Features

Network ScanGear is a 32-bit TWAIN-compliant scanner driver that allows computers on a network to use a Canon imageRUNNER series digital copier that is located in the same subnet as a scanner.

It consists of the following software.

■ScanGear Tool

This software is installed together with the Network ScanGear driver, and enables the user to select the device name of the scanner on the network to be used for scanning with the Network ScanGear driver. No scanner is selected during Network ScanGear installation, so you must start the ScanGear Tool and select a scanner before use.
