Using Scanner in Ubuntu

After installing Epson scanner drivers from official Epson site, there are a few tools that can be used to scan:
1. scanimage terminal application
2. xsane GUI app
3. Simple Scan GUI app

The GUI apps are straight-forward to use. But I found that sometimes they just don't work. So I use the Terminal method when that happened :)

scanimage --resolution 300 --mode Color --format ppm > output.ppm
