XVScan works under HP-UX 9.x, 10.x, Linux and FreeBSD with HP ScanJet series SCSI scanners. It also works with HP ScanJet Plus parallel scanners under Linux. XVscan is based on xv, image manipulation software for X Windows. It handles 24-bit color, 8-bit greyscale and 1-bit monochrome images. Version 1.30 of XVScan now uses version 6a of the Independent JPEG Group's library. XVScan supports many image formats including GIF, JPEG, TIFF (compressed and uncompressed), PostScript (requires ghostscript), PBM/PGM/PPM (raw and ascii), X11 Bitmap, XPM (X PixMap), Sun Rasterfile, BMP, IRIS Rasterfile, Targa (24-bit), and FITS (greyscale). The addition of the new command-line scanning utility "sjscan" allows full control of the scanner and Auto Document Feeder to provide unattended batch scanning of up to 50 pages. Also included in this release are numerous updates to the ScanJet API which allows other applications to control an HP ScanJet scanner. The API is available under a separate licence. The list price for XVScan is $50 for ftp or email delivery. It is also available on 3.5" floppies or 4mm DAT tape for an additional $15 in the United States or $25 internationally.
