Can you scan to a networked PC or does the PC have to be directly connected to the printer/scanner?

When selecting the 'Scan' option, you get 4 sub-options to scan to;1) USB Memory.2) E-mail.3) Network.4) Application.If selecting the 'Scan to Network' option, there are 3 additional sub-options to scan to;1) Network Computer.2) Network Server.3) Search Address Book.Hope that helps!

You can connect directly to computer with USB. But going WI -FI is better. You can print from smart phone or tablet if you use WI - FI.

It is wireless and will scan to any computer you setup but the computer does have to be on, it does not have to be connected via the USB cable.

When I used it, the scanner was connected to my PC and the files went directly to the PC

No, it is a printer only. You would have to scan in first whatever you wanted to print a copy of.

Being that I've only use the printer wirelessly I can't really answer your question correctly. However I do know, there is a printer cable input on the back of this printer so you should be able to do all printing, copying, & scanning without wireless capabilities.

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

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.

It's been a few months since I used my Pacific Images scanner, but yes the scanner must be connected to a computer and the computer must be turned on. You can set it up to load the images into any file you want. Generally it works best to just load them into one receiver file and then transfer them to whatever file they should be in.

absolutley, its a great standalone. I have it on wireless and my computer is networked to it. I do all my scanning through the computer using there software. But it is fine as a standalone. I have 3 of these printers

This is just a Keyboard, Video and Mouse(KVM) with Audio. It will NOT help with printers or scanners. For that, you'll probably need a network.

No to "can the printer be connected to the network wirelessly." It has to be connected with an ethernet cable to your router.ie. printer---cable---router is how it is connected.Great printer though.

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.

You have to have the scanner connected to a computer in order for it to work. The software to operate the scanner is loaded on the computer. The disk for the software comes with the scanner. There is a cord with the scanner to connect it to a USB port on your computer.

I believe you can set it up to scan to the PC over the network. I haven't gotten that working though. What I do is to just scan to a thumb drive and then pull the image from the thumb drive onto whatever PC I need the scan on.

Yes . My computer is not even connected to the printer with a cable and I can scan fine.

It is simply a printer. It doesn't fax, scan or make copies. It connects to the PC with a USB cable.
