Accessing a network scanner with JTWAIN

The application I am working on is capable of scanning using a locally connected scanner, but I have been unable to find any information on how to access a networked scanners. Is it possible to achieve this with JTWAIN?

Solution

  • Yes you can access it.

    If that local machine has drivers installed for that scanner which is connected then your twain dll will give a message to choose the device. It will scan it as per local scanner.

    Also that machine's browser must contain java. From java7 there are more security. It askes for permissions to access and you have to set it in your manifest.
