Scanner installation

 If your computer is open and your browser is open, you can see your browser between your computer's usb connections.

bash-4.2 $

If you have not installed the Xsane graphics program, you will find your browser will search for it when you open it but it will not open because of a non-driver file.

Open the /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf file where you will need to install the driver file

firmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/your-firmwarefile.bin

Now it comes up where you can find your trailing your-firmwarefile.bin file. First we learn the name of the bin file you need.

To do this, we find the name of your browser and the corresponding bin file from the table shown in the link below. Then you can download from the link you want.

http://snapscan.sourceforge.net/

If you can't find that file there is another way on the internet. The manufacturer has driver cdsi for windows even if it is not for linux.

Install on a virtual windows or a computer with windows installed from the manufacturer's installation CD. Location of the related file

c / windows / system32 / esfw30.b's

or

the /home/lex/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/esfw30.b

It shaped.

Copy the relevant bin file to the location specified in /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf

cp esfw30.bin / usr / share / sane / snapscan /

Now edit /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf

nano /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf

We open the snapscan.conf file with the command. At the end of the line that starts with the firmware, delete the name of your-firmwarefile.bin and write the name of the bin file that we copied.

firmware /usr/share/sane/snapscan/esfw30.bin

Then we look at the product number we found with the command lsusb

Bus 007 Device 015: ID 04b8: 011f Seiko Epson Corp. GT-8400UF [Perfection 1670/1670 PHOTO]

we are writing the snapconf file as follows by removing the colon from the above product numbers.

your printer should appear in the usb scanner section below the line that shows the firmware file as follows.

# Epson Perfection 1670

usb 0x04b8 0x011f

already

# Epson Perfection 1670

usb 0x04b8 0x011f

You do not need to add anything.

Specifying the firmware file in the snapconf file is enough for your browser to run.

What to do if problems occur below

-You may need to type the usb port in the epson2.conf file at /etc/sane.d/.

If there is an error in the -xsane browser program, you can use the following command to delete the settings

rm -rf ~ / .sane / xsane

If there is a problem with permissions, you can choose one of the following commands.

sudo chmod 0666 / dev / bus / usb / 002/007

chmod 0666 / dev / * -R

chmod a + rw / dev / usbdev *

chgrp scanner / dev / usbdev *

If the scanner stops running, you may need to recompile the kernel with the following parameter

CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND = n.
