It cannot be avoided by any library that a program sends +commands to the scanner which can damage it. Especially very cheap +scanners sometimes do not have a hardware protection against driving +the bed to far, which can cause terrible noise and damage :-( + +That is why you should be warned running Kooka or the KDE scanservice +the first time. Even if there were no reportings that something bad +happens to any scanner models using Kooka yet, but it can not be +garanteed. + +Starting to scan the first time, be sure to sit next to your scanner +having your hand on the power-off switch. Switch off immediately if +you hear unexpected noises or if something strange happens. + +If you find errors, please dont ask the SANE-people without having +made sure that your error is _really_ a SANE error. Most probably, you +found an KScan or Kooka-Error, which should be reported at +http://bugs.kde.org + + +- Klaas Freitag <freitag@suse.de> + +$Id$ |
