How to Use the Network TWAIN Scanner

To use the network TWAIN scanner, a TWAIN-compliant application and the TWAIN driver must be installed on the client computer.

When scanning originals using a TWAIN-compliant application, select the TWAIN driver, and then specify the scan settings in the Scanner Control dialog box. How to start the TWAIN driver varies depending on the application. For details, see your application’s help.

Important

  • Under the Windows XP SP2/Vista/7 or Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008 operating system, when the Windows firewall or an antivirus program is enabled, "Cannot find the scanner." or “No response from the scanner.” may appear and scanning with the TWAIN scanner may fail. In this case, change the settings of the Windows firewall or antivirus program. For details, see Windows Help.

Note

  • If you have already selected a scanner, you do not need to select the scanner unless you want to change it.

  • If the correct scanner does not appear in the list, check that the scanner is correctly connected to the network and that its IPv4 address has been specified. If the correct scanner still does not appear; in the Network Connection Tool that is installed with the TWAIN driver, select the [Use a specific scanner.] check box, and then specify the IP address or host name of the scanner you want to use. For details, see the Help for the Network Connection Tool.

  • The Blank Page Detect function is not available when you are using the TWAIN scanner.
