Scanner Networking
User's Guide
This document explains how the scanner network function in ScanWizard Pro allows you to share and
unshare scanners for public use, as well as how to access remote and local scanners through a network.
The scanner networking function of ScanWizard
Pro is geared specifically for scanner users
working in a LAN (Local Area Network)
environment. With this new feature in
ScanWizard Pro, computers on a network can
share in the use of a single connected scanner,
allowing multiple users to enjoy the use of an
otherwise scarce resource.
Note : ScanWizard Pro's scanner networking
function runs only on the Windows operating
system.
Microtek Scanner Server (MSS) utility
The Microtek Scanner Server (MSS) utility is a separate but integrated scanner server utility program within
ScanWizard Pro. As an optional utility, the MSS provides scanner services to people (clients) in a work
group through their network. Through the MSS, a scanner server manager is able to control locally
connected scanners and share/unshare them for public use. If the MSS is not installed on your own system,
you still can access the shared or remote scanners of others on the network, but you will not be able to
share your connected local scanner for public use.
To install the MSS utility program, select "Yes" from the
on-screen instructions during installation of ScanWizard
Pro.
When the MSS is ready to provide scanner services to
other people on the network (clients), a message displays
on the screen, as shown below.

- Page 3 Note : If none of the connected local scanners (server scanners) are listed in Probe Scanners window of the MSS menu, this indicates that your connected local scanners cannot be shared for public use on the network. To resolve this problem, refer to the troubleshooting documentation on the Microtek CD-ROM . Unsharing your scanners Unsharing your connected local scanner prevents anyone from accessing the scanner.
- Page 4 Choosing a remote scanner on the network You can use the network scanner for scanning, instead of a locally connected scanner. Follow these steps to choose a network scanner: Make sure that your computer connected to a network before you start Windows. Make sure that you have ScanWizard Pro installed on your system.
- Page 5 The IP address is identified by dot-segregated four-position numbers, should be within the range 0 to 255 (e.g., 172.16.17.38). The first three numbers are common to users in a work group, and the fourth number is unique to each user on the network. To know the network scanner server’s IP address, select Scanner Probe from the Scanner menu on the server station.
- Page 6 When ScanWizard Pro is launched and the system is unable to find any local or remote scanner, the Microtek ScanWizard Pro window will appear, as shown below. Click TCP/IP Scanner Setup to specify network scanner servers for accessing scanners, then click Scanner Probe to detect all linked scanners on the network.
