brnn Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hello and excuse me for the dumb question.I have to set up scanning via the network for a shared TOSHIBA E-165 SERIES machine. In the moment only printing via the network is available. I downloaded the necessary driver from TOSHIBA.COM (there is no disk ) but it only installs a printer. How to add a scanner? In the Scanners&Cameras menu in Windows XP there is an option for adding a scanner, but TOSHIBA machines are not on the list - apparently XP does not have the required driver.

puntoMX Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I've never seen a scanner be shared on a network but I presume there must be some that can but not by software. When you read the sales talk for that machine this is what pops up: "Incorporating A3 local TWAIN scanning"...I'll better move this to the network section .

ripken204 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 my printer is hooked up via wireless to my network and its software allows for network scanning.does your printer not have any specific network installation software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brnn Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) my printer is hooked up via wireless to my network and its software allows for network scanning.does your printer not have any specific network installation software?At the moment via-the-network printing is installed. That's all that the drivers from the official site provide as far as I can see. There is some gadget or something on the back of the printer near the ethernet port (it is not my printer) that I hear has something to do with the via-the-network scanning as it is bought apart for this specific purpose.
