        Network scan plugin

  Copyright (C) 2019  SEIKO EPSON Corporation


  SUMMARY
  =======
    This plugin enables scanning with Epson scanners via a network connection.

    All network capable Epson devices supported by 'imagescan' are expected to
    work with this plugin.


  LICENSING
  =========
    The software is made available under the terms of the EPSON
    END USER SOFTWARE LICENSE.  You should have received a verbatim copy of
    this license in the 'COPYING.EPSON.en.txt' file.
    A Japanese translation is available as 'COPYING.EPSON.ja.txt'.


INSTALLATION
============

  BINARY PACKAGES
  ---------------
    For help on installation of Debian and RPM binary packages refer to
    your distribution's documentation.  In most graphical environments
    just double clicking does the right thing.  If that does not work
    for you, you can always install from a command line with the least
    common denominator tools as follows:

    For Debian packages:

      # dpkg --install $filename.deb

    For RPM packages:

      # rpm --upgrade $filename.rpm

    Both commands require root user privileges and assume that package
    dependencies have been taken care of already.


CONFIGURATION
=============

  In order to configure a scanner for use with this plugin, add a
  snippet similar to that below to your 'imagescan' configuration.
  This file typically exists as '/etc/imagescan/imagescan.conf' but
  may be located elsewhere.

    [devices]

    net.udi    = networkscan:esci://192.168.0.2:1865
    net.vendor = Epson
    net.model  = DS-5500
    net.name   = My Network Scanner

  Adjust the IP address and model information to that of your scanner.
  The port number, 1865, should be correct for all supported scanners
  but may be modified if necessary.  The 'vendor', 'model' and 'name'
  attributes are optional and only used for display purposes.
  Note that the 'name' is not visible with SANE frontends.  This is a
  limitation of the SANE API.

  If the configuration already has a '[devices]' section, simply add
  the four lines there and don't copy the '[devices]' line.

  If you want to add more devices, just replace the 'net' part with
  another string.  You could use 'first' and 'second' for example, or
  something more descriptive and imaginative.


LIMITATIONS
===========

  - Scans cannot be started from the panel.  Cancelling scans from the
    panel is supported, though.
  - IPv6 is not supported.
