Scan over IP or is TWAIN network able

Hello!

I have one question: Is Twain network able? We have a Scanner with an IP in the network (it is a multipurpose maschine) have i got a chance to conect via Twain from my workstation to the scanner?

thx for the reply!

TWAIN specification doesn’t mention about implementation. It’s upto the scanner vendor – the way it implements its scanner driver. If you want to use a scanner whose driver doesn’t provide this support then you’ll have to write your own client-server code for this.

Thx for the re.

Have you got any examples about the code you have said? I have no idea how to write a Client Server code for an Scanner….

thx

Dear Florian,

I don’t have any Client Server sample handy. You can read more about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-server and

For implementation, you need to use sockets. Search for socket examples on net, you’ll find plenty of them.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

What scanner do you have? I think you should enable “On-Line” functionality of TWAIN driver. It’s all that you should to do.

I have one Nashutec (This Scanner is Network Twain able) and an Panasonic DP180

But i have no idea what you mean if you say :” I think you should enable “On-Line” functionality of TWAIN driver”. How can i do enable the “On-Lin” functionality?

thx Flo

Hi!

one more Question. The Panasonic DP180 is not Twain Network able.
But he can Scan into the Network!
Do you think that it is possible to listen on the port and catch the pakets?

thx
