How did I setup AcerScan 620U to work with SANE driver:
As a root, open file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf with your favorite editor (vi if you are on command line) and uncomment line snapscan.
Download firmware from www.benq.com. I can’t remember exact address, but search for “acerscan 620u” or something.
Save firmware file somewhere in your home. Let’s say, ~/scan/u96v121.bin.
In the /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf put full path to the saved firmware.
firmware /home/goran/scan/u96v121.bin

Looks like that 620U is not supported on benq web site (or I couldn’t find it). So, after little bit of googling, found drivers on a www.nix.ru. After 12Mb of download, open zip file. A firmware file sits in a bin directory.
Thank You!
My Scanner works.
Glad to hear that. Cheers!
Such an old post, and an even older scanner, but guess what, it still does the trick! With many thanks for keeping this post alive!
use it in 2015.

amazing.
Funny thing is … I still have that scanner. And it still works 🙂
