I believe xsane is already installed, if not
sudo apt-get xsane
Now for a front-end to it to make it friendly. Many of your programs have an acuire from scan option, for example in Libre office Insert -> picture ->from scan
Other graphic programs have similar options.
For a stand alone sudo apt-get install simple-scan
