[sane-devel] how do I use scanner hardware sensors (e.g. scan button)?

[Arthur Hebert]

Hello,

I have setup SANE to work with my Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner. How do I use SANE
to work with my scanner's "Scan" button? The regular command,

scanimage --format tiff > foo.tiff
>

works as expected. However, the command

scanimage --format tiff --scan=yes > foo.tiff
>

results in the error

scanimage: unrecognized option `--scan=yes'

My system is Mac OS X 10.5. The command scanimage --help produces output,
which includes awareness of the hardware sensors:
