Product Description:

I have written this program because my scanner is useless in OS X thanks to UMAX. Thankfully, the people working on SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) have come up with drivers for my scanner. However, I have to use the terminal to use it.

So, I have written a program to scan without all the hassle of terminal! It is very basic but does the job.

Before using my program, you need to download the libraries. Mattias Ellert has compiled a set for OS X and packaged it up. You can get it here: http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/

works with scsi convertor! - Version: 1.1.1, 6/8/2005 10:43AM PST

i actually somehow got this thing to work with my umax astra 1200s scsi scanner and a ratoc scsi -> firewire convertor. took a few hours, but it works including the transparency adapter. you need the "TWAIN SANE Interface", "SANE backends" & "libusb" files. i'm in panther. it works as an import plugin from photoshop which you can't even do with vuescan. pretty basic, but does the job. no descreen option. did i mention that it's free?

thank you very much!

I would like to try this, but re: "Before using my program, you need to download the libraries" What is it I need to download from that site? There are 9 different items listed for Jaguar and 7 for Panther. Does "libraries" mean all of these?

Well This one didn't work on my Umax 1220U but the 1.2B version did, but the preview is not working on the 1.2b version and it looks like the 150 res. worked but not 300 res.
