Through the use of these software packages, you can share one or more scanners among the users in a network and allow scanned images to be imported into any TWAIN-compliant application. EPSON Scan Server software is installed on a PC running on Windows which is connected to an EPSON scanner (hereafter, the PC is called the scanner server PC), and makes the EPSON scanner shareable in the network. The scanner can be accessed from all client PCs which have EPSON TWAIN Pro Network software installed. EPSON TWAIN Pro Network software controls the functions of your scanner just like EPSON TWAIN Pro software and can be used in a networked environment. On the other hand, EPSON TWAIN Pro software is designed to be used only in a stand-alone configuration in which only one PC is connected to an EPSON scanner. Introduction 1 The illustration below shows a sample network configuration in which networked scanning is available. One of the clients can be connected to the scanner server PC and import a scanned image from the scanner. After disconnecting, another client can access the scanner server PC. Document to be scanned Scanner Scanner Server PC EPSON Scan Server Network EPSON TWAIN Pro Network Scanned Image Client PC Client PC If there are multiple EPSON scanners and scanner server PCs in the network, you can select which scanner to be used in the EPSON TWAIN Pro Network setup dialog box on the client. To share an EPSON scanner by clients in the network, only one EPSON scanner can be connected to one scanner server PC. 2 Introduction About This Guide This User's Guide provides detailed instructions for installing and using EPSON Scan Server and EPSON TWAIN Pro Network software. Chapter 1 contains information about installing EPSON Scan Server and EPSON TWAIN Pro Network software. Chapter 2 provides basic information about networked scanning. Chapter 3 contains troubleshooting information. The Appendix describes the procedure for initially setting up a computer to be a scanner server PC. Notes in this Guide contain important information and useful tips on operating your scanner or software. This User's Guide assumes that you have a basic understanding of the Windows operating system. In this guide, the word "Windows" generally includes Windows 95, 98, Millennium Edition, NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 versions. Furthermore, screen displays of Windows 98 are used to represent displays of all versions of Windows unless the operating procedure differs between versions. When explanations cover specific versions of Windows, phrases such as "Windows 95", "Windows NT 4.0", "Windows 2000", or "Windows Millennium Edition" will be used to identify the version. Introduction 3 References There are other detailed user guides which contain useful information for scanning. Please refer to those manuals to achieve the best quality scanned images.
