Pin 18 (RED) will be used to show that the system is performing is main task since the moment we’ll push the button to the moment that the image is processed, converted and sent. So, let’s start by hardware: we will need 3 pins one pin for the push button and two others for system status with leds. We have 2 leds for system status I’ll be on headquarters and if the system fails, someone has to describe me, by phone what they see in the Raspberry Pi box.
The idea is: atach an old USB scanner (must be compatible with Sane) to the Raspberry Pi, push a button to initiate the scanning process and a script is launched so the scanned image would be automatically sent to a predefined email address. In this solution I used Raspbian for the OS, Sendmail, Bind, Python, Bash, Sane, Imagemagick and Mutt. I assume that you may have some network background for setting up an email server and Bind so you can configure your operating system to send email to any email account. The solution: an old scanner and a Raspberry Pi.
#RPI NETWORK SCAN MAC SOFTWARE#
Despite that, it will not be would be an easy task to use this software due to people lack of knowledge. To Buy a network scanner was too expensive to buy a simple scanner and attach it to a computer was not a solution either, because there are 3 computers to 3 people. We need an easy way to transfer paper documents to our headquarters instantly. We also have e-mail and a server for remote backups. For these people computers are still a “complicated” object. There is a remote office that has only a few people working a few hours a day. I came across this idea because there is a problem in the company that I work for.
