I'm using the openSUSE11.4 or later. When I connect the machine to a USB port and use the brscan-skey, a scan key does not work when I connect and disconnect USB devices.
Restart the scan-key program ("brscan-skey -t" to terminate the program and "brscan-skey" to start.)
When I scan multiple page documents using the ADF, all pages are feeded, but only page 1 shows in XSANE.
For XSANE 0.98 or earlier :
You will have to modify the multipage scanning option in XSANE.
In XSANE, click on Preferences, Setup, Enhancements. Change the "Automatic document Feeder Modus:" from "None" to " Automatic Document Feeder".
For XSANE 0.99 or later :
You will have to indicate the number of pages. Please increase the number in the box at the top left corner on the XSANE main window.
I want to edit a text file. When I try to save the file, I receive an error message.
Open the text editor by a superuser.
Example 1: Get the superuser authorization by "su" command. And run "gedit (filename)"
Example 2: Run "gksudo gedit (filename)"
When I try to use the scan key on my network connected machine, I receive the error "Check connection" or I can not select anything except "scan to FTP".
"The brscan-skey utility is configured to use the eth0 network adapter by default.
If you are using a different network adapter, or if the name of the default network adoptor is not eth0 (e.g. Debian4.0r3), you will have to configure it by manual:
Confirm the network adapter name which is used for the connection with the scanner (e.g. eth0, eth1).
You can confirm the network adapter name by "ifconfig" command.
Open /usr/local/Brother/sane/brscan-skey-(version).cfg using your preferred text editor.
Add the line "eth=(adapter name)" to the cfg file. Change the adapter name accordingly.
Restart the scan-key program ("brscan-skey -t" to terminate the program and "brscan-skey" to start.)
*** It may take a few minutes for the modification to take effect.

When scanning I receive the error "Error during device I/O".
The Brother Linux scanner driver works only with a superuser by default.
To use it with a normal user, you will have to make some settings. Setting for normal users
