How to use scanning on computer

[jiongpao]

Some of the copier machine are connected to computer via bi-directional cable, is there any software to install in order to scan a file to computer or do we need to press anything on copier for scanning?

If the method above solved does it same usage when we connect between the copier and computer using rj45 cable?

Scanning to file or desktop is only possible via network connection.
Bi-directional cable almost falls under the same connection as USB, its a peer to peer communication, except usb is faster.

Sooo, the answer to your ? is,

No.

Some canons can use the twain option and you have to go to online status and take it off line. But I do not know it this is for the bi-directional or network only connections.

As I said scanning to desktop or file requires communication with a network structure, meaning a static IP.

The twain driver requires a static IP as well for desktop scanning.

get your hands on a manual for Networking/ & Scanning
all techs should have them

Some of the "el cheapo" desktop models allow TWAIN scanning via a USB connection, but no commercial quality line (such as what we dealers sell) will. These are normally machines made for home use. (Or " SOHO", if you will.)

We have this come up every so often, just as I'm sure basically all dealers do.

As easy as it is to get a network connection going on these machines, there's very seldom a logical reason not to.

I agree with the above postes. You need to use the network connection. The manual for Canon Network ScanGear is included in the download of the software. Depending on which model you have you will either use the Colour or the B&W version of the software.

Ok we must use network for scanning purpose. But let say if i use ir3300 (a black and white machine) to scan colour document to computer, can i get colour or just black & white result? (perhaps a stupid question but im sorry i never try on it before :-l )

if u need to ask that question, u should not be working on copier machines

Actually, some of the newest black and white machines (of various brands) have color scanners.

The iR3300, on the other hand, is ANYTHING but new, so it's black and white only.

Sorry, Teckat, I wasn't trying to be contrary to your previous post, but I put it out there more for the benefit of the masses.

You'd be surprised at just how many folks don't realize that quite a few of the newest B&W MFPs can scan in color.

Of course, I had the opposite happen last year, where a rep sold a Ricoh MP6000 assuming that it could scan in color, which it could not. (Even our factory rep thought it could.)

I really do, though, wish people would at least take a few minutes to crack open a manual (heck, even a sales brochure) before posting. I also have a bit of an issue with folks thinking that they can get 2010 type performance out of 8 year old machines, such as the iR3300.

RTFM, as they say...
