Introduction
Features
EPSON Scan Server and EPSON TWAIN Pro Network software
work together to directly control all of the features of your EPSON
scanner on a network. Through the use of these software
packages, you can share one or more scanners among the users
in a network and allow scanned images to be imported into any
TWAIN-compliant application.
EPSON Scan Server software is installed on a PC running on
Windows which is connected to an EPSON scanner (hereafter, the
PC is called the scanner server PC), and makes the EPSON scanner
shareable in the network. The scanner can be accessed from all
client computers (Windows or Macintosh) which have EPSON
TWAIN Pro Network software installed.
EPSON TWAIN Pro Network software controls the functions of
your scanner just like EPSON TWAIN Pro software and can be
used on a network. On the other hand, EPSON TWAIN Pro
software is designed to be used only in a stand-alone
configuration in which only one computer is connected to an
EPSON scanner.
Introduction

The illustration below shows a sample network configuration in
which network scanning is available. One of the clients can be
connected to the scanner server PC and import a scanned image
from the scanner. After disconnecting, another client can access
the scanner server PC.

If there are multiple EPSON scanners and scanner server PCs in
the network, you can select which scanner to use in the EPSON
TWAIN Pro Network Setup dialog box on the client. To share an
EPSON scanner by clients in the network, only one EPSON
scanner can be connected to one scanner server PC.
