README for xsane for win32:
This is a win32 of xsane. It may have some bugs.
This version supports:
- preview scan, preview zoom
- scan and save to pnm, ps and raw file, if compiled in also jpeg, png and tiff
- handling of all backend options
- helpfiles
- copy mode (printing via ghostscript, see section "copy mode")
- gimp-plugin (if compiled in)
It does not support:
- fax mode (no compatible faxsoftware)
Installation:
=============
- unpack the archiv to c:\
that creates the directory c:\Sane with several files
you do not need to copy any files, simply call c:\sane\bin\xsane or
c:\sane\bin\scanimage
- Sane MUST BE installed in c:\sane because the paths are hardcoded.
Xsane will not work correct if you install it at any other place!
- make sure you have a directory c:\temp (or whatever you
define as temporary directory in xsane's setup)
- there are three icons (xsane.ico, xsane-32x32.ico and xsane-48x48.ico)
in c:\sane\bin that you can use if you set a link from xsane.exe to
your desktop, for that use right mouse button and change properties
of the link, change icon and select "c:\sane\bin\xsane-??x??.ico"
Configuration:
==============
edit c:\Sane\etc\sane.d\net.conf
and enter a list of NetBEUI names or of IP-addresses
of machines you want to connect to. On some Windows
system IP-addresses are not accepted; if you experience
any problems try the NetBUI names.
example for net.conf:
myhost1
myhost2.mydomain.com
192.168.0.1
192.169.1.73
you also can start xsane with net:host:backend:device given as command line option:
xsane net:192.168.0.1:umax:/dev/scanner
or
xsane net:myhost:umax:/dev/scanner
Localisation:
=============
You have to set the environment variable LANG to the language
you want to select, for e.g. german this looks like this:
set LANG=de
xsane
It is a good idea to do this in a script that is started at system boot,
e.g. in autoexec.bat
Copy-Mode:
===========
If you want to use copy mode, you need ghostscript for win32.
You can download it e.g. from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
Enter Setup/Copy options:
enter as Command:
c:/gs/gs6.50/bin/gswin32c -sDEVICE=mswinpr2 -dNOPAUSE -
Pay attention: you have to use "/", donīt use "\".
With sDEVICE=mswinpr2 you select the Printer Dialog of Windows.
You also can enter DEVICE-name of your printer (e.g. laserjet).
To get a list of available device names open a dos box,
and call c:\gs\gs6.50\bin\gswin32c -h
Gimp-Plugin:
===========
(Does only work when xsane.exe is compiled as gimp plugin)
If you want to use xsane as gimp plugin,
copy xsane.exe and *.dll to the GIMPīs plug-ins driectory
(e.g. c:\Program Files\GIMP\plug-ins)
Support:
========
There is no special support for xsane for win32.
I develop xsane on a linux machine and will make a binary version
for win32 from time to time.
