The following table summarizes the backends/drivers distributed with the old version sane-1.0.2, and the hardware or software they support. When you experience any problems please update to the most recent SANE version before you send any bug reports or ask for help, your problem may be solved in the most recent SANE version.
This is only a summary! Please consult the manpages and the author-supplied webpages for more detailed (and usually important) information concerning each backend. But be aware: the manpage and the author's webpages deal with the most recent backend version!
(For an explanation of the table, see the legend.)

- Backend:
- Name of the backend, with a link to more extensive and detailed information, if it exists.
- Version:
- Version of backend/driver distributed in the lastest SANE release. Newer versions may be available from their home sites. If the version number is in parentheses, the backend is not included in the SANE distribution.
- Status:
- A vague indication of robustness and reliability.
- NEW! means brand-new to the current release of SANE.
- alpha means it must do something, but is not very well tested, probably has bugs, and may even crash your system, etc., etc.
- beta means it works pretty well, and looks stable and functional, but not bullet-proof.
- stable means someone is pulling your leg.
- Supported Devices:
- Which hardware the backend supports.
- Manual Page:
- A link to the man-page on-line, if it exists.
