| 11 | <para>SANE is short for Scanner Access Now Easy. Alas, scanner access is
|
|---|
| 12 | not really easy, since every vendor has own protocols. The only known
|
|---|
| 13 | protocol that should bring some unity into this chaos is the TWAIN interface,
|
|---|
| [3e248486] | 14 | but this is too imprecise to allow a stable scanning framework. Therefore,
|
|---|
| [7008de1] | 15 | SANE comes with its own protocol, so the vendor drivers can't be used.</para>
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | <para>SANE is split into backends and frontends. The backends are drivers
|
|---|
| 18 | for the supported scanners. The frontends are user interfaces to access the
|
|---|
| 19 | backends.</para>
