GIMP

GIMP can be used to scan and export images/PDF's as well. Preferred.

pamac install colord-sane xsane gimp
apt install colord-sane sane-utils xsane gimp

File ➔ Create ➔ Xsane: Brother{#}:net{#};dev{#}

Verify scanning by acquiring a preview from the main xsane window that opens. This may pop under other windows or on different monitors based on GIMP configuration.

gscan2pdf

Utility for processing scans alternative to GIMP.

gscan will scan but sometimes it will appear 'black' in the preview. Just save the PDF, it will be saved correctly.

# Install all dependencies.
pamac install gscan2pdf tesseract-data-eng
apt install gscan2pdf

ctrl + g

Verify scanning by refreshing devices, running a scan, and saving it.

Web Services Device (Scanner)
