What operating systems are

Supported operating systems are Windows 2000, Windows

 

supported?

XP and Windows Vista. TCP/IP needs to be available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What network interface is

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX wired network interface is

 

 

 

supported.

automatically detected by connecting the network cable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The major difference is whether the connection to the

 

 

 

 

scanner/printer function of the machine from the computers

 

 

 

 

on the network is 1:1 basis (device server) or 1:n basis (print

 

 

 

What is the difference between a

server).

 

 

SC-Scan A establishes a connection to the scanner function

 

 

device server and print server?

 

 

and enables you to use it as if it was connected locally to your

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

computer. Therefore, if the scanner function is accessed by a

 

 

 

 

computer (in use by another user), the scanner function

 

 

 

 

cannot be shared with other computers.
