Image Scan! for Linux ===================== Copyright (C) 2019 SEIKO EPSON Corporation ABSTRACT -------- Image Scan! is a graphical scanner utility for people that do not need all the bells and whistles provided by several of the other utilities out there (xsane, QuiteInsane, Kooka). At the moment it only supports SEIKO EPSON devices. However, the device driver it provides can be used by any other SANE standard compliant scanner utility. Note that several scanners require a non-free plugin before they can be used with this software. Using a scanner directly through a network interface also requires a non-free plugin. LICENSING --------- This software is primarily covered by the terms of the GNU General Public License (version 2 or later) with exceptions that allow for the use of several non-free plugins. The graphical user interface, iscan, carries an exception to allow linking with the non-free 'esmod' library. Copies of that library are included in the 'non-free/' directory and covered by the terms of the EPSON END USER SOFTWARE LICENSE. The device driver (backend) carries a similar exception to provide for the use of plugins. Such plugins are packaged and distributed independently from this software and are only required for certain models and/or hardware options. A verbatim copy of the GNU General Public License can be found in the file 'COPYING'. A verbatim copy of the EPSON End User Software License can be found in the file 'non-free/COPYING.EPSON.en.txt'. NEWS ==== For the latest user visible changes, please refer to the 'NEWS' file. INSTALLATION ============ REQUIREMENTS ------------ The device information files provided by iscan-data must be installed prior to the installion of Image Scan! for Linux. These files are necessary for Image Scan! for Linux to function properly and may be downloaded via: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX BINARY PACKAGES --------------- For help on installation of Debian and RPM binary packages refer to your distribution's documentation. In most graphical environments just double clicking does the right thing. If that does not work for you, you can always install from a command line with the least common denominator tools as follows: For Debian packages: # dpkg --install iscan_$version-$release_$architecture.deb For RPM packages: # rpm --upgrade iscan-$version-$release.$architecture.rpm Both commands require root user privileges and assume that package dependencies have been taken care of already. BUILDING/INSTALLING FROM SOURCE ------------------------------- Generic installation notes can be found in the 'INSTALL' file. See the `./configure --help` output for details on additional options. When using the `--prefix` option with configure, make sure you do the same when configuring `iscan-data`, otherwise the device information files necessary for the proper functioning of the software will not be found. After you have installed the software, you may need to arrange for your device to be recognised automatically by the operating system and give read/write permissions to the appropriate users. Details on how to do this may be found in the SANE documentation: http://sane.alioth.debian.org/docs.html The binary packages take care of this during their installation as much as possible. Users of Debian or RPM based Linux distributions can easily build their own binary packages (if no binaries are available for their distribution already). For Debian based distributions, all you have to do is: $ tar xzf iscan_$version-$release.tar.gz $ cd iscan-$version $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot Alternatively, you should be able to use any other Debian package building utility. There are just too many to document ;-) For RPM packages, you would just: $ rpmbuild -tb iscan_$version-$release.tar.gz The above assumes that you have the privileges needed to build RPMs or configured things to build in a user writable location. NON-FREE PLUGINS ================ Non-free plugins that add support for certain models and/or hardware options can be downloaded via: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/?OSC=LX Plugins required and/or available for your device are listed on the download page for the device. Please be sure to download a version that matches your system. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS =================== We recommend using one of the major Linux distributions with a Linux kernel version of 2.6.3 or later (you can check with `uname -r`) as that is what we normally test with. However, the software should still work with kernel versions as far back as 2.4.8. If you happen to use a pre-2.6.3 kernel version you may want to take a look at the info in the 'KNOWN-PROBLEMS' file. When scanning large originals and/or at large resolutions, the image files can get pretty big, in the order of tens (or even hundreds) of megabytes for each scan. You need enough free disk space to store such large images. Also note that scanning to printer roughly needs twice the disk space needed for the image in order to succeed. The software has been designed so that it does not need to keep the whole image in memory. As a result, 'iscan' can be used on systems with relatively little memory. OPERATION ========= The software can always be started with the 'iscan' command from the command line or your desktop's "command runner" utility. You may also find it in your desktop menu in the "Graphics" section. PRINTING -------- Scanning "directly" to a printer, by default, sends the image data to your system's default printer using the 'lpr' command. You can modify the command used to print via the "Configuration" button. GIMP PLUG-IN ------------ The software can also be used as a GIMP plug-in to acquire images directly from the GIMP. After installation of a binary package, the plug-in is (normally) automatically registered and available from the "File" -> "Acquire" or the "File" -> "Create" menu. The exact menu entries may depend on your language settings and GIMP version. OTHER SANE FRONTENDS -------------------- If you prefer using another SANE frontend, you can use the device driver included with this software by selecting a device with the "epkowa:" substring in its device name. NETWORK SCANNING ---------------- Scanning directly via a device's network interface is supported with the help of the non-free 'iscan-network-nt' package. Once this package has been installed you need to tell the 'epkowa' backend what network devices it should try to access. The details of how you do this can be found in the 'epkowa.conf' file. This file is included in the sources and typically installed as '/etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf'. Notes: 1. 'iscan' does not support setting the IP address of the device itself. Please consult the device manual for instructions on how to do this. 2. The download site only lists the iscan-network-nt module for the devices that are known to work with it. 3. For network scanning via a server connected device please see the user manual.

Установка сканера Epson в Ubuntu 20.04

В данной статье я рассматриваю установку драйверов Epson в ОС Ubuntu 20.04 на примере устройства EPSON PERFECTION V100 PHOTO.
Данный способ подойдёт для многих Epson’ов, включая МФУ.

Для начала скачаем с официального сайта Epson драйверы для нашего устройства:

По окончании загрузки файла переходим в папку » Загрузки», кликаем правой клавишей мыши по файлу -> Извлечь в текущую папку. Далее переходим в директорию с распакованными файлами, запускаем эмулятор терминала (по умолчанию Ctrl+Alt+T) и вводим:

(чтобы не прописывать вручную путь к файлу, можно просто перетащить install.sh в терминал).

После ввода пароля начнётся установка драйверов и программы сканирования .

Для начала работы со сканером необходимо запустить программу » Image Scan! for Linux» из меню приложений.

Кстати, у меня запуск занимает достаточно много времени (намного дольше остальных приложений). Возможно, это связано с особенностями устройств Epson. Если есть возможность, напишите, пожалуйста, в комментариях название устройства и версию Ubuntu, а также скорость запуска данной программы (дольше, чем другие приложения или так же).

Интерфейс программы позволяет выбрать тип документа, разрешение и многие другие параметры сканирования, которые вряд ли пригодятся среднестатистическому пользователю.

В целом программа достаточно простая, но, сожалению, у неё есть несколько значительных минусов:
1. Отсутствие русскоязычного интерфейса.
2. Отсканированный документ можно сохранить только в форматах: PCX, PNM, TIFF, PDF.
3. Нет поддержки многостраничного сканирования.

Преобразовать PCX в привычный формат можно с помощью бесплатной альтернативы Adobe Photoshop — GIMP (да, это неудобно, но лучше, чем ничего).

Вот такая короткая статья получилась сегодня, спасибо что дочитали до конца. Оставляйте комментарии, делитесь мнениями и главное, будьте здоровы!
