April 2009 - Kodak Scanners Now Support Linux

Kodak Authorised Reseller

KODAK have become the first scanner manufacturer to integrate both TWAIN 2.0 and SANE support for the LINUX Operating System.

Based on participation in the OpenUSB Project, Kodak is launching a robust, open source and production quality scanning application called ScanTWAIN for use on the LINUX Operating System.

ScanTWAIN supports full-speed duplex scanning on all KODAK i1200, i1300 and i1400 Series Scanners, as well as the optional DIN-A4 and DIN-A3 Tethered Flatbed Accessories.

The new LINUX drivers from KODAK support all major European languages such as: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Czech and Turkish.

The ScanTWAIN scanning application is freely available via the SourceForge website and is issued under GPL, Gnu Public License, vers. 2. 

TWAIN 2.0 for LINUX supports programmatic control of the scanner with or without a GUI, enabling customers to create imaging solutions that separate scanning application components over the network: e.g. "Remote Scanning Applications" and "Scanner Sharing". SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) is compatible with current LINUX imaging applications such as the GIMP, (Gnu Image Manipulation Program).

Scanner Portfolio Supported:
           

i1200 Series
i1300

LINUX distributions which are fully supported are:
