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.
■ Network ScanGear driver
This is a scanner driver that can be accessed from TWAIN-compliant applications. This
driver is then used when scanning.
