First major overhaul, did not check that installation works

Line 1: Line 1:

−

==Information==

−

~~Thank you to jaysee (IXUS) for his patience and help to the SANE's configuration~~

−

~~Before installation, go to http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html to see if your scanner is supported.~~

−

~~On sme 7.3 the SANE's version is 1.0.14. (I compiled sane-1.0.17 for sme 7.3. There are many more drivers available. It will soon have a link here.)~~

−

~~{{Incomplete}}~~

−

===Information===

For more information on SANE have a look at the [http://www.sane-project.org/ SANE project website]

−

====Supported scanners====

===Supported scanners===

For a list of supported scanners have a look at [http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html this page].

−

=== Installation===

==Server==

−

To install SANE login to the SME Server shell as root and issue the following command:

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.

−

yum install sane-backends

===Installation===

−

After succesfull ~~installation~~ issue the following commands:

====Installing required packages====

To install SANE and xinetd (required for running it unattended) login to the SME Server shell as root and issue the following command:

yum install sane-backends xinetd

After succesfull of the required packages issue the following commands:

signal-event post-upgrade

signal-event reboot

−

~~----------------------~~

====Testing the installation====

−

==== Finding your scanner ====

=====Finding your scanner=====

After installation and reboot you should be able to find your scanner with the following command:

−

sane-find-scanner

The output should look like this:

Line 42: Line 38:

# can't be detected by this program.

−

==== Determining assigned driver ====

=====Determining assigned driver=====

To see which hardware location is assigned to the scanner issue the following command:

−

scanimage -L

The output should look something like this:

Line 51: Line 47:

device `plustek:libusb:001:002' is a Epson Perfection 1250/Photo USB flatbed scanner

−

~~If a driver is found, you can continue the configuration, otherwise make following order to remove the rpm : sane-backends~~

=====Aquisition=====

−

~~yum remove sane-backends~~

To make a test scan you can issue the following command specifying the driver you determined in [[#Determining assigned driver|Determining assigned driver]].

−

~~=== (First) aquisition ===~~

−

To make a test scan you can issue the following command specifying the driver you determined in [~~SANE~~#Determining assigned driver].

scanimage -d drivername --format tiff -l 0 -t 0 -x 215 -y 297 > outfile.tiff

−

Replace drivername with the driver determined in [~~SANE~~#Determining assigned driver], e.g.:

Replace drivername with the driver determined in [[#Determining assigned driver|Determining assigned driver]], e.g.:

scanimage -d plustek:libusb:001:002 --format tiff -l 0 -t 0 -x 215 -y 297 > outfile.tiff

−

=== ~~you can see~~ the ~~resolution~~ of your scanner with this ~~command ===~~

====Configuring xinetd to run SANE unattended====

After succesfull installation and testing it is time to configure xinetd so SANE will run as a service on your server.

<ol>

<li>Create a group using the server-manager of your SME Server to hold the users that will be allowed to use the scanner application. In this instruction it is assumed that the group will be called saneusers.</li>

<li>One of the first steps we need to do is to add a entry to the internal configuration database to hold the configuration parameters of the saned service daemon with the following commands:

<pre>db configuration set saned service

db configuration setprop saned TCPPort 6566

db configuration setprop saned status enabled</pre>

</li>

<li>Create a custom template fragment by issuing the following commands:

<pre>mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/xinetd.conf/</pre>

<pre>nano /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/xinetd.conf/30sane</pre>

Copy the following section in this file:

<pre>

{

−

~~/usr/bin/scanimage --help | grep -m 1 resolution~~

$OUT = <<HERE;

−

~~For more informations on~~ sane~~-backends possibilities:~~

service sane

{

port = 6566

socket_type = stream

protocol = tcp

user = root

group = saned

wait = no

server = /usr/sbin/saned

}

HERE

}

</pre>

−

~~man~~ sane

Expand the configuration file:

<pre>expand-template /etc/xinetd.conf</pre>

</li>

<li>We also allow all systems on the network to be able to access the service, this is done by adding another template, with the following commands:

<pre>mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts.allow

nano /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts.allow/sane</pre>

Copy the following section into the file:

<pre>

{

$DB->hosts_allow_spec('saned');

}

</pre>

Expand the configuration file:

<pre>expand-template /etc/hosts.allow</pre>

</li>

<li>

Now we need to configure the service using the following commands:

<pre>mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/services/

nano /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/services/saned</pre>

Add the following line to the file:

<pre>sane { ${'saned'}{TCPPort} }/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon</pre>

Expand the configuration file:

<pre>expand-template /etc/xinetd.conf</pre>

</li>

<li>Make a link to allow xinetd to start during the server startup:

<pre>ln -s /etc/init.d/xinetd /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S50xinetd</pre>

</li>

<li>Now we can start the server with the following command:

<pre>/etc/init.d/xinetd restart</pre>

</li>

</ol>

=== Uninstall ===

You can remove SANE from your SME Server with the following command

yum remove sane-backends

<!---

====Determine scanner resolution====

scanimage --help | grep -m 1 resolution

−

~~----------------------~~

=== Adding your scanner to the network ===

saned is the SANE daemon. It gives an access to the image acquisition device available on the local host to remote clients.

Line 155: Line 205:

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.

−

====Testing====

−

~~-----------------------~~

−

===~~First test on network~~===

Start a terminal on your server (with putty for example).

Line 188: Line 235:

Restart ' saned - d128 ' on the terminal and open Scanimage one more time, it should scan!

Lines are displayed on the terminal with putty. (type -d for debug mode)

−

~~-----------------------~~

−

~~===Now automatize the saned startup===~~

−

~~If xinetd is not installed :~~

−

~~yum install xinetd~~

−

~~Updating of /etc/xinetd.conf for sane~~

−

~~Make in /etc/xinetd.conf a block with template-custom~~

−

~~mkdir /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/xinetd.conf/~~

−

~~Create a users group where users are going to use the scanner~~

−

~~I add a group, saned, with server-manager.~~

−

~~nano /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/xinetd.conf/20sane-port~~

−

{

−

~~$OUT = <<HERE;~~

−

~~service sane~~

−

{

−

~~port = 6566~~

−

~~socket_type = stream~~

−

~~protocol = tcp~~

−

~~user = root~~

−

~~group = saned~~

−

~~wait = no~~

−

~~server = /usr/sbin/saned~~

−

}

−

~~HERE~~

−

~~/etc/init.d/xinetd restart~~

−

~~-----------------------~~

The first time, I didn’t succeed to use the scanner on my windows computer when using sanetwain

Line 243: Line 244:

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

−

~~-----------------------~~

===MacOS X===

−

===~~With~~ MacOS X ~~plateform~~===

SANE can also be installed on MacOS X, for more information have a look at

−

http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/.

−

~~There would~~ also be ~~the possibility to use sane.~~

−

~~It has links on the sanetwain site =>~~ http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/

−

~~To test~~...

−

~~I doesn’t have a mac~~

−

~~-----------------------~~

−

~~===With linux platform===~~

If you get things working on MacOS X please provide installation instructions here.

−

~~It’s necessary~~ to install xsane ~~(already installed on my pc)~~.

===Linux===

To use SANE on your linux PC you need to install the xsane package.

−

It’s enough to configure xsane so that it ~~achieves~~ the scanner on the server.

It’s enough to configure xsane so that it knows where to find the server with the scanner attached by adding the line with the IP address of your server to /etc/sane.d/net.conf on your client PC

−

~~nano~~ /etc/sane.d/net.conf ~~(sur le pc~~ client)

−

~~address-ip_server~~

−

You can use xsane or make the acquisition from a software ~~(openoffice, gimp,~~ .~~..)~~

You can use xsane or make the acquisition from other software for instance OpenOffice or GIMP.
