You can configure a scanner at any time using
YaST. The sane-backends package
contains hardware drivers and other essentials needed to use a scanner.
Connect your scanner to your computer and turn on the scanner.
Start YaST and select +. YaST will check if the sane-backends package is available and will try to
detect your scanner model automatically.
Depending on the results, proceed as follows:
If you scanner is detected properly, select the entry and click .
If your scanner cannot be automatically detected, try + first. If this does not work, click to open the manual configuration dialog and select the appropriate model and driver. Refer to the text for detailed information.
Click twice.
Test the scanner by clicking +.
Click to close this module.
