First of all, a little warning:
At the moment QuiteInsane is in alpha state. It has only been tested by a few persons.
Therefore use it very carefully, especially for the first time.
One person has reported, that a preview scan in QuiteInsane made the sensor of his scanner hit the
scanbed. This happened with an Umax Astra 2200. If you ever hear a loud noise during scanning,
switch of your scanner immediatley !!
This problem should be fixed in version 0.3-alpha.
Please read the documentation shipping with SANE, too.
QuiteInsane is a graphical frontend for SANE("Scanner Access Now Easy"). The intention behind SANE is to provide a standard application programming interface to access raster scanner hardware. In theory, a graphical frontend like QuiteInsane should work with every hardware supported by SANE. In practice, QuiteInsane is in alpha state. That means, that you shouldn't expect to get a fully functional and rock stable application, which works flawlessly with your scanner; it's more likely that you run into problems.
QuiteInsane is designed for usage with scanners (flatbed/hand-held). It has never been tested with other devices like cameras e.g.
