On my debian system, I need to run the following command. To be able to scan images from a Linux PC some steps need to be taken. The second command checks if your backend works with the scannerĭevice `plustek:libusb:001:002' is a Canon N670U/N676U/LiDE20 USB flatbed scannerĪll done, we can now configure our PC to use the scanner via the network. The first one checks for any scanner attached to the USB ports of the FOX.įound USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x220d, chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:001:002 # scp libsane-plustek.so.1 you have done all this, you can test if the setup is working.

This archive contains all the backends.Īs I have a plustek based scanner i need to copy the file libsane-plustek.so.1 to the FOX. The backend files have the format libsane. According to the list i need to use the plustek backend. To find out, which backend provider you need, check this list. The file needs to be placed in the folder /mnt/flash/sane-libs/. # allow access to PCs with the IPs between 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.255įinally, you need to copy the backend provider file to the fox, that matches your scanner device. # allow access to the PC with the IP 192.168.0.1 The following will show lines that are valid choices: To do this you need to edit the file /etc/nf. The correct content for a FOX with the IP 192.168.0.90 would look like thisĪfter you have done this, you need to set which IPs are allowed to connect to the sane daemon program running on your Fox. This is done by adding an entry in the file /etc/hosts. After that your host PC needs to have sane installed (Linux only) and then you need to install an application to do the actual scanningįirstly we can match IP and hostname in the Fox to let sane know its own IP. There are certain steps that need to be taken to make sane work. You will have to manually copy the files specific to your scanner to the FOX. As the whole application would take several MB, only the basics parts are installed. SANE is part of the new SDK Install the SDK on Linux(Phrozen Patch Beta2). You can find a list of all the supported devices here. The project is very mature and supports about 1270 different scanner devices, some work better than others. SANE - Scanner Access Now Easy for the Fox SANE is a tool that is used on Linux to allow scanning of images.
