Introduction

The LEADTOOLS SANE SDK provides a powerful set of functions, including in-depth support for image acquisition from a wide variety of hardware devices. The LEADTOOLS SANE SDK consists of a Linux API (LtSane), a Java library (Leadtools.Sane), and a server library (Leadtools.Server.Sane). The LEADTOOLS SANE SDK is included with LEADTOOLS Document and Medical Imaging products.

Scanning Access Now Easy (SANE) is an API for handling image acquisition from scanning devices. The SANE API is designed so that only one driver needs to be written for each scanning device. Batch operations are easy to set up: options are selected once and used on each item in a set.

The LEADTOOLS SANE API (LtSane) is a 'native' shared object library for running SANE scanners on Linux. It supports image acquisition from any Scanner Access Now Easy (SANE) device.

Key Features:

With the LEADTOOLS SANE API, you can:

• Control any SANE device.
• Give your applications access to the wide variety of devices which can acquire images via SANE like Kodak, Hewlett Packard, Microtek, Logitech, Fujitsu and others.
• Integrate your applications directly into the rest of the LEADTOOLS toolkits.
• Scan directly into the LEAD image data type (BITMAPHANDLE for the API).
• Operate both native and networked scanners.
• Use the same interface in both native and network sessions.

The LEADTOOLS SANE API can be used to:

• Manage and handle multiple SANE devices.
• Acquire images from a specified SANE device.
• Control the type of image which is acquired.
• Control the resolution (dpi), and size of the image to be acquired.
• Get and set SANE option values.
