 |
|
I have an Epson 3490 USB scanner, using the sane-snapscan backend.
sane-find-scanner and scanimage -L both return the scanner correctly, both as root and as user in group 'scanner'.
However, when I run xsane, it scans for devices, then the scanner makes a noise, then it says | Code: | | [snapscan] Scanner warming up - waiting 9 seconds. |
After a few seconds (probably 9), the light on the front of the scanner starts blinking red and a dialog box pops up that says | Code: | Failed to open device `snapscan:libusb:001:005':
Error during device I/O |
The scanner will not respond again until I unplug it and plug it back in.
Any ideas?
Some relevant info: | Code: |
$ sane-find-scanner -q
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0122 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:001:005
$ scanimage -L
device `snapscan:libusb:001:005' is a EPSON EPSON Scanner1 flatbed scanner
$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04b8:0122 Seiko Epson Corp. <--- scanner
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0a5c:200a Broadcom Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:c03d Logitech, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
$ cat /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf
#------------------------------ General -----------------------------------
# Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if

firmware /etc/sane.d/Esfw52.bin
# If not automatically found you may manually specify a device name.
# For USB scanners also specify bus=usb, e.g.
/dev/usb/scanner0 bus=usb
# For SCSI scanners specify the generic device, e.g. /dev/sg0 on Linux.

Ok, I feel like an idiot now.
When installing a scanner, check the bottom of it. There's usually a physical switch used to lock/unlock the scanner. If it's locked, you'll get the error messages shown above. If it's unlocked, it will work beautifully.
Guess I should have RTFQSG (Read The Fine Quick Start Guide). |
