5.4 Using Copy Software with the scanner (local or network PC)
Your scanner can also be used with compatible copy software from a locally connected or
network PC. If the scanner is connected to the LAN, network PCs will be able to “share” the
scanner and control it with compatible copy software and use it with network printers. Naturally,
compatible copy software can also be applied in a stand alone local PC/printer configuration.
The “Scan/Copy station on Local PC” configuration was described in the section on “Setup and
Configuration”. Copying or scanning to file with this configuration can take place through
software installed on the PC. The software would control the scanner and all settings and
operation would take place from the PC.
If the scanner is connected and setup with network identification on the LAN, PCs on the LAN
can recognize and use the scanner (share) if compatible scan or copy software is installed on
the PC. The PCs must also have WIDEsystemNET installed.
Please refer to the scan/copy software documentation and on-line help for the most up-to-date
instructions on using the specific software application with the scanner.
Be sure to view the on-line help for WIDEsystemNET for information on scanner sharing and
scanning to a designated folder (to a network PC) on the LAN.
Please refer to this Operator’s Guide section on Scanner On Network Setup Settings for
details on enabling your scanner to be recognized on the LAN and shared by network PCs.
