     4<para><acronym>SANE</acronym> is short an acronym Scanner Access Now Easy.
     5Scanner access, however, is far from easy, since every vendor has own
     6protocols. The only known protocol that should bring some unity into this
     7chaos is the <acronym>TWAIN</acronym> interface, but this is too imprecise to
     8allow a stable scanning framework. Therefore, <acronym>SANE</acronym> comes
     9with its own protocol, so the vendor drivers can't be used.</para>
