It is a printer, scanner, fax and copier and all the functions can be controlled by your computer. Yes, the Epson will scan to you your computer. That said, it is mainly for business users because of it size.

Yes it does.... flawlessly. You need to install the software that comes with the printer. Part of that software will put an icon on your desktop that starts the scan process. For the first time scanning across the network - that is what I have found does a good job. After you complete your first scan - then you can use the buttons on the printer to initiate a scan to PC. I love these printers.. I have installed several and they all work great!!! Good Luck!!!

Yes. I use Mac computers, which are very easy to establish a connection with the printer. Can't speak for PC's, but hopefully they've improved their connectivity process. Once you are connected, all I have to do is open my System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Epson > Scan > Open Scanner > and you are there! It will scan directly to your computer, from either the glass, or the document feeder. The scanner has many many settings, to help you adjust what you are trying to achieve. I purchased the Epson, because of these types of features. MAKE CERTAIN to buy one that is WIFI enabled, so it can connect to your internet, without having to use a wire.

Yes! Absolutely! Network capable too, so you don't have to be in the room with it while scanning, printing, etc.

This unit scans to your own USB/storage device that you can put into your Apple or your PC. The files appear as jpgs. I use it on both Apple and PC.

You have to scan through a computer, but you can save to a flash drive. The scanner requires a computer (at least as far as I have figured out).

It does have a scan tool built into. I have not had any codes so i really don't know.

Alas, the scanner is an input device you need it connected to a computer to function. It's the application (scansnap manager and/or Adobe acrobat) that are the brains of the operation, the scanner is the work-horse. The scanner has no ability to somehow store data on itself. No magic wands, no hocus-pocus, this is simply a scanner.

Yes, it can scan virtually anything, but the key is the software that you are scanning to

No I don't believe so. In my opinion, this is a pretty basic scanner. Worth the money but needs more features.

I'm sorry I don't know enough about computers to answer your question. However we are very satisfied with the scanner.

No, I am afraid it does not. I just keep mine on my computer. Hope you find what you are looking for.

You have to plug it into your computer or it won't work, you can save it on your computer but cannot save it to the scanner.

yes.... you and use a USB thumb drive and it will scan images to the drive for later use on your PC. Each page is saved as a jpg image which can be converted on your PC if necessary.

There is no software. The scans save to an SDCard. The scanner comes with a USB stick that you can plug the SDCard into and then insert into your computer.

Yes it scans, the printer will load software right from the unit when you plug in the USB cable.

Since Ford Man's answer was ambiguous, it does NOT need to be connected via USB to scan, and it CAN scan to any computer on the network so long as it has the software installed. Alternatively, you can scan to email, scan to a shared network folder, scan to a USB flash drive, or (I believe) scan to some Internet locations.

Is it necessary to have a computer if you have one of these scanners? What is the purpose?

Hello. I just tried it and it did scan a bar code off of a computer screen.

Yes - it scans receipts as small as a credit card receipt or a gas station bill.
