Can this model scan a document and have it appear on my PC over the home network (wired in this case) without using a USB cable?

As long as printer is hooked up to the network router it should give you option of scanning to any PC on network

You have to connect the printer to the router or wirelessly and then you can scan if it's on the same network.

Presumably your printer/scanner has a USB portal.In which case I'm quite sure it's doable but I wouldn't know exactly how. But many folks could know.

Yes, it comes with a USB cord that will attach to your PC. So they upload as you scan.

Not directly. You scan first to a mini smart card, then connect the scanner to the computer via USB and import the images.

Probably, but I would not recommend. This model is very demanding about paper and source settings, and multiple users would trip constantly over that problem. In addition., you could probably not scan to software effectively.

This great little scanner uses a USB connection to a computer. It has no internal memory, so you can't use it as a stand-alone item. It depends on computer drivers to work.

No. The scanner doesn't have its own storage and needs to be connected to a computer via USB to work. If you want more portable scanning, try the Doxie Go, for example.

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 and No. You can but it will not be that efficent. It will work but it will not work like a normal usb scanner. If you are really mobile it would probably work good but otherwise I would say buy a normal one because they are also more inexpensive . Hope this helps

Sorry should have clarified - I'm just trying to use a direct, simple wired connection using a USB interface cable directly from my laptop to the printer. It doesn't seem to come online. Have you tried just doing a wired print on a cable that is greater than 6 feet?

I am using the latest Mac OSX operating system and I am able to scan wirelessly. I have the epson connected directly to my router and my computer is on the wireless network. Hope this helps!

Hi Alfredo,It does connect to a computer via a USB port (Mini-B plug on the scanner), but it switches to SD card reader mode so that the SD card appears as a USB flash drive. There doesn't appear to be an option to scan directly into software running on a computer. The scanner has no problems scanning checks and is especially good at scanning long receipts that don't fit on a regular flatbed scanner.

I am satisfied with the scanning, although I do not scan a great deal. The quality, color and clarity seem fine to me. I have not been able to scan over the network, I have to be direct connect (USB) to get it to work. I am sure there is a fix for this but I have a small network and it is not an issue, otherwise I would have figured it out by now. Hope this helps.

Yes, it comes with cable to do that. Unfortunately I didn't try this scanner until months after the I bought. The images are awful!

you have to plug it directly into your computer when you scan, not into the router

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.

I have that software on my computer so when I scan and import it works. Are you wanting to use the printer as a stand alone unit that would scan something, process by ocr, and print it out without going through a computer? I don't think it would do that.....
