Scanning through command line

Thanks Joe.

I had not set-up a profile, which was causing the error. It is working fine now.

Does NAPS2 work in the GUI via TWAIN?

I haven't used anything with a CLI outside of a few Mac Terminal commands and Linux rights issues since the 90's.

Their support site for the CLI portion has this:

-p, --profile {name}
This specifies the name of the profile to use when scanning. Profiles are defined using the GUI. If this option is not specified, the most-recently-used profile from the GUI is selected.

e.g.
naps2.console -o "F:\scanned receipt.pdf" -p "Canon MP495 (color)"

Hi Joe,

I installed NAPS2 and trying to run the below command which gives me an error.

naps2.console --output "C:\test.pdf"

Error :  The specified profile is unavailable or ambiguous. \r\nUse the --profile option to specify a profile by name.

Can you please help me with this?

Thanks,

Divya

Thanks Joe. I will try it and get back to you.

Not natively.

But if you have it set up via TWAIN there are many methods

I have used NAPS2 very often, and according to that search, it also supports command a CLI so give it a go and see.

Hi,

Is it possible to make xerox documate 5460 scanner to scan a document from windows command line (Windows XP service pack 3).

Thanks
