The scanning functionality can be used through the panel on the device itself and has proven very useful. Settings can be made through the web interface. However, I've never seen a networked scanner with which you were able to use some sort of scanning software that lets you make settings and pick the area you want to scan for every scan you make like such software exists for scanners connected to a computer by SCSI or USB or a parallel cable. Since the device in question supports TWAIN and TWAIN, iirc, was supposed to be some sort of standard for scanners, isn't there some software, like sane, that supports scanning over the network? -- Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
