the installation. To modify a configured scanner, select it then click Edit.
After the scanner has been determined by either automatic detection or user selection,
installation is carried out. Click Finish to complete the installation. If the installation
is successful, a corresponding message appears. To test your scanner after installation,
insert a document into your scanner and click Other > Test.
Scanner Not Detected
Only supported scanners can be detected automatically. Scanners connected to another
network host cannot be detected. The manual configuration distinguishes three types
of scanners: USB scanners, SCSI scanners, and network scanners.
USB Scanner
After the scanner is selected, YaST attempts to load the USB modules. If your
scanner is very new, the modules may not be loaded automatically. In this case,
continue automatically to a dialog in which to load the USB module manually.
Refer to the YaST help text for more information.
SCSI Scanner
SCSI devices are normally detected. Specify the device, such as /dev/sg0. If
problems arise, refer to the YaST help text. Remember to shut down the system
before connecting or disconnecting a SCSI scanner.
Network Scanner
Enter the IP address or hostname. To configure a network scanner, refer to the
database article Scanning in Linux (http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:SDB).
