3 Installation of Software Required for Operation
3 Installation of Software Required for
Operation
Though the following packages need not necessarily be installed for operation, they are required for
saving scanned images in le formats other than PNM format using the Scan Utility.
netpbm ghostscript
We recommend installing these packages if they are not installed yet.
Installation status can be conrmed by the Package Manager provided with the respective distribution.
It can also be conrmed by commands. Open the terminal application, and execute the following
commands:
Debian OS
dpkg -l package name
Redhat OS
rpm -q package name
Memo
When installing on Ubuntu, search for “netpbm” from the Ubuntu Software Center and install the package.
When installing on RHEL, insert the installation disk (DVD) in the disk drive, and search for “netpbm” from “Add/remove
software”. Two packages (netpbm-progs and netpbm) can be conrmed. Select and “Apply” both packages.
Generally, Ghostscript is already installed when the Ubuntu and RHEL OS are installed. (This may differ according to the
distribution and version.)
