INTRODUCTION: I have found it very useful to use the scanner on a PSC (Printer-Copier-Scanner) device to make copies of documents and of photographs that I want to preserve in digital files. I used to use HP PSC printers at home, but I switched to using Epson PSC printers. At that time, for scanning, I learned how to install and use the Epson 'iscan' program --- the Linux version --- for use on my Linux desktop computer with an Epson NX430 printer attached. I have described my installation and use of the Epson 'iscan' program on another RefInfo-Computer page of this site. I have tried scanning with an HP PSC printer --- by using the Xsane GUI interface to the SANE (Scanning Access Now Easy) software, on Linux. I am using this page to accumulate notes on using Xsane. My notes follow. Below those notes are some 'external links' to more information on Xsane, SANE, and scanning on Linux.

Voila. (Mira lo.) The GIF file is ready for use. If I ever have more notes to add about Xsane --- its installation or its usage --- I may add them here. |
