JSane started on @Macarlo's Warp 4.0
Programmer Frank Schmittroth just releases
JSane, a Java frontend for the SANE scanner program, and uploads the file ( JSANE-A.ZIP, 43K) on Pete
Norloff's BBS. The Jsane program is free and is a trial version. Therefore,
to the extent permitted by law, the program is provided "as is" without
warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied. All risk is accepted by users
of the program. To the extent permitted by law, the author will in no event be liable
for damages arising from use of the program or from the inability to use it.
JSane is a Java-based frontend for the SANE (Scanner Access
Now Easy) scanner backend program. An external viewer program such as PMView is
required to print scanned images, and a fax program such as Faxworks Pro is needed
for faxing.
It was written for personnal use and is provided here "as is".
It has only been tested on my system (a PP180 cpu with 64k ram with a SCSI-based
HP-4p flatbed color scanner) using Java 1.1.4. See the accompanying text file,
notes.txt, for acknowledgements and other information. Copyright information is
in the text file, about.txt.
Features include a preview mode with cropping, and multi-page
files for faxing.
------------------------ Installation ------------------------------
Installation is manual.
1. Install Java 1.1.4 or better.
2. Obtain and install Freedman's OS2SANE verion 0.66 Release one including the
associated ASPI router by Dorau. (sane661.zip)
3. The following files must be in a working directory such as "D:\Jsane":
jsane.jar - the Jsane Java archive file.
about.doc - a text file used by Jsane.
notes.doc - a text file used by Jane.
scanimage.exe - the SANE backend program
libsane.dll - a library file for scanimage.exe
hp.conf - a configuration file for scanimage.exe (for HP scanners)
The first three files, my version of hp.conf, this readme file, and a sample
cmd file are included in this distribution. The last three files are from the
installation of the SANE program.
4. Additional files that can be created by the program include:
jsane.ini - Initialization file
Default.set - Default settings
Fax.set - Fax settings
------------------------ Running JSane ------------------------------
1a. If jsane.jar is in the Java classpath, then the program may be executed from
the working directory by the command line:
java Jsane
1b. Otherwise a command file that adds jsane.jar to the classpath is an alternative:
set classpath=%classpath%jsane.jar;
java Jsane
2. On initial startup, a request is made to create an Images subdirectory.
Also, a Default settings file, Default.set, and a Fax settings file, Fax.set
should be saved from the "Settings" menu if they do not exist.
Important: The "*.set" extensions are added internally and should
not be
typed.
For example, to save new Fax settings:
a. Change the Directory to the one desired for saving fax images.
b. Set the resolution to 200 x 200 dpi, and
c. enter "Fax" when requested by the "Settings->save"
menu
