==Information==
==Information==
SANE stands for "Scanner Access Now Easy" and is an application programming interface (API) that provides standardized access to any raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner, hand-held scanner, video- and still-cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.)
{{#smeversion:smeserver-sane}}
For more information on SANE have a look at the [http://www.sane-project.org/ SANE project website]

This is the installation of the server part, you will also need to install drivers on your clients as described in the [[#Client|Client]] section.

===Installation===
===Installation===
====Installing required packages====
==== SME 8.X, 9.X====
Install SANE and required packages
signal-event post-upgrade
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-sane
==== Finish the installation ====
then
expand-template /etc/xinetd.conf
expand-template /etc/services
expand-template /etc/hosts.allow
expand-template /etc/sane.d/saned.conf
service xinetd restart
or if you prefer to restart your server
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
====Testing the installation====
====Testing the installation====
scanimage -d plustek:libusb:001:002 --format tiff -l 0 -t 0 -x 215 -y 297 > outfile.tiff
scanimage -d plustek:libusb:001:002 --format tiff -l 0 -t 0 -x 215 -y 297 > outfile.tiff
=== Uninstall ===
=== Uninstall ===
You can remove SANE from your SME Server with the following command
You can remove SANE from your SME Server with the following command
rpm -e sane-backends sane-backends-libs smeserver-sane
==Client==
===Windows XP and Vista===
http://sanetwain.ozuzo.net/
In download section, take the ZIP file (sanetwain127.zip and Windowsinstaller (setup127.exe)
====Updating of /etc/hosts.allow for sane====
====Configuration====
- index connection
:Hostname => address ip server
:Port => 6566
:Username => user’s name
I made : Get list of devices on startup
- index printer
:I made : Show printer setup dialog before print
:(I have several printers!)
- index Startup
:I made : Acquire preview on program start
:Use as interface language => fr
====Usage====
SANE TWAIN drivers have many possibilities. SANE TWAIN drivers can be used alone or called from another application (photoshop, acrobat, ...) like a classical usb scanner.
====Updating of /etc/services for sane====
===MacOS X===
SANE can also be installed on MacOS X, for more information have a look at
http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/.
If you get things working on MacOS X please provide installation instructions here.
===Linux===
To use SANE on your linux PC you need to install the xsane package.
====Add the IP addresses of the computers which are authorized to use the scanner====
====Configuration====
====Configuration====
Then configure xsane so that it knows where to find the server with the scanner attached, add a line with the IP address of your server to /etc/sane.d/net.conf on your client PC
- index connection
nano -w /etc/sane.d/net.conf
IP_address_of_your_server
====Usage====
You can use kooka or xsane or make the acquisition from other software for instance OpenOffice or GIMP.
===Client Troubleshooting===
{{Incomplete}}
Only needed if your client can't find the scanner
Disable saned
/etc/init.d/xinetd stop
or
config setprop saned status disabled
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/xinetd.conf
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Start a terminal on your server (with putty for example).
Start a terminal on your server.
saned -d128

If you have “waiting for control connection “, all sounds good. Now on your windows computer, open Scanimage (name of gui software for sanetwain)

The scanner should start and lines should appear in the terminal (putty)
The scanner should start and lines should appear in the terminal.
On the first connection, it often takes a long time and a message like this can appear: Time out reading word from socket

I put in comment (# in front of the line) all lines which did not correspond to my driver.

Enable saned when finished
/etc/init.d/xinetd start
or
config setprop saned status enabled
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/xinetd.conf
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
