Connect to additional network scanners

To connect to additional scanners on the network, complete these steps.

1.Start the HP Scanner Tools Utility.

2.Click the Network tab, click Connect Scanner, and then follow the onscreen instructions.

NOTE: If you do not see the scanner to which you want to connect, make sure the scanner is not connected to a computer via the USB cable.

Install the scanner software on additional computers

Before a computer can use the network scanner, you must install the scanner software on that computer.

You are limited to three installations of the third-party applications that shipped with your scanner. To purchase additional licenses, see www.hp.com, search on your scanner model, find the product overview page, and then click the Specifications or Accessories tab.

NOTE: This scanner supports a maximum of 20 network users. If there are already 20 network users, you will see a Computer List Full dialog box. If you have scanner administrator privileges, you can remove a computer from the list and continue with the network installation.

1.Decide what software to install.

If you will be using the scanner with document-management or scanning software that you already own, you only need to install the HP Scanjet drivers and Scanner Tools Utility.

If you do not already have document-management and scanning software, you can use the HP scanning software that shipped with the scanner. Read the onscreen descriptions of the software during the installation to decide what software to install.

2.Insert the HP Scanning Software CD that came with the scanner into the computer CD drive.

Wait for the installation dialog box to appear, and then follow the onscreen instructions.

TIP: Once the software has been installed, you can connect to additional scanners on the network using the HP Scanner Tools Utility.
