Scanning with Kooka and KScan
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Kooka and KScan use the SANE library to attach to the scanner
|
|
hardware. It cannot be avoided by any library that a program sends
|
|
commands to the scanner which can damage it. Especially very cheap
|
|
scanners sometimes do not have a hardware protection against driving
|
|
the bed to far, which can cause terrible noise and damage :-(
|
|
|
|
That is why you should be warned running Kooka or the KDE scanservice
|
|
the first time. Even if there were no reportings that something bad
|
|
happens to any scanner models using Kooka yet, but it can not be
|
|
garanteed.
|
|
|
|
Starting to scan the first time, be sure to sit next to your scanner
|
|
having your hand on the power-off switch. Switch off immediately if
|
|
you hear unexpected noises or if something strange happens.
|
|
|
|
If you find errors, please dont ask the SANE-people without having
|
|
made sure that your error is _really_ a SANE error. Most probably, you
|
|
found an KScan or Kooka-Error, which should be reported at
|
|
