    <para>This tool <footnote>
        <para>You can start this tool from the command line, by typing
<emphasis>scannerdrake</emphasis> as root.</para>
      </footnote> allows you to configure a
single scanner device or a multifunction device which includes scanning. It
also allows you to share local devices connected to this computer with a
remote computer or to access remote scanners.</para>

    <para>When you start this tool for the first time, you may get the following
message:</para>

    <para><emphasis>"SANE packages need to be installed to use scanners</emphasis></para>

    <para><emphasis>Do you want to install the SANE packages?"</emphasis></para>

    <para>Choose <emphasis>Yes</emphasis> to continue. It will install
<code>scanner-gui</code> and <code>task-scanning</code> if they are not yet
installed.</para>

    <para>If your scanner is identified correctly, so if in the above screen you see
the name of your scanner, the scanner is ready for use with, for instance,
<emphasis>XSane</emphasis> or <emphasis>Simple Scan</emphasis>.</para>

    <para>In that case, you might now want to want to configure the <emphasis>Scanner
sharing</emphasis> option. You can read about it in the <xref
linkend="scannersharing"/>.</para>

    
    <para>However, if your scanner hasn't been correctly identified, and checking its
cable(s) and power switch and then pressing <emphasis>Search for new
scanners</emphasis> doesn't help, you'll need to press <emphasis>Add a
scanner manually</emphasis>.</para>

    <para>Choose the brand of your scanner in the list you see, then its type from the
list for that brand and click <emphasis>Ok</emphasis></para>

<para>In some cases, you're told the scanner needs its firmware to be uploaded

downloaded from an Internet site of the vendor.</para><para>
