TL;DR

# Manjaro.
sudo pamac install 'sane-airscan' 'skanlite'

Procedure

Install:

  • the sane-airscan package, if the scanner is known to work in driverless mode;
  • the sane package to use old driver-based scanning.

If the scanner is using a USB connection, make sure to also install the ipp-usb package and start/enable the ipp-usb service to allow using IPP protocol over USB connection.

Many modern scanners will immediately work over the network as long as you have sane-airscan installed.

SANE has lots of front ends, a non-exhaustive list of which can be found on the sane project website:

  • Simple Scan: a simplified GUI intended to be easier to use and better integrated into the GNOME desktop than XSane is;
  • Skanlite: a simple image scanning application; it does nothing more than scan and save images, and is based on the KSane backend;
  • [XSane]: a full-featured GTK-based frontend; looks a bit old but provides extended functionalities.

Some OCR software are able to scan images using SANE, like gImageReader, gscan2pdf, Linux-Intelligent-Ocr-Solution, OCRFeeder and Paperwork.
