Review on Kodak 1960988 ScanMate I940 Scanner by Nick Singh

Great little scanner, terrible linux drivers. The scanner is very affordable and very compact (I don't think you can get another ADF scanner in such a small form factor) and in my opinion it represents excellent value for money. However, the infeed isn't mechanically perfect, sometimes picking up more than one page at a time or loading a page in a less-than-ideal vertical orientation. But I've seen the same issues with HP's much more expensive office network scanners. I use it to save black and white documents, so I haven't done any serious testing or color quality comparisons and can't comment on that. Что касается физической кнопки и большого 7-сегментного светодиодного одноразрядного дисплея, я совершенно не знаю, для чего они нужны и что они делают с программным обеспечением Windows или Mac, и мне не интересно это выяснять, но если вы узнаете, как запрограммируйте их в Linux , inform me. The Kodak Linux "developers" who wrote the driver pack should be sent back to high school, which they clearly graduated from. I would buy again. If you're using Windows you'll probably be up and running right away and not interested in reading the rest of this post, but some people want scanners that run on Linux and this one is sold as under. Longer version of the story: It took blood and sweat to reverse engineer and fix Kodak's (to say the least) disingenuous Linux installation script to make it work on my Ubuntu. In vain: once the dirty mix is installed, libudev0 will have a lot of segfault. Removed all that madness. Instead, I configured xsane to tell the kodakaio module to recognize the i940 device ID. and Boom: It works like a charm. Bottom line: Kodak, stop throwing your money away releasing driver packages that look like someone wrote them in high school and start supporting mainstream open source efforts like SANE.
