Network Scanner wanted

If Printers and Scanners are considered hardware then I am in the right place. If not this can be moved.

What I am looking for is a NETWORK Scanner. NOT USB

I have a Printer that plugs directly into the Router and has proven to be one the better ideas I have had.

I have looked around at Scanners but all I have found so far are USB connected. I already have one of them so I do not need another.

BB is this what you're wanting??

Thanks for the reply but that is not what I am looking for.

I am looking for a Flatbed scanner that plugs into the Router/Switch via a Cat5 cable just like my printer does.

That way ALL MACHINES can use it without mine being on.

BB Sorry 'bout that.
Try these:

Or better yet here's a Microtek Scanmaker 9800XL that is accessable across a network even though it's a FireWire, USB, & SCSI-2 setup:

Checkout the spec's bottom section "Microtek's LANShare integrated scanner sharing utility (PC only) "

From the one's I did find they appear to be somewhat Pricey.

Hope this helps

 

Yep !!. I am finding that also. My idea may be fine but the cost may prohibit my using it.

Use vs cost can't be justified. ( not at this time anyway )

I do thank you for trying.
