IR3570 Scanning

**Northwestservice** · 08-12-2011

We rented a Ir3570 (without) meaps licence. told customers IT people that you can pull scan with software that has an aquire function. IT people tell me they cant find a free software that works. i told them they need to purcahse a full version of something like adobe. they insist that the scanning function does not work any suggestions as to what can be done?

There are many free softwares for scanning, they came bundled with the purchase of a scanner like Adobe Photoshop Elements (a cheap version of Photoshop).
Tell the IT people to install canon Network Scangear and discover the machine, this is the TWAIN driver for Canon iR machines.

they need to download and install NWSG for the pull scanning to work and you can use freeware to open the docs that you create.

Color Network ScanGear v2.23

here is a link to the manual and software.

Color Network Scangear will not work with this machine, it is only black and white.
Go to the Canon website and download Network Scangear.

I researched free scanning software, and found the following, here is it's description from SourceForge.net

ScanTWAIN Updated 2011-02-23[/
"ScanTWAIN is an Open Source TWAIN production quality scanning application based on QT 3.x. ScanTWAIN allows for duplex scanning from automatic document feeder (ADF) based scanners via TWAIN. "

Coupled with the scangear, you should have a solution...

Download ScanTWAIN from SourceForge.net

SourceForge -Banned countries and controversy

In its terms of use,SourceForge states that its services are not available to users in countries on the sanction list of the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria).
