Vividata's ScanShop provides a uniform interface for scanners in the Unix environment. Vividata's software is instantly effective and quick to install, and easy to use. ScanShop will enable you to capture images easily and efficiently.

With its Motif and OpenLook Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), ScanShop can be a stand-alone application...or, with its Command Line Interface (CLI), ScanShop can be used as an imbedded image capture or batch scanning utility within other applications.




ScanShop reads and writes all standard file formats, allowing image exchange with the most popular applications. Vividata software supports a variety of scanners including all of the most popular SCSI and GPIB scanners.

ScanShop - COMMAND LINE INTERFACE (CLI)

Professional Developers - ScanShop is for you too!

Command Line Interface Benefits:

  • Integrate scanning into your application quickly and easily
    Issue a single UNIX system call to ScanShop's CLI to access all scanner functions. The CLI is developer-friendly; it allows partial (incomplete) parameter input and supports a flexible input order.
  • Do batch scanning with a scanner's Automatic Document Feeder
    ScanShop's interactive batch mode setup makes it very easy. First use the Graphical User Interface to set and save the scanner settings to a file. Then initiate a batch scan using the settings file.
  • Collate multiple images with automatic image numbering
  • Use ScanShop as an embedded image capture and viewer utility ScanShop's Command Line Interface Options:
