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 />
