If your scanner is not detected, the device is probably not supported. However, some-
times even supported scanners are not detected. If this is the case, proceed with the
manual scanner selection. If you can identify your scanner in the list of vendors and
models, select it. If not, select Cancel. Information about scanners that work with Linux
is provided at
http://cdb.suse.de/
.org/.
WARNING: Assigning a Scanner Manually
Assign the scanner manually only if you are absolutely sure. An incorrect selec-
tion could damage your hardware.
Troubleshooting
Your scanner may not have been detected for one of the following reasons:
• The scanner is not supported. Check
compatible devices.
• The SCSI controller was not installed correctly.
• There were termination problems with your SCSI port.
• The SCSI cable is too long.
• The scanner has a SCSI light controller that is not supported by Linux.
• The scanner is defective.
WARNING
SCSI scanners should not be connected or disconnected while the system is
running. Shut the system down first.
