    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.
