Follow these steps to choose a network scanner: 1. Make sure that your computer connected to a network before you start Windows. Make sure that you have ScanWizard Pro installed on your system. Make sure that the remote user is connected to a server, and that the remote scanner is ready for public use.

If this option is checked, your system is enabled to access the remote scanners on the network. If unchecked, remote scanning is disabled, and only connected local scanners can be located. Locate the remote scanner by using either of the two ways below: a) By using auto search Check the option "Automatically find scanner servers, " and let the system automatically find the shared scanners (remote scanners) on the network. b) By using manual search Uncheck the option "Automatically find scanner servers, " and in the Server Edit location box, type the host name or the corresponding IP address of the host from which scanner services are desired.
