Actually it was just written as a reminder +for myself but I think it is a good idea to add it to Manuel Panea's +Canon backend package. Please remember that there is NO GUARANTEE that +this step by step instruction works also for you. +Corrections and suggestions are welcome, of course. Thank you. + + +1. How to install an Adaptec AVA-1502AP ? +----------------------------------------- + + The AVA-1502AP is is a small ISA Adaptec SCSI controller which is + shipped with the CanoScan slide scanner. Per default is has the + address 0x140, the IRQ 10 and the SCSI host id 7. Check first for + conflicts with your already existing hardware. + + Install the controller into the computer. + + After starting the BIOS should detect the board as a PNP board. + Boot the computer with the "SCSISelect" disk which is shipped with + the scanner to check that the controller is detected. Don't change + any settings except address, IRQ or SCSI id if necessary. + + Configure a new Linux kernel (version 2.0.30 or newer) with: + SCSI Support (yes) + SCSI Generic support (yes) + Low level driver for aha152x (yes) + Note: here you can try to compile the SCSI support as modules as + long as you don't boot the computer from a SCSI disk. But this + is not tested. + + Compile and install the new Linux kernel. + + Add "aha152x=0x140,10,7" to the "append" line to the already existing + kernel parameters in lilo.conf, e.g: + ------------------- + # Linux bootable partition config begins + image = /vmlinuz + root = /dev/hdc1 + label = linux + append = "sbpcd=0x230,SoundBlaster aha152x=0x140,10,7" + # Linux bootable partition config ends + ------------------- + + Invoke lilo to activate the changes. + + Reboot the computer and watch the boot messages. The SCSI host + adapter should be there now. + + +2. How to connect the scanner ? +------------------------------ + + Shutdown and turn off the computer, connect the scanner with the SCSI + cable to the SCSI adapter. Set the SCSI Id with the turn-switch at + the back of the scanner body. I'm using SCSI Id 1 with "termination + on" since the scanner is the one and only device connected to my host + adapter. + + Turn on the scanner first and wait for a few second. The scanner + performs a short self test. + + Turn on the computer. + + Watch the boot messages, there should be a message indicating that + the SCSI host adapter and the scanner are there. + + Now you can check again that the scanner device is there: + cat /proc/scsi/scsi + Should print something like that: + Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 + Vendor: CANON Model: IX-27015C Rev: 1.17 + Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02 + + +3. How to install SANE for the Canon 2700 film scanner ? +-------------------------------------------------------- + + Fetch the latest SANE distribution from the SANE homepage at: + http://www.sane-project.org/ + + Unpack and configure it. + + Get the latest canon backend from Manuel's homepage: + http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~mpd/sane + + Put the files in the sane/backend directory as described in the + README of the package. This overwrites the existing canon.* files + with the latest version of these files. + + Compile and install SANE. + + Add the "canon" scanner to the /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf file: + -------- cut here ------------ + # enable the next line if you want to allow access through the network: + #net + pnm + #mustek + #hp + #qcam + #umax + canon + -------- cut here ------------ + + Add a "canon.conf" file to the /usr/local/etc/sane.d directory: + -------- cut here ------------ + scsi CANON + -------- cut here ------------ + + Check the available scanners: + scanimage -L + This should give something like this: + device `canon:/dev/sg0' is a CANON IX-27015C film scanner + device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device + device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device + + Invoke the frontend: + xscanimage & + NOTE: The "xscanimage" frontend is in the SANE distribution. There + is also another SANE frontend available which is called "xsane" by + Oliver Rauch. It is still under heavy development and can be grabbed + from: + http://www.wolfsburg.de/~rauch + + A dialog box appears, select the canon scanner and here we go ... + Happy scanning !!! + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- cgit v1.2.3
