Image Scan! is a graphical scanner utility for people that do not need all the bells and whistles provided by several of the other utilities out there (xsane, QuiteInsane, Kooka).
At the moment it only supports SEIKO EPSON devices. However, the device driver it provides can be used by any other SANE standard compliant scanner utility.
Note that several scanners require a non-free plugin before they can be used with this software. Using a scanner directly through a network interface also requires a non-free plugin.
## Packager's note
This is the old, obsoleted version of the Image Scan! for Linux, which is in turn superseded by the following products:
The motivation of building this is that the packager felt this version to be more polished and less bugs while using.
This is NOT an official distribution of Image Scan! for Linux, refer to the project's own issue tracker for support:
