 excellence series

I have few reports for the Trust scanners, but these seem to work with the Mustek backend. They are relabeled Mustek scanners. They are said to be very slow at high resolutions, especially in color mode. Try to use it with a different SCSI adapter. If you own such a device please email me (see Bug and success reports).

Note that there are lots of scanners made by Trust with "19200" in their name. Only the scanners mentioned avove are supported by the Mustek backend (as far as I know). If your scanner identifies itsself (e.g. by find-scanner) as a "Trust" or "AASHIMA" scanner (not Mustek) it is not supported. For example the 4800SP Plus doesn't work with the Mustek backend.

If your Trust Imagery 1200 only works in lineart and gray mode, try a current snapshot of SANE from the download page or SANE 1.0.7 (or later).

Dmitry Kohmanyuk (dk at farm dot org) had success with a Trust 19200 excellence series, FreeBSD 3.5 and an Adaptec 2940. If you have any questions about this configuration contact him.

These scanner are supported by Frank Zago's Teco3 backend. Either get sane-backends 1.0.9 when it's available or a current CVS snapshot from the download page. I have no experience with these scanners, at least the 2400 SP is reported to work, however. I'm interested in reports.

Primax Compact 4800 SCSI

I have only one report about this scanner. It seems to be a relabeled Mustek 600 II CD (or MFC-600S). If you also own such a device or a different Primax scanner also supported by the Mustek backend please email me (see Bug and success reports).

Mustek 600 II N

This scanner isn't connected to the computer as usual (SCSI, USB or parallel port). It comes with its own ISA card (an ab306N) that supplies the power for the scanner, too. On the software side it looks like a parallel port device. SANE uses its own driver (sanei_ab306.c) to connect to the scanner. There is no kernel driver involved.

To configure the 600 II N, please read the man page (sane-mustek, search for "PARAGON 600 II N") and change mustek.conf. Try using scanimage, xscanimage or xsane. If you have any problems, check the following paragraphs.

In addition to SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK it is possible to set SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_AB306 to see what the hardware driver is doing exactly.

If your scanner isn't found check your mustek.conf. It should contain only the port adress e.g.: 0x3ab, no SCSI devices or /dev/scanner. Just try one address from the list in the man page that isn't occupied by your standard parallel port(s).

The driver must have access to the io card. You must either allow the user to read/write /dev/port (e.g. chmod a+rw /dev/port), run xscanimage/XSane as root or setuid it to root (chmod u+s /where/ever/your/frontend/is). Be careful with the root privileges! You should now at least hear some noise (init) from your scanner and its light should be on. With Linux kernels >= 2.2.11 you need to be root to access /dev/port.

If your color scans are looking crazy (stripes) you should reread the man page concerning the option linedistance-fix. If you have firmware version 1.x, delete option linedistance-fix from mustek.conf and use a current Mustek backend. Look at the images for an example of the effect without the fix and with the new backend. For firmware 2.x option linedistance-fix should be enabled.

If your scanner ever gets stuck (green light flashes, no response from scanner) you can use a program from the tools/ directory: mustek600iin-off.c. Starting this command will shut off your scanner. Otherwise you would have to disconnect the scanner cable to reset it. To compile the code just run make mustek600iin-off in the tools directory of SANE.

Scanning in greyscale or color above about 300 dpi can result in garbage in the image. No solution yet, but I think the transfer from the scanner into the computer's memory is too slow.

Scanners with firmware 1.00 seem to block when the frontend is started the first time. Try to set "option force-wait" in mustek.conf. This will work with Mustek backend 1.0-100 and higher.

If you have FreeBSD, you will need at least SANE 1.0.6.

Paragon Power Pro, Paragon 1200 FS, ScanExpress 1200 FS, ScanMagic 4830S (not supported)

These SCSI scanners are unsupported. If you have documentation or a patch please let me know. I am also interested in a debug output, look at Bug and success reports for details.

Now that the Paragon 1200 A3 Pro and SP Pro are supported, it may be possible to support the Power Pro model as well. If you own such a beast please contact me.

SCSI-vendor: SCANNER; SCSI-model: [EMPTY]; scanner-id: MFS-4800SPPRO

The ScanMagic 4830S is a Relisys (Teco) scanner in reality. It's an Avec VM3575. I think it's totally different from the Mustek scanners so it won't be supported by this backend. There is now a backend for this scanner in early alpha stage.

SCSI-vendor: [empty]; SCSI-model: Flatbed Scanner; scanner-id: TECO VM3575

Mustek 600 USB, 1200USB, 1200USB Plus, 2400 USB (not supported)

The 600 USB, and 1200 USB and 1200 USB Plus seem to be similar to the 1200UB and may be supported sometime in the future by the Mustek USB backend (see above) if I find out how the sensor (CCD) works. At least the scan slider moves with this driver. I have documentation for the 1200 USB and 600 USB. As I have only a 1200 USB, the next goal is to support this scanner. However, currently I don't have enough time for development. If someone is interested to write code, I can provide the docu. But it's quite a lot of work. Some people tried to get the scanners working but I haven't got a success report until now.

Be careful when doing experiments. The slider may bump at the end of the scan area!

Mustek BearPaw 1200F (not supported)

The BearPaw 1200F is a CCD scanner. It has 2 L6219 motor controllers,a Mustek MA1509 chip, a IS41C16100S 2 MB (?) RAM, an Eprom(?), a WM8148 analogue frontend and some more small chips. It's not supported currently and I don't have any information on how to program it.

Mustek Sheetfed Scanner Paragon Page Color (not supported)

This sheetfed scanner comes with its own ISA card that is similar to the one supplied together with the Paragon 600 II N (same chip Mustek GA 1601). It is not supported by the Mustek backend. If someone has this device and wants to write driver ... The FCC-ID is "HWF96PAGECOLOR".
