This article mainly introduces the use of scanimage in linux, has a certain reference value, interested friends can refer to, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, the following let the editor take you to understand it.

Ran into scanimage!

Scanimage is a command line tool in the sane-utils Debian package. I think all Linux scanning tools use the sane ("scanner access now easy") library, so I guess it has similar capabilities to other scanning software. I don't need OCR here, so I'm not going to talk about OCR.

Use scanimage-L to get the name of your scanner

Scanimage-L lists all your scanning equipment.

I couldn't make it work at first, and I was a little frustrated, but it turned out that I connected the scanner to my computer, but it wasn't plugged in.

It will work as soon as it is plugged in. Apparently, our scanner is called fujitsu:ScanSnap S1500R 2314. Hooray!

List your scanner options with-- help

Obviously each scanner has different options (it makes sense! So I run this command to get the options for my scanner

Scanimage-- help-d 'fujitsu:ScanSnap S1500 fujitsu:ScanSnap 2314'

I found that my scanner supports the-- source option (which I can use to enable duplex scanning) and the-- resolution option (I changed it to 150 to reduce file size and make scanning faster).

Scanimage does not support outputting PDF files (but you can write a small script)

The only drawback is that I want a scan file in PDF format, while scanimage doesn't seem to support PDF output.

So I wrote this five-line shell script to scan a bunch of PNG files in a temporary folder and save the results to PDF.

#! / bin/bashset-e DIR= `mktemp-d`cur = $PWDcd $DIRscanimage-b-- format png-d 'fujitsu:ScanSnap S1500 PWDcd 2314'-- source 'ADF Front'-- resolution 150convert * .png $CUR/$1

I run the script like this: scan-single-sided output-file-to-save.pdf

You may need to set different-d and-source for your scanner.
