Apology for all those annoying questions. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I was able to make it to work: |
| 34 |
rpm -ihv --nodeps brscan4-0.4.4-1.x86_64.rpm |
| 35 |
emerge -avq media-gfx/brother-scan3-bin |
| 36 |
brsaneconfig4 -a name=Brother model=ADC-2400N ip=10.0.0.138 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I know, mixing portage with rpm is not a good idea. |
| 39 |

Brother ADS-2400N scanner works with USB, Network connection, duplex |
| 41 |
works as well. |
| 42 |
The mail reason I bought this scanner is that it can be connected to |
| 43 |
network and has TWAIN driver (my Fujitsu ScanSnap-junk doesn't have one). |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
However, following your suggestion I found "ebuild" in overlay for this |
| 46 |
scanner, so I reversed the installation and used ebuild: |
| 47 |
media-gfx/brother-ads2400n-bin |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
The only annoying feature in this scanner is that doesn't have "auto |
| 50 |
crop" (windows does) auto-feeder does not work. Scanning small receipts |
| 51 |
showing black borders on both sides (snapscan borders are white - easier |
| 52 |
to fax, print). |
| 53 |
I'll need to ask Brother support if it possible to change the borders to |
| 54 |
white background. |
