airScanner 0.73 - Driverless eSCL/AirScan network scanning

airScanner is a tool that allows you to scan documents from a network
scanner using the eSCL / AirScan protocol directly ("driverless" scanning).

Connect to your scanner, perform a prescan to adjust the crop area,
and scan your documents directly to your computer.

FEATURES

eSCL / AirScan driverless scanning (HTTP + XML)

Automatic detection of scanner capabilities (Make, Model, DPI, Scan Area)

Adjustable scan settings:

Brightness, Contrast, Sharpen, Threshold (for B&W mode)

Compression factor

Source selection: Platen (Flatbed) or ADF (Automatic Document Feeder)

Colour modes: RGB24, Grayscale8, Black & White 1-bit

Live Preview & Interactive Cropping:

Draw your crop rectangle directly on the prescan image

Save specific regions as JPEG or PDF

Advanced Workflow:

Multi-page PDF support (ADF or manual Platen mode)

Real-time status logging (debug log to T:airscanner.debuglog)

SSL support for secure scanner communication

Preferences management (saved automatically to airScanner.prefs)

INSTALLATION

Ensure you have the required Hollywood plugins (RapaGUI, hURL, pdf-lite) installed.
Simply extract the archive to your preferred location.
USAGE

Launch airScanner.

Enter the IP address of your network scanner and select the protocol (HTTP/HTTPS).

Press "Connect" to fetch and verify the scanner's capabilities.

Use "Prescan" to get a low-resolution overview of the document.

Draw a rectangle on the preview image to select the area you wish to scan.

Choose your preferred format (PDF/JPG) and scan mode (Color/Grayscale/B&W).

Press "Scan" (Basic tab) or the Advanced Scan button for specialized jobs.

LOGGING

airScanner provides detailed feedback in the internal status window and writes
a debug log to T:airscanner.debuglog. This file is essential for
troubleshooting network issues or communication errors with the scanner.

NOTES

Advanced Scan (Multi-page): When "Multi-page" is enabled in the Advanced tab,
you can process multiple documents via ADF or perform manual multi-page
scans on the flatbed by selecting "Scan next" when prompted.

Conflict Resolution: Some scanners do not support specific combinations
(e.g., JPEG does not support 1-bit Black & White). If a conflict occurs,
the app will alert you to change the format or mode.

Preferences: The app stores device-specific settings in airScanner.prefs
in the application directory to speed up future startups.
