Most scanners are automatically supported by Xubuntu, and should be easy to install and operate. This guide will walk you through how to use your scanner and what to do if Xubuntu cannot find your scanner.
There are three ways to see if you scanner works in Xubuntu:
Kytke kuvanlukija ja kokeile. Jos kuvanlukija on uudempia Universal Serial Bus (USB) -kuvanlukijoita, on todennäköistä että se toimii suoraan.
Check the Ubuntu Scanner Hardware Support wiki page, which is Ubuntu specific.
SANE-projektin luettelo tuetuista kuvanlukijoista. SANE ("Scanner Access Now Easy") -projekti tarjoaa useimmat Ubuntun käyttämistä kuvanlukutaustaohjelmista.
Most of the time, Xubuntu will simply detect your scanner and you just be able to use it. To scan a document, you need to follow these steps:
Aseta luettava asiakirja kuvanlukijaan.
Choose
→ → .Vaihtoehtoisesti myös kuvanlukijan kuvanluku-painikkeen painamisen pitäisi toimia.
On kaksi mahdollista syytä, miksi mainittu viesti voi tulla esille.
Your scanner is not supported in Xubuntu. The most common type of scanners not supported are old parallel port scanners or Lexmark All-in-One printer/scanner/faxes.
Kuvanlukijan ajuri ei lataudu automaattisesti.
On joitain kuvanlukijoita, joilla on vähemmän valmiita ajureita SANE-projektilta. Niitä voi joskus käyttää, mutta kaikki ominaisuudet eivät välttämättä toimi.
Make sure the Universe repository is enabled. The easiest way to do this is through Synaptic. Launch Synaptic by choosing
→ → . Then from the menus select → . Check the box next to Universe if it is not already checked. Click on then click the button to refresh the package listings.Get the drivers by searching Synaptic. Click libsane-extras in the dialog and press Search.
then enterEdit the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
and enable the right driver for your scanner. You can do this by pressing Alt-F2 on your keyboard then typing sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and pressing Run. Look for the lines that say:
# The following backends are not part of the SANE distribution
# but are provided by the libsane-extras Debian package
Below these lines are several commented out lines (they begin with #). Uncomment (delete the #) the right one for your scanner.
Fire up XSane and scan away.

Because of the way hotplugging works in Xubuntu, you may need to plug in the scanner after the computer has booted. If you're having problems seeing the scanner, you might want to try this. |
You can use XSane to control a scanner and acquire images from it. With XSane, you can easily photocopy documents and save, fax or e-mail your scanned images. It can even save your scans as multi-page documents, instead of separate, one-page files. The Xsane website has more information.
To start XSane choose → → .

XSane-ohjelmaa voidaan käyttää myös GIMP-kuvankäsittelyohjelman sisältä; napsauta vain → → lukeaksesi kuvan. |
