Below is a recent mail from Michael K. Johnson regarding UMAX support.<br>
The short answer is that SANE currently does not support UMAX scanners<br>
but there is another package that you might want to use in the<br>
meantime.<br>

<i>&gt; -------- ------- ---------------------------------------- -------------</i><br>
<i>&gt; UMAX planned Michael K. Johnson &lt;<a href="mailto:johnsonm@redhat.com">johnsonm@redhat.com</a>&gt; ???</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt;So the answer is: no, SANE does not currently support UMAX scanners.</i><br>
<i>&gt;However, there is standalone package that was written by Michael that</i><br>
<i>&gt;supports UMAX scanners (though I don't know whether it covers your</i><br>
<i>&gt;particular scanner and I'm afraid I don't remember what the name of</i><br>
<i>&gt;the package is; Michael, maybe you can help out?).</i><br>
<p>
I just call it "umax". It's in the LSM.<br>
<a href="ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/ALPHA/scanner/umax">ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/ALPHA/scanner/umax</a>*<br>
<p>
The 0.5 version works on some scanners and includes all the documentation.<br>
The 0.5.x versions work on more scanners and have several improvements,<br>
but haven't been merged back into my source tree (someone else worked on<br>
that branch).<br>
<p>
Eventually, my plan is to make that code work both as the current<br>
standalone umax utility and be linked as a sane backend. But I've got<br>
a few much-higher-priority tasks to complete first.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt;Also, I think</i><br>
<i>&gt;Michael said that UMAX made the programming documentation available in</i><br>
<i>&gt;PDF format so if you're interested in helping with a SANE backend for</i><br>
<i>&gt;UMAX, that should be possible.</i><br>
<p>
If you want to work on this, talk to me and I will explain to you how<br>
to work with the 0.5.x versions to create code that I can merge back in<br>
when I'm able to do so.<br>
