In order to get duplex scanning working properly, I had to make sure the following settings were set under Page Options: Run the following to get the app installed with its dependencies: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jeffreyratcliffe/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gscan2pdf sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr sudo apt-get install unpaper WorkflowĪfter opening gscan2pdf, click the Scan button which opens a scan dialog very similar to the one Adobe Acrobat uses. In order to get past this bug, I had to make sure I was using gscan2pdf’s PPA in order to get the latest version. Under the covers, it uses unpaper and tesseract for cleaning up and OCRing the scans respectively. I’ve been using gscan2pdf to replace my Acrobat workflow. If the scanner still doesn’t show up, you may have to reboot. Go back to the original search results page and download the “iscan plugin package.” Accept the agreement and download and run the esci-interpreter-gt-s80_0.2.1-1_b package.Īfter that, you should be able to use any scanner application with your scanner. This was the part I missed on my first go around. If you try to run the packaged scanner software, Image Scan!, now, it will give you the error:Ĭould not send command to scanner. The FAQ (link at bottom of that page) states you need to install the data package first and then the core package (libltdl7 for Ubuntu >= 8.10). From there, accept the agreement and download and run the following in order:
Search GT-S50 and download the “core package & data package” first. I’ve outlined the steps below.Įpson provides a linux driver for the scanner that you need to install. This thread helped me out the most when I was trying to get this working. It just took me a little bit to get my workflow setup with a different set of software. Turn scanner on, load document, click scan in Acrobat - out pops a nice optimized OCRd PDF. Back when I was using Windows, I used to use Adobe Acrobat to scan all my documents into PDF. I’m a bit anal when it comes to digitizing all of my important paperwork.
