Kernel support
There are two methods: With Patch or without.
With Patch
One works on the file /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/scanner.h and supplements
the following line:
-- linux-2.4.19/drivers/usb/scanner.h 2001-12-21 18:41:55.000000000 +0100
+++ linux-2.4.19-epson1260/drivers/usb/scanner.h 2002-09-24
07:38:12.000000000 +0200 @@ -181.6 +181.7 @@ { USB_DEVICE(0x04b8,
0x010e) },/* Expression 1680 */{ USB_DEVICE(0x04b8, 0x0110) },/* Perfection
1650 */{ USB_DEVICE(0x04b8, 0x0112) },/* Perfection 2450 - Gt-9700 for the
Japanese mkt */+ { USB_DEVICE(0x04b8, 0x011d) },/* Perfection 1260 *// *
Umax */{ USB_DEVICE(0x1606, 0x0010) },/* Astra 1220U */{ USB_DEVICE(0x1606,
0x0030) },/* Astra 2000U */
Again then one compiles the Kernel (including USB scanner module), and the
equipment should be recognized. It is to be wished that into newer Kernel
versions this change flows.
Without Patch
That is the substantially simpler method. In addition one works on the file
/etc/modules.conf and supplements the again following line:
option scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x011d
Under Debian GNU/Linux must put on man instead of its a new file/
etc/modutils/scanner.local and the line here inside write. Afterwards as
root the instruction of update modules is implemented.
No matter, how one proceeded, one must still load the module now. That can
settle the Hotplug Daemon independently, or one supplements (again with
Debian ) a line scanner in the file /etc/modules . Or one implements the
following command:
more modprobe scanner
In each case one should see equipment /a dev/usb/scanner0 now.
SANE The program SANE (scanner ACCESS Now Easy) supports the Epson
Perfection 1260U over plustek baking. One should pay attention to as current
a versions of SANE as possible and baking. Thus apparent even the
transmitted light unit functions.
In the file /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf one must change normally nothing. Only
enableTPA one should set the option to 1 (which is TPA at all?).
As front-end recommend I xsane . That can integrate itself even into the
"Datei" menu of GIMP, so that one can comfortably from there from scanning.
Thats what I find hope it helps.
Good Luck
