Figure 5. Each front end has its own unique benefits and drawbacks. XSane's support for scan quality is based on film media options, such as Agfa, Fuji and Kodak film negatives, which give it added ease of use. As an added bonus it provides a driver straight from Epson that supports commonly available scanners.
VueScan is much faster than the other tools for zooming in on the preview, because it keeps the scan in memory. It was, however, the only one to crash during testing. QuiteInsane has numerous features that are missing from the other front ends.
For example, menubars can be moved, which is a feature this front end inherited from the use of Qt. Other benefits of this tool include a user-modifiable curve graph, similar to The GIMP's Curves tool for adjusting red, green and blue channels; printing directly from the Viewer window with user-configurable scaling; margins; image resolution; and page size options.
However, there are no color-correction presets based on media types, and the available preset scan sizes are in millimeters and non-US standard sizes—no letter or legal options. Despite these few missing features, QuiteInsane has the edge. Whether you are a professional artist or a casual photographer, there are plenty of Linux-based scanning options.
Each front-end user interface offers something different, and back-end drivers are plentiful, with manufacturers such as Epson starting to offer their own versions supporting their specific models. These all combine to put scanning on Linux on par with any desktop.

When you run that tool, you need to append the device name what you want to call it , the model number and the ip address of the scanner. In the example below, we are using the "brsaneconfig2" tool, we calling the scanner " MyScanner ", the model we are installing is the MFCCN and the IP address is Each of these tools supports a different set of scanners, and you need to download the appropriate package for your scanner.
Because it is possible to install many different scanners, you need to run the proper version of the brsaneconfig tool. If your scanner is supported by the brscan3 tool, you will need to run the brsaneconfig3 tool to configure it. See the Ubuntu SANE Troubleshooting guide for specific instructions on troubleshooting these scanners using the symlink and udev rules.
Partners Support Community Ubuntu. In that case, simply installing those drivers may be all you need to do. Enabling a backend Applies to: sane v.
Once your back end is enabled, try the scanner again. If it doesn't work, go on to the next step. Enabling a scanner in the backend configuration file Applies to: sane v. To do that, we need the results of sane-find-scanner. Your scanner should be listed in this file, along with its usb id.
In this example we are checking a scanner that uses the genesys backend. Adding the scanner to the backend configuration file Applies to: sane v. That line should look like this: usb 0x01aa 0x After you have added that line, save and close the file.
Works for node and browser. Cascading configuration. Define a default, overwrite some values on production. No problem! Validation of configuration files made easy via json-schema Developers can overwrite any configuration in case they have special settings on their machine. Uses debug to display the chosen configuration files. All of this with just about lines of code and a few small dependencies. Let's keep stuff simple! Install yarn add sane - config npm install -- save sane - config.
