Summary: Free Image Scan Version with epkowa Driver for Epson Scanners
Description:
This version of the Image Scan for Linux software contains only free software. The proprietary binary-only i386-only "libesint*" driver libraries are available in the separate package iscan-proprietary-drivers. The "esfw*.bin" firmware files are available in the separate package iscan-firmware. The proprietary binary-only i386-only "libesmod" library is removed from this package. It is required by the "/usr/bin/iscan" front-end. This package is built without the front-end. This package contains only the epkowa back-end for SANE, which compiles and runs natively even on non-i386 platforms. For documentation, see "man sane-epkowa". Drawbacks: The free version of the epkowa back-end cannot work for those scanners that require proprietary binary-only i386-only libraries, available in the separate package iscan-proprietary-drivers. At the moment, those scanners are the following models: Perfection 1250 / GT-7200U, Perfection 1250 PHOTO, Perfection 1260 / GT-7300U, Perfection 1260 PHOTO, Perfection 2480 PHOTO / GT-F500, Perfection 2580 PHOTO / GT-F550, Perfection 3170 PHOTO / GT-9400UF, Perfection 3490 PHOTO / GT-F520, Perfection 3590 PHOTO / GT-F570, Perfection 4180 PHOTO / GT-F600, Perfection 4490 PHOTO / GT-X750, Perfection V10 / GT-S600, Perfection V100 PHOTO / GT-F650, Perfection V200 PHOTO / GT-F670, Perfection V350 PHOTO / GT-F700, Stylus CX4300, Stylus CX4400, Stylus CX5500, Stylus CX5600, Stylus DX4400. Those models do not work with the free iscan version. They require the original iscan package and the iscan-proprietary-drivers package, which are only available for i386-compatible platforms. Some scanners require proprietary firmware files that are available in the package iscan-firmware. At the moment, those scanners are the following models: Perfection 2480 PHOTO / GT-F500, Perfection 2580 PHOTO / GT-F550, Perfection 3170 PHOTO / GT-9400UF, Perfection 3490 PHOTO / GT-F520, Perfection 3590 PHOTO / GT-F570, Perfection 4180 PHOTO / GT-F600, Perfection 4490 PHOTO / GT-X750, Perfection V10 / GT-S600, Perfection V100 PHOTO / GT-F650, Perfection V200 PHOTO / GT-F670, Perfection V350 PHOTO / GT-F700. The front-end /usr/bin/iscan was removed because it requires the proprietary binary-only i386-only "libesmod" library. This should cause no problem because the back-end epkowa runs now natively even on non-i386 platforms so that all the usual front-ends (like scanimage, xscanimage, xsane, and kooka) can be used even on non-i386 platforms.
