Chapter 4
Network Scanning
You can use EPSON Scan Server and EPSON TWAIN Pro Network, two applications on your EPSON Expression 1680 Scanning Tools CD-ROM, to share your scanner with other users in a small workgroup.
Your network must have a scanner server (the Windows computer connected to the scanner) and one or more client computers. Only one client computer at a time can connect to the scanner server and access the scanner. However, you can have more than one scanner and scanner server on a network, so clients can choose which scanner to use.
Here are some other requirements for sharing a scanner:
■
■
■
■
The scanner server must be an IBM ® -compatible PC with a Pentium ® processor running Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, or Windows
NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or higher.
Client computers can be an IBM ® -compatible PC with a Pentium ® processor running Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows
NT 4.0, or a Power Macintosh or higher system running OS 8.0 or later.
Both the client computers and the scanner server must have a network interface card installed, and must be running the TCP/IP protocol (see Appendix B for instructions on installing the TCP/IP protocol).
EPSON Scan Server must be installed on the scanner server, and EPSON
TWAIN Pro Network must be installed on client computers.

Setting Up the Scanner Server
You can set up any Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, or
Windows NT 4.0 computer as a scanner server, as long as it has a network interface card installed and is running the TCP/IP protocol.
Before you begin, make sure to unlock the scanner and connect it to the scanner
server (see Chapter 2, “Setting Up Your Scanner,” for details). If you don’t have the
TCP/IP protocol installed on the scanner server, see Appendix B, “Installing the

If you’re running Windows Me, continue with the next section.
If you’re running Windows 2000, go to page 71.
If you’re running Windows 98, go to page 75.
If you’re running Windows 95 or Windows NT, go to page 80.
Installing the Scanner Server Software on
Windows Me
Before you begin, make sure the Expression 1680 is connected to your computer.
Also, make sure you’ve recalibrated your monitor to factory specifications.
Depending on how your computer system was originally set up, you may be asked to insert your Windows Me CD-ROM during driver installation. Make sure you have it available, or know where to find the Windows source files on your hard disk (for example, in the Windows folder). If you need help, contact your computer manufacturer.
If you’ve just installed a SCSI or IEEE 1394 interface card, you may be asked to install a driver at the beginning of installation. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the best driver, then continue with the scanner server installation.

Using a Network Scanner
Network scanning involves the following steps:
■
■
The scanner server must be turned on and running EPSON Scan Server.
From the client computer, start EPSON TWAIN Pro Network to establish a connection to the scanner server. Only one client computer at a time can connect
to the scanner server. (See page 93 for instructions.)
■
■
■
■
■
Choose the Image Type , Resolution , and other settings you want for your scan.
(See Chapter 3, “How To Scan,” for more information about choosing settings.)
Place your first image on the document table (or in the optional automatic document feeder or one of the optional transparency unit’s film guides).
Start the scan. Although this can be done from EPSON TWAIN Pro Network on the client computer, it may be more convenient to press the scanner’s a Start button or to start the scan from the scanner server. Then you can scan several images with a single trip to the scanner.
If you want to scan more than one image, place your second image on the document table and press the scanner’s a Start button again. Repeat this step for every image you want to scan. (The settings you chose for the first image apply to these images too.)
When you return to the client computer, your scanned images appear in the host application’s window. Close EPSON TWAIN Pro Network to end your connection to the scanner server and allow other client computers to use the scanner.
Some applications, such as Adobe Photoshop LE, automatically close the client computer’s connection to the scanner server when you press the a Start button. You can’t use the a Start button to scan multiple images if you’re using these applications.

1680.book Page 92 Thursday, March 1, 2001 4:28 PM
Starting EPSON Scan Server
EPSON Scan Server starts automatically whenever the scanner server is turned on.
When EPSON Scan Server is running, you’ll see either the EPSON Scan Server dialog box, or the EPSON Scan Server icon on the Windows taskbar. If you need to start EPSON Scan Server manually, click Start , Programs , EPSON Scan
Server , and then select EPSON Scan Server .
You can quit EPSON Scan Server at any time. Just click the Exit button on the
EPSON Scan Server dialog box.
Wait for this message before you exit.
Click to exit.
Before you quit, make sure no client computers are trying to use the scanner. Don’t exit if the status area of the EPSON Scan Server dialog box indicates that you are connecting to a client. Wait until you see the message Waiting for connection.
If you installed EPSON TWAIN Pro on the scanner server so that you could make a direct connection to the scanner, remember that you must exit
EPSON Scan Server to use EPSON TWAIN Pro. EPSON Scan Server disables EPSON TWAIN Pro.

Starting EPSON TWAIN Pro Network
You connect to the scanner server by starting EPSON TWAIN Pro Network from the client computer. Follow these steps:
1. Start your host application.
2. Select EPSON TWAIN Pro Network as your source or scanner driver. (You only need to do this step once.)
