<title>Introduction to <application>sane</application></title>

|
|
|
<para><acronym>SANE</acronym> is short for Scanner Access Now Easy.
|
|
Scanner access, however, is far from easy, since every vendor has their own
|
|
protocols. The only known protocol that should bring some unity into this
|
|
chaos is the <acronym>TWAIN</acronym> interface, but this is too imprecise to
|
|
allow a stable scanning framework. Therefore, <acronym>SANE</acronym> comes
|
|
with its own protocol, so the vendor drivers can't be used.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><acronym>SANE</acronym> is split into backends and frontends. The
|
|
backends are drivers for the supported scanners. The frontends are user
|
|
interfaces to access the backends.</para>
