Introduction to SANE

SANE is short for Scanner Access Now Easy. Scanner access, however, is far from easy, since every vendor has their own protocols. The only known protocol that should bring some unity into this chaos is the TWAIN interface, but this is too imprecise to allow a stable scanning framework. Therefore, SANE comes with its own protocol, and the vendor drivers can't be used.

SANE is split into back ends and front ends. The back ends are drivers for the supported scanners and cameras. The front ends are user interfaces to access the backends.

Dependencies

Optional (BackEnd)

• libjpeg
• libusb

• libgphoto2
• TeTeX

Optional (FrontEnd)

• X Window System
• Gtk2
• GIMP

Non-Multilib

Backend

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc &&
make

Install the package:

make install

Frontend

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Install the package:

make install &&
install -v -m644 doc/sane.png xscanimage-icon-48x48-2.png \
