Network Scanning

You can use EPSON Scan Server and EPSON TWAIN Pro Network, two applications on your EPSON Expression 1640XL Scanning Tools CD-ROM, to share your scanner with other users in a small workgroup.

Your network must have a scanner server (the Windows

computer connected to the scanner) and one or more client computers. Only one client computer at a time

can connect to the scanner server and access the scanner. However, you can have more than one scanner and scanner server on a network, so clients can choose which scanner to use.

Here are some other requirements for sharing a scanner:

■The scanner server must be an IBM pentium compatible PC computer running Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, or Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or higher.

■Client computers can be running Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, or Macintosh System 8.0 or later.

■Both the client computers and the scanner server must have a network interface card installed, and must be running the TCP/IP protocol (see Appendix B for instructions on installing the TCP/IP protocol).

■EPSON Scan Server must be installed on the scanner server, and EPSON TWAIN Pro Network must be installed on client computers.
