# Scanning
2+
3+
SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) may be used to acquire images from scanners.
4+
5+
As a prerequisite, install the `sane` package. To list discovered scanners:
6+
7+
```
8+
$ scanimage -L
9+
```
10+
11+
For additional options, consult
12+
[scanimage(1)](https://man.voidlinux.org/scanimage.1).
13+
14+
## Scanner Drivers
15+
16+
If the scanner is not discovered by `scanimage -L`, it may require a driver.
17+
18+
### Driverless scanning
19+
20+
Many different models of scanner support "driverless" scanning via the AirScan
21+
or WSD protocols. The `sane-airscan` driver may be utilized in these cases. This
22+
should cover the vast majority of modern scanner hardware.
23+
24+
Applications acting as frontends to SANE will also use the `sane-airscan` driver
25+
if present, but do not depend on it, so it's recommended to install this and
26+
have it available.
27+
28+
### Other scanner drivers
29+
30+
If the scanner is not detected with `sane-airscan`, a manufacturer-specific
31+
driver may be required.
32+

## Frontend Applications
52+
53+
The traditional XSane frontend is available as `xsane`.
54+
55+
### GNOME
56+
57+
GNOME's Document Scanner is available as `simple-scan`.
58+
59+
### KDE
60+
61+
Two KDE applications are available: `skanpage` and `skanlite`.
