XSane is a GUI (graphical user interface)
for SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy). It is designed for acquiring images
with scanners (there are other devices like cameras supported by SANE,
but XSane is not designed for that pupose). XSane can be run in four different
modes:
Scan mode
Copy mode
Fax mode
Gimp plugin
There are several options that are
scanner or backend dependant. XSane does not know much about these options,
it only creates Gadgets to give the user the possibilty to take advance
of these options. You find these options in the:
Standard options
window (for general options)
Advanced options
window (for options that should be used by advanced users)
