Things you need to do on the local computer

Once you have completed the installation of VistaScan in a network environment, the next step is for the local user (who has a scanner physically connected to his computer) to create a Scanner Share ID. A Scanner Share ID allows remote network users to connect to the local user's scanner. .

To create a Scanner Share ID, do the following:

  1. Start Windows.
  2. Click on the Scan Manager icon in the VistaScan program folder to open the Scan Manager main window.
  3. Open the Scanner menu and choose Share Scanner As. The Share UMAX Scanner dialog box appears.
  4. Type in a Scanner Share ID in the Share Name box. The ID should be different from any other Scanner Share ID in your network.
  5. Click OK to confirm your choice and close the box or click CANCEL to close the box without any changes taking effect.

Now the local user can power up the scanner and start Network Scanner Server  to make it available for other remote users.
