18 | Quick Start: Installing and setting up ShareScan
Installing a Canon TWAIN driver
The ScanStation uses a TWAIN driver to get input from the device. You must install and
configure the driver before licensing the device.
If you are using supported Windows operating systems other than Windows Vista, you can use
Canon’s Color Network ScanGear v2.01 or Network ScanGear v2.0.1. If you are using Windows
Vista, you must use Canon’s Color Network ScanGear v2.2 or Network ScanGear v2.2.
eCopy recommends that you install the driver on the domain where it will be used.
To install the driver:
1 Insert the eCopy ShareScan CD (Disk 2) in the drive. (You can also look for drivers on
your network or download them from the Internet.)
2 Open the Canon folder and then open the folder for the driver that you want to install.
3 Run the installation program, following the instructions on the screen.
4 When the installation is complete, click Finish.
To configure the driver:
1 Select Start > Programs > driver_name > ScanGear Tool.
2 Click Discover to list the devices on your network that can use this driver.
The tool displays the “Discovering scanners” message and then displays the list of available
scanners.
3 Select the scanner that you want to use and then click Select.
4 Click Test Connection.
The tool should display a message that the selected scanner is available for scanning.
5 Click OK and then click Exit.
If you are using Windows Vista and you use ScanGear Tool to change to a different scanner, you
must select the driver again in the Administration console. You do this on the Status tab in the
Manage ScanStation Client pane.
Note: If you are installing Color Network ScanGear, you must log on using an Administrator
account. eCopy recommends that you read the Readme.txt file provided with the driver. It
provides important information about where to install the driver for “Restricted Users”. It also
provides information about listing Color Network ScanGear and ScanGear Tool on the
Exceptions tab in Windows Firewall.
