Sharing Your Scanners; Unsharing Your Scanners - Microtek ScanWizard Pro's User Manual

Sharing your scanners

To share your connected local scanners with other people (clients) on the network, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that your computer is networked before you start Windows.
2. Make sure that you have ScanWizard Pro with the MSS utility installed on your system.
3. Make sure that your connected scanners are in the ready state.
4. Enable the MSS to verify the status of your connected local scanners on the network.
Right-click the mouse button on the MSS icon to select Probe scanners from the menu. The connected
local scanners (server scanners) should display in the Probe Scanners window, indicating that your
connected local scanners are ready to be shared for use by other people (clients) on the network.
Server station
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. To unshare your
scanners, do either of the following below:
• Uninstall the MSS utility program.
• Select Exit from the MSS menu to close the MSS utility program, or terminate the connected local
scanners (server scanners) from the network if the MSS utility program is installed on your system.
