### Connecting and Disconnecting from the Scanner A local user (whose computer is connected physically to a scanner) by definition is already connected to a scanner. As a result, he can directly start VistaScan and then proceed to scan. Unless the local user wants to connect to another scanner in the network, he or she need not use the Connect command described in this section. On the other hand, remote users (who share a scanner over the network) must first connect to a network scanner before they can use it. After a connection to a scanner is established, they can then use the scanner by starting VistaScan through the program folder created after setup. To connect to a scanner Open the Scanner menu and choose the Connect Scanner command. The Connect Network Scanner dialog box appears. Click the Browse Server button to manually browse the Server (Share) names of network devices until you locate the Scanner Share Name and description of the scanner you want to connect to . If you already know the Scanner Share Name, you can type it in the Server Name box. NOTE: To cause Scan Manager to automatically browse network devices everytime the Connect Network Scanner dialog box opens, check the Always Browse checkbox. Select the scanner by double-clicking on the Scanner Share Name and then click OK to confirm your choice. Click CANCEL to close the box without any changes taking effect. NOTE: The Source Name list box displays the current TWAIN Data Source (i.e. VistaScan). Unless you are upgrading the version of VistaScan or desire to select another Data Source, there is no need to change the Source Name list box entry. You may now place a source document in the scanner and use VistaScan to scan it. To disconnect from the scanner (local user only) The Disconnect command is only used by a local user who has used the Connect command to connect to another scanner in the network. The local user must first disconnect from the other (remote) scanner before he could use the scanner directly attached to his/her computer. To disconnect from the remote network scanner, open the Scanner menu and choose the Disconnect Scanner... command. The Scanner connection is then terminated.
