Scanning Documents from a Networked Computer |
Instructions for scanning documents from a networked computer. |
Overview of Scanner Functions |
This machine enables you to scan documents from computers over the network. Scanned documents are transmitted over the network to your computer. |
Introduction to Using Scanner Functions - Scanning Documents from a Networked Computer |
This section describes the things that you must do before scanning documents from a networked computer. |
Color Network ScanGear is launched from the menu of a TWAIN-compliant application (applications capable of modifying images or inserting them into a document, such as Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc.). A TWAIN-compliant application must be installed in your computer, since Color Network ScanGear cannot be used as an independent application software.
Connect the network cable and set the IP address to enable your machine to communicate over the network. For details, see "Basic Network Settings," and "Setting and Checking the IP Address."
Color Network ScanGear is an application software required in order to scan documents from a computer. For information on how to install the software, see "Set Up Computers and Software" in the Starter Guide.
Before scanning documents from a computer, you need to select the machine for scanning using the ScanGear Tool. For details, see "Selecting the Network Scanner to be Used (Network Scan)."
