+Scanning with Kooka and KScan
+=============================
+
+Kooka and KScan use the SANE library to attach to the scanner
+hardware. It cannot be avoided by any library that a program sends
+commands to the scanner which can damage it. Especially very cheap
+scanners sometimes do not have a hardware protection against driving
+the bed to far, which can cause terrible noise and damage :-(
+
+That is why you should be warned running Kooka or the KDE scanservice
+the first time. Even if there were no reportings that something bad
+happens to any scanner models using Kooka yet, but it can not be
+garanteed.
+
+Starting to scan the first time, be sure to sit next to your scanner
+having your hand on the power-off switch. Switch off immediately if
+you hear unexpected noises or if something strange happens.
+
+If you find errors, please dont ask the SANE-people without having
+made sure that your error is _really_ a SANE error. Most probably, you
+found an KScan or Kooka-Error, which should be reported at
+http://bugs.kde.org
