Tame/2 keeps the promise of easy scanner access. You no longer must fight with non-mnemonic command lines to produce scans or to get the most out of your scanner (as far as SANE supports it).

It is nothing more and nothing less than a bridge between your scanner, SANE, MMOS/2 and your preferred picture painting/drawing/publishing application. Beyond simply controlling the scan process, Tame/2 supports printing and faxing from scans, uses an OS/2 "light table" to facilitate handling your scanned images, scanning from a queue, and scanning over a network.

Tame/2 is not a drawing or picture painting tool, therefore no picture editing capabilities are built in.

Tame/2 should work with every SANE release and with every Scanner supported by an OS/2 port of SANE. This is done using a database of the specific settings for the scanners supported by SANE.

usbscan$.conf and epson.conf. A SaneUSB build is required, it should include the file.

Due to a workaround for the Epson 610U and 640U scanning with PNM as format maybe broken. Problems with SIS chipset (and/or USBOHCI.SYS) and 2400/1650 reported, we guess USB scanning with SIS chipset doesn't work with any USB scanner. We also recommend to make sure that either no IRQ's are shared for USB, or use the latest OS2LDR (for Warp4 FP13 and up) to avoid problems with shared IRQ's.
