2.4.11 Scanner<br />

Connect and turn on your scanner then select Hardware → Scanner to configure it.<br />

Most supported scanners are detected automatically. Select the scanner to configure<br />

and click Edit. If your scanner is not listed, click Add to open the manual configuration<br />

dialog. Select the appropriate vendor and model from the list and click Next to proceed<br />

with the installation. To modify a configured scanner, select it then click Edit.<br />

After the scanner has been determined by either automatic detection or user selection,<br />

installation is carried out. Click Finish to complete the installation. If the installation<br />

is successful, a corresponding message appears. To test your scanner after installation,<br />

insert a document into your scanner and click Other → Test.<br />

Scanner Not Detected<br />

Only supported scanners can be detected automatically. Scanners connected to another<br />

network host cannot be detected. The manual configuration distinguishes three types<br />

<strong>of</strong> scanners: USB scanners, SCSI scanners, and network scanners.<br />

USB Scanner<br />

After the scanner is selected, YaST attempts to load the USB modules. If your<br />

scanner is very new, the modules may not be loaded automatically. In this case,<br />

continue automatically to a dialog in which to load the USB module manually.<br />

Refer to the YaST help text for more information.<br />

SCSI Scanner<br />

SCSI devices are normally detected. Specify the device, such as /dev/sg0. If<br />

problems arise, refer to the YaST help text. Remember always to shut down the<br />

system before connecting or disconnecting a SCSI scanner.<br />

Network Scanner<br />

Enter the IP address or the hostname. To configure a network scanner, refer to the<br />

database article Scanning in Linux (http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:SDB).<br />

If your scanner is not detected, the device is probably not supported. However, sometimes<br />

even supported scanners are not detected. If this is the case, proceed with the<br />

manual scanner selection. If you can identify your scanner in the list <strong>of</strong> vendors and<br />

models, select it. If not, select Cancel. Information about scanners that work with Linux<br />
