JFL Peripheral Solutions Announces Linux® Drivers for Visioneer and Xerox® DocuMate® Scanners

Free Linux Drivers with Integrated Image Processing Capabilities Now Available
OTTAWA--(Business Wire)--
JFL Peripheral Solutions, the leading independent provider of scanner driver
development services and products, today announced the availability of new Linux
drivers, for Visioneer and Xerox DocuMate scanners, that expand the
compatibility of these scanners to Linux operating systems with exclusive image
processing technology. The new standard SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) driver
enables users to scan on Linux-based operating systems including Ubuntu, Suse,
Suse Enterprise, Debian and Fedora. In addition to the SANE driver, JFL also
announced a soon to be available TWAIN 2.0 driver that is platform independent.

"We are receiving a growing number of customer requests for cross-platform
capabilities, including compatibility with operating systems built upon the
Linux kernel," said Fred Harju, senior technical spokesperson for JFL Peripheral
Solutions. "Utilizing our new drivers we have the capability to develop an API
for any Visioneer or Xerox DocuMate scanner under any Linux operating system.
Our unique Linux-compatible scanner driver also enables our Professional
Services Group to assist customers in building custom solutions at reasonable
rates for any application. This new driver gives us the ability to enable
practically any application on Linux for scanning."

"JFL`s software developers are the experts in designing and implementing imaging
software, drivers, and custom application components," said John Dexter, vice
president of business development at Visioneer. "Visioneer and Xerox DocuMate
scanners bring unprecedented ease-of-use and imaging capabilities to individual,
enterprise and government users. Extending these capabilities onto Linux
platforms provides a comprehensive solution for document management to network
administrators running multiple operating systems."

Recent research has shown that open source software is used by over 70 percent
of developers worldwide. Through 2012, the use and presence of Linux and other
open source software will continue to increase at double-digit rates within
enterprises already deploying it. Further, while Linux desktops are a small
portion of current desktops, IDC reports that their growth rate will continue at
a compounded annual rate of 30 to 40 percent.
