The Scanning Protocol of the Konica Minolta bizhub devices

All contents on this page were obtained through observing the communication between the Windows TWAIN drivers (using GIMP) and the device connected on the LAN (using wireshark), plus some documents found on the internet (in particular, the SCL specification for HP scanners, written in 1999). The purpose is solely for documentational purposes, so that I will be able to write a proper SANE backend to support these devices. I do not have any access to any internal documentation of the device or protocol :( I also did not disassemble the windows driver, just looked at the commands sent over the local network.

Devices

The information on this page applies (at least) to the following devices:

Other devices might also use this type of scanning protocol, but I have not had access to them so far.

The different devices have a similar command set, but slight differences.

Device Series
bizhub C203 C353
bizhub 363 423
???? ???

Driver settings

The Windows TWAIN driver has lots of settings, some of which are processed by the scanner (and need to be implemented in the SANE driver, too), some of which are applied by the scanner driver after the data is obtained from the scanner. These don't have to be implemented in SANE.

Setting Proc. by Comment Where to set
Scan mode scanner B/W, Grayscale, Color byte 5-6 of *z27H / *z24G
Preview scan scanner byte 9-10? / 19-20 of *z27H / *z24G
Resolution scanner 100-600 dpi byte 1-2 (x) and 3-4 (y) of *z27H / *z24G
Compression scanner none, JPEG byte 9-10 of *z27H / *z24G
Scan source driver ADF / FBF If paper in ADF (param 20201), use ADF, otherwise use FBF (compare with selected setting!)
ADF duplex scanner check first if present / duplex bytes 11-12 of *z27H / *z24G
ADF duplex binding scanner left/right/top edge byte 17-18 of *z27H / *z24G
Paper size scanner Index (pre-defined paper sizes) byte 23-24 of *z27H / *z24G
Scan area unit driver Scanner always returns whole paper size scan
Rotation scanner 0=no, 1=180, 2=counter-clw., 3=clockwise byte 15 of *z27H / *z24G
Wait for btn drv. sc. Loop until btn pressed. How to cancel? *w0W command

Bg remove scanner advanced: Auto / -6… 2 byte 13-14 of *z27H / *z24G
Decolorize Bg driver? combobox
Paper col. rem. scanner advanced: Auto / -6… 2 byte 25-26 of *z27H
Batch scan? driver Loop while ADF is loaded

Sample captured communication

Device Auto-Detection

SRVLOC / SLP

The Windows driver tries to detect the scanner via SVRLOC (SLP), using either of the two services

  • service:KMRealTWScan0200.KONICAMINOLTA (for real scans)
  • service:KMHDDTWScan0200.KONICAMINOLTA (for retrieving documents from the harddisk of the copier)

A broadcast example can be found here.

Unfortunately, it seems that the scanner is not responding to SLP requests (even though that setting is enabled), so the auto-detection does not work with the Windows TWAIN driver, either.

SNMP Detection

The bizhub device can be detected via SNMP similar to the Magicolor devices. The sysObjectID for bizhub devices starts with

  • 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0 (SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0) = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.18334.1.1.1.2.1.xx.x.x

General communication structure (Packet header, request/response packets)

The network communication uses port 59158 on the scanner/copier.

In contrast to the protocol of the magicolor 1690mf, there is no particular LAN communication wrapper.

Instead, all commands and all responses have a 12-byte header of the form tt 00 00 00 ss ss ss ss xx 00 00 yy, where „tt“ indicates the target („02“ for scanner access, „01“ for box access, i.e. scans saved on the scanner's HDD), „ss ss ss ss“ indicates the whole size of the packet (header+data), „xx“ indicates the type of request (read or write) and „yy“ indicates the direction. After this header, the actual data bytes of the packet follow (typically in Scanner command language (SCL) syntax, see below)

The devices do not automatically return data, but instead only respond to particular read requests (similar to how USB communication between host and device). So, a function call consists of three steps:

  1. Send the function call with possible arguments to the device (xx=01, yy=00)
  2. Send a data request packet to the device (xx=02, yy=00)
  3. Receive data packet from the device (xx=01, yy=80)

A typical function call is:

  02 00 00 00 15 00 00 00   01 00 00 00  1b 2a 73 32 31 30 30 34  45              .*s21004 E    (send *s21004 function call)
  02 00 00 00 10 00 00 00   02 00 00 00  00 01 00 00                                            (request response)
      02 00 00 00 17 00 00 00   01 00 00 80  1b 2a 73 32 31 30 30 34 64 33 56     .*s21004 d3V  (response *s21004 by scanner)

The packet header

general format (12 bytes): 02 00 00 00 ss ss ss ss tt 00 00 dd
    bytes 1-4: Access target 01 00 00 00 for HDD, 02 00 00 00 for real scanner
    bytes 5-8: packet size little endian, #bytes of header+data
    byte 9: packet type 01 for data sending, 02 for data request, 04 for no data available
    bytes 10-11: Unknown always 00 00
    byte 12: direction 00 for sent by computer, 80 for sent by scanner

After the header, the data content of the packet is sent. The amount is specified by bytes 5-8 of the header.

Packet data format for requesting data

If a response to a function call is requested by the scanner, a request with the following form needs to be sent to the scanner, after which a sending data packet is returned by the scanner:

  02 00 00 00 10 00 00 00   02 00 00 00  00 01 00 00
  

The first 12 bytes are the usual packet header, the remaining 4 bytes indicate FIXME:

  • For inquire calls: 00 01 00 00
  • For binary uploads: data size??? FIXME
  • For scan data request: data size?

Packet contents format (SCL)

The protocol is based on HP's Scanner Command Language (SCL). See e.g.

Each function call and each response has the following form (byte-wise, where the spaces between the actual bytes are not part of the communication):

ESC * func ##1 param1 ##2 param2 … ##n Paramn [opional_binary_data]
    byte 1: ESC (0x1b) Escape sequence
    byte 2: * (0x2a) fixed parameterized character
    byte 3: function Values: a-z, indicating the type of operation
    ##i parami Arbitrary number of numeric values and letter parameter (a-z) pairs, indicating particular functions and their arguments
    ##n Paramn Last value/param pair uses the same syntax, only the parameter is uppercase (A-Z) to indicate the end of the command
    [optional_binary_data] Binary data is optionally sent after the end of the command. Its size should be indicated by the value of a w/W parameter

Supported SCL commands

Note: In all examples, the first part is the actual data (hexadecimal, bytes separated by spaces) transferred, a human-readable ASCII representation is shown at the end of the line (only the command, not the 12 byte header), where ESC indicates the escape character 0x1b. A $$ or ## in a function or return value indicates a numeric value, mostly one of the variables listed at the end of this section, or its value.

All device parameters, to which the 363 answers

The BINARY parameter names appear to be a tree. The device starts from the beginning and as soon as a known parameter is found, it is returned, even if the requested parameter is longer. E.g. a request for parameter 25800 (and anything starting with 258) will return the parameter 258, since that is known.

Image format

  1. If JPEG compression is used, the complete JFIF data is sent as the return value of the Esc*w0S command. I.e. the data starts with the JFIF header ff d8 ff e0 00 10 4a 46 49 46 00 01 01 01 00 c8 (ffd8=Start of Image, ffe0=APP0 JFIF tag, 0010=10 bytes of JFIF tag including size, 4a 46 49 46=„JFIF“, 00 01 01 01)
  2. If raw data is used, FIXME
