How can I get it to scan to either of our laptops?

I have no idea. This is literally the worst piece of crap printer I have ever owned.

If both laptops are networked to the same router, you have to make sure to have the scanning software installed on both laptops and that you're using the wireless setup during you installation. The scanning software is included on the Epson NX625 installation disc. If you are using a USB cable to connect to the printers, the setup should be made selecting the the USB option on the installation disc and must be installed on each computer. You'll need to plug the USB cable into whichever computer your using for scanning. Hope this helps.

I have a MacBook and I've found that in order for it to scan, you have to open the Printer/Scanner on the computer, click on the tab for the Scanner function, and then select "Scan." It's also from here that you can change all of the settings, such as resolution, color, scan size, etc. I've never been able to select the "Scan" function from the unit itself for it to scan directly to one of our computers, but I also haven't researched it at all after I discovered how to do it from the computer itself. Hope that helps.

I plug my scanner into my laptop with the 'mini' USB cord supplied with the unit. My laptop has shore power, so mine is 'travel-ready'. YMMV

Hi sasu686,You can direct the scans to any device you want. That is, if you have an external drive, you can designate that as the scan destination. If you need the scan to go to another location, yes you can scan to mapped drive as another answer (Jim Bowers) indicated.

plug it into another computer to test if it can connect. If not, hope you have a backup strategy in place. The trade off for speed, on this device, is reliability.

When scanning are you running it through the document feeder or scanning from the glass? As regards scanning to other PCs are the units you are trying to scan to all connected via a network?

There are two buttons. Press one and computer #1 is connected. Press the second one and the other computer is connected. LED lights let you quickly tell which one is pressed from about 8 feet away. It has worked very well for us. So well that I'm thinking of getting a second setup to connect our scanner to both computers.

One should connect directly to your computer/Laptop and the other should be connect to adaptor.

Hi, As much as I've used my scanner it has always only worked when connected to my computer. I have the portable model and I'm not sure how the desktop works.

I could scan hardwired to printer - using the printer's control panel (straight out of the box.) Suppose to be able to configure the printer to recognize the computer - but have not figured that one out yet. My OS X is 10.6.8.

The scanner doesn't have a power cord or batteries. You power it from the laptop with the USB so I don't think it will meet your needs.

It can scan by passover or pass through. We did not have much luck at getting it to work, but I am sure it was something we were doing wrong in following the instructions. We are not very technically inclined.

The scanner will work wirelessly as well, although you will have to hunt down the latest drivers on the Epson site the disc is out of date.

Yes you can. I have two of these scanners in two different offices. They are wired into the system and available to any computer on the network that has the local workstation.They work on wireless or hard wired but they cannot use both at the same time.

I have never had this problem and I am not sure how to answer your question. I plug the scanner into a USB port, click on computer and click on that drive (for example Removable Disk drive E) and you should be able to open it and get your information. Then you can copy it to where ever you want it. If you are not sure which drive is which, the computer will show you which drive has information in it. As you can see, I am not an expert. I just have to feel my way along. I hope that helps some. It works for me.

Yes. We loaded the program on three computers and can choose where the scan will go.

Sorry, No idea... The application i use for this equipment is to extend USB scanner connections.

use your PC and a USB cord. The built in Windows Fax and Scan program works well. If you do not want to use that program you can use the built-in HP Scan program which is a little bit more difficult to you and does not work with all PCs. If you do not have a built-in PC program you can download one from online for free. Good luck
