does this come with the drivers? I have network software on two computers but only one scanner. I need to this on the second computer in stock room.

I've used these on XP and Windows 7, just plugged them in and they worked. No CD came with it.
277756
No, I do not believe a CD came with this. I think it downloaded the drivers automatically from the Internet.

drivers available online and good support available. = it is confusing to me but I got it to work.

I used a program called arc 500, the program was designed to work with the pro 106 scanner as well as other radio shack scanners. I bought it from radio shack and it came with drivers and a cable. after installation it offers a couple of free samples and then it wants to charge you around 60.00 dollars.

I am using it over a wireless network with my Windows 7 32-bit machine. Don't have any problems with scanning or printing and didn't have to download any drivers from the site to get it to work.

I can't answer your question specifically but I can tell you that I have used it on two different computers - the first one was 12 years old and the other one only one year old - it worked perfectly on both with no additional software needed - I don't know about drivers - all I know is that it worked on both of my computers - don't know if that helps you but hope it does - good luck

John, Install the drivers first, so that when you power up the scanner it will be recognized. I think you will be happy with this scanner. It isn't the fastest around, but the results are worth the wait. I think some of my old slides (1960's and 1970's) look better than they did originally.

Yes, the scanner works wirelessly. Double-check you have the latest drivers and patches. I can never keep my Windows 7 64-bit machines working with this printer wirelessly for more than a short time. Thinking of replacing it, actually, mainly because just the print software is so unreliable (in my case, on 3 separate machines).

As far as I know, you don't need drivers for this, but even if you do need drivers, you might want to tell us what operating system you are using which doesn't appear to support it. My advice would be that if the device does not seem to work when plugged into one of your USB ports that you assume that USB port is actually broken and try an alternate USB port. In case you are wondering, while I repair crashed windows installations with some frequency, and know too much about windows drivers, I'm only using Ubuntu Linux now, it is free, and it does not need drivers even for devices, such as printers and scanners, that traditionally need drivers when used with Windows.

I had the same problem. They said go into REG EDIT and delete anything in the registry to do with Neat. That worked as far as installing the program so I could open it on my screen. But the scanner itself hasn't worked yet. It's telling me no drivers loaded. That's where I am right now. I've been messing with this for almost a week now! I really wanted this...was all excited to ditch tons of paper. Now I'm pretty much ready to give up and return it.

This scanner has a single USB 2.0 plug to a Micro USB plug cable. Although there is usually more than one USB port available to use on your PC, there is only one Micro USB plug output on the scanner. I am sure that there is either a splitter cable, or a USB Hub that can take the signal from the scanner and send it to two different USB 2.0 ports on two separate PC's. Research Splitter cables and/or hubs to see if this is possible. Hope this helps!

No, this is all you need. Just let your computer download the drivers and your all set. It works great.

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.

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.

The scanner does not have a wireless network card. It was probably made before manufacturers started putting wireless network cards in peripheral devices like scanners and printers. It does work via USB and there may be a way to plug it into a wireless usb hub that connects to your wireless router. I am not sure about that though.

No, only the printer drivers are needed. Your router will assign a local IP address to the device, and the printer will be seen just like any other networked device.

Yes. The Scanner and CC4 work with Windows 8/8.1. If you have problems with the scanner showing up in Windows 8 or 8.1, then upgrade the firmware (tool on the drivers page for Brother). You will have to upgrade from a Windows 7, or below, OS. No one mentioned this, anywhere! I had upgraded to Win8.1, and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the scanner to install for days, but it worked fine for my Win7 box. I finally upgraded the firmware and it installed like a charm. I'm guessing new ones sold by Amazon are already on the new firmware, but since people use Amazon to look up information on products bought elsewhere, I thought this would be useful information, and also provides a definitive answer.

Just now trying to set this up. Printer / scanner functions work fine. So does the FAX, but I can't install any Epson FAX software or drivers. Don't REALLY need that (fax works fine from the printer control panel), but its annoying.

should not be a problem as long as your scanner program is loaded on both computers or a program that will control your scanner is loaded!
