Many software applications provide capabilities to capture images directly from scanner devices, examples include:
A scanner is normally connected to a computer using a USB connection. However, some scanners are connected using the parallel, or Small Computer System Interface, commonly called SCSI.
With your scanner attached to the computer and powered on, start the Mandriva Linux Control Center, then select . The procedure below will step you through the installation process.
The best way to test if a scanner works properly is to scan something. To scan you need to use a program that provides the functions to capture from a scanner device. For the purpose of this test we will be using Kooka, an application for scanning.
Procedure 2.5. Testing a Scanner
The Kooka setup wizard is displayed with a list of installed scanner devices.
Select the scanner device you will be testing, then click the button.
Place an item to scan in the scanner, then click the button.
The scanner will warm up and scan the item. The resulting image is displayed in Kooka.
If the scanned image is displayed, then your scanner is installed and working correctly.
Click the button if you want to save the scanned image to a graphic file format.
