I have version 2.18 of iscan package.
RPM Installation:
5 rpm -ivh libtool-ltdl-1.5.22-6.1.i386.rpm
6 rpm -ivh libtool-ltdl-devel-1.5.22-6.1.i386.rpm
7 rpm -ivh iscan-2.18.0-2.c2.i386.rpm
8 rpm -ivh iscan-plugin-gt-1500-2.1.1-1.c2.i386.rpm
Please read your email and response to it. At end of email, I have included
the device options that I get using
scanimage --help -d epkowa:interpreter:002:003
command. See that there are a lot of [inactive] options in it,
though same functionality that is marked as inactive in it can
be used using iscan.
This is a virgin installation of RHEL-5, with nothing but this scanner
installed.
No other software or hardware is installed.
Sorry for not including the device-info details in previous mail. I did not
have
access to the scanner at that moment.
Flatbed is usable with imagescan. When i take the device options with
scanimage --help -d epkowa:interpreter:002:003 (see end of message to
see details output of device options)
I get this
Optional equipment:
--source Flatbed|Automatic Document Feeder [inactive]
and
--adf-mode Simplex|Duplex [inactive]
Selects the ADF mode (simplex/duplex)
The source option has (inactive) at end of it. And if I still try to
mentioned the source using
# scanimage --source Automatic Document Feeder
I get error message telling me option is not active.
Meanwhile, I can still successfully use imagescan with flatbed and iscan
with both flatbed and ADF.
here is the detail of
# scanimage --help -d epkowa:interpreter:002:003
Usage: scanimage [OPTION]...
Start image acquisition on a scanner device and write PNM image data to
standard output.
-d, --device-name=DEVICE use a given scanner device (e.g. hp:/dev/scanner)
--format=pnm|tiff file format of output file
-i, --icc-profile=PROFILE include this ICC profile into TIFF file
-L, --list-devices show available scanner devices
-f, --formatted-device-list=FORMAT similar to -L, but the FORMAT of the
output
can be specified: %d (device name), %v (vendor),
%m (model), %t (type), and %i (index number)
-b, --batch[=FORMAT] working in batch mode, FORMAT is `out%d.pnm' or
`out%d.tif' by default depending on --format
--batch-start=# page number to start naming files with
--batch-count=# how many pages to scan in batch mode
--batch-increment=# increase number in filename by an amount of #
--batch-double increment page number by two for 2sided originals
being scanned in a single sided scanner
--batch-prompt ask for pressing a key before scanning a page
--accept-md5-only only accept authorization requests using md5
-p, --progress print progress messages
-n, --dont-scan only set options, don't actually scan
-T, --test test backend thoroughly
-h, --help display this help message and exit
-v, --verbose give even more status messages
-B, --buffer-size change default input buffersize
-V, --version print version information
