22. Scanners

For scanner support there is the package SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy). Information can be found at http://www.mostang.com/sane/. It can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.mostang.com/pub/sane/. This is a universal scanner interface. It comes complete with documentation and several frontends and backends.

More information on handheld scanners can be found at http://www.willamowius.de/scanner.html

Many scanners also have their own, scanner specific, software packages which include drivers.
