Full instructions: README.

What's included

  • sti.dll: replacement for Wine's still-image layer, so SilverFast finds the scanner
  • silverfast-usbd: Linux USB helper (libusb) with automatic V600 firmware loading
  • silverfast-linux: installer and launcher (install, run, doctor, udev, uninstall)

No LaserSoft or Epson software is included; the installer downloads it from the vendors and verifies it. You need your own MySilverFast licence.

Requirements

  • x86-64 Linux, glibc 2.34+ (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 35 or newer)
  • Wine 9 or newer (Staging uses a Unix socket, regular Wine a token-protected loopback port)
  • 7z, curl, python3, libusb-1.0

Tested

Fedora 43, Wine 11 Staging, Epson V600: prescan and a 1600 dpi, 48-bit scan. CI: Ubuntu 24.04, Wine 9.
