## TL;DR
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# 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][sane frontends]:
|
|
|
|
- [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].
