SANE 1.01 for OS/2 - build 1 ---------------------------- 07 Mar 1999, Yuri Dario SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) ------------------------------ For more info about the SANE Project, please visit http://www.mostang.com/sane You should also check the main site for an updated list of supported scanners. Note that I can't say you if your scanner is supported; check SANE homepage instead. Documentation ------------- To read docs with correct format, you should type more < doc\sane-epson.txt Installation ------------ Add aspirout.sys to your config.sys DEVICE=c:\sane\aspirout.sys and reboot. To run scanimage.exe you need also to download the latest EMX runtime, available on Hobbes or Leo as emxrt.zip; tested with version 0.9c fix4. find-scanner.exe can be used to recognize a scanner on the scsi bus. Then you should edit your xxx.conf file and add the scanner address, a string like b0t4l0. This can be simplified using autodetection: with autodetection you can use a string like scsi EPSON in your xxx.conf file; the autodection will enable the backend that recognize 'EPSON' in the scanner id. To test scanimage, run scanimage --help you should see your scanner following the list of internal devices: List of available devices: pnm:0 pnm:1 If it is not present, check your scsi driver, the aspi driver OS2ASPI.DMD and aspirout.sys; on Warp4 you can use the Hardware Manager to check scanner presence. Then look at your xxx.conf, maybe there is something wrong in the text. Parallel Port ----------------- This release has support for parallel port enabled: actually only the Epson backend makes uses of such support; the Epson GT-300 can be recognized, but scanning can't be completed. Also HP-5100C parallel scanner can be run under OS/2: you need to download the EPST driver from Shuttle Tech. homepage (www.shuttletech.com); follow the instruction for installation. Then the scanner is seen as a scsi HP, so the HP backend can work with it. The Quickcam backend is also included with lpt support, but I can't say how it is working.
