Chapter 4
Network Scanning
You can use EPSON Scan Server and EPSON TWAIN Pro Network, two
applications on your EPSON Expression 1680 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 ® -compatible PC with a Pentium ® processor
running Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, or Windows
NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or higher.
■ Client computers can be an IBM ® -compatible PC with a Pentium ® processor
running Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows
NT 4.0, or a Power Macintosh or higher system running OS 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.
This chapter includes the following:
■ How to install, set up, and start EPSON Scan Server on the scanner server
■ How to install and start EPSON TWAIN Pro Network on client computers
