Set up a network scanner. Connecting the scanner to a PC

In this article I want to tell you how to turn a simple scanner into a network scanner. The Remotescan program will help us with this.

Let's say your office has one printer with a built-in scanner and copier (MFP), and about 10 users use this device. Any document flow is accompanied by scanning documents and converting them into electronic form. And so the poor accountant, connected to a computer with an MFP, constantly jumps and is distracted from his work, because he is constantly asked to scan a document and put it in the exchange folder. Agree, the accountant’s nerves will begin to fail within a month, and the management, when asked to buy another MFP, will say that there is no money. Is this a familiar situation? In order to save the nerves of the user to whom the MFP is connected, the Remotescan program was developed.

In this article I will not go into details of installing and configuring the MFP itself; let’s say you have already done this. Now let's move on to installing and configuring the Remotescan program.

Remotescan installation

First we need to download this program. By the way, it is paid, but if you download it here, it will turn into free, and even the crack will be in the archive. Magic!!!

This program is installed in two ways; where the scanner itself is connected, we must select the “server” installation option during installation.

Unzip to any location convenient for you and go to this folder. There you will see two files,

For now we are interested in the file called “setup.exe”, let’s run it:

Select English and click the “Next” button.

Here we click on the “Next” button, the following window will appear:

We agree to the license agreement and click the “Next” button.

Click the “Next” button again and the following window will appear:

And here it gets more interesting, we need to select the installation type, server or client.

1. Client – ​​if you install the program on the computer with which you want to use the scanner in the future, then select this item.
2. Server – if you install the program on the computer to which the scanner is physically connected (by wire), then select this item.

You and I install it on the computer to which the scanner is connected and therefore select the second installation type “install Server Software”. Click the “Next” button.

Attention.

You can choose both options, but if you are not a confident computer user, you may experience difficulties in the future when specifying the server.

We select where the program will be installed, you can leave it as default, click the “Next” button:

Here you are asked: “Do you want to start the remotescan server after installation”, check the “Yes” box and click on the “Next” button:

Click on the “Install” button. During the installation process you will see this window:

This will create an allowing rule on your firewall, check the box indicated by the arrow and click on the “Allow access” button.

The installation is complete, now click on the “finish” button.

We go to our folder that we unzipped:

And run the file “RemoteScan_client_rusificator”, everything is simple here, first click on the “Accept” button, and then “Extract”.

• Then we restart the computer.

After you restart your computer, the RemoteScan program will launch automatically, and the program icon will appear next to the clock.

We click on this icon, which appeared in the tray next to the clock with the right mouse button, you will see a context menu in which we select the topmost item (choose a scanner / select a scanner). Select your scanner from the list; you can see its name on the top cover of the device. This completes the server setup. You have worked on this computer, continue to work, and continue to scan as you did before.

• Installing the client part

Let's move to another computer and start installing the client part. I will not repeat the installation process; we do everything the same as when installing the server part, only in this window:

You need to select the “install Client Software” checkbox. This completes the installation process of the client part.

No shortcuts will appear either in the tray or on the desktop, so you don’t have to look. Just open the program in which you are scanning, and there should be a “select scanner” field in any case, and an item called “remotescan(TM)(TWAIN)” should appear there, I’ll show you how it looks using the example of the program “ FineReader".

So, I launch the program in which I usually scan some documents.

In the window that appears, in the upper left corner there is a “File” button; if you click on it, a context menu will appear, in which there is an item “Select scanner”, click on this item and the following window appears:

In this window we see this line that interests us: “remotescan(TM)(TWAIN)”.

The program can be downloaded here.

It happens like this =)

That's probably all! Thank you all for your attention, don’t forget to actively comment on my posts and add yourself as a friend on VKontakte =)

What is a scanner

A scanner is a device that helps translate a variety of documents, including texts. spreadsheets and photographs in electronic form. Scanner models are improving every year. Their prices are becoming more affordable. More and more people are finding use for this modern technology.

In order to take advantage of all the capabilities of your scanner, you must configure this device correctly. Of course, with the advent of Plug and Play technology, which allows you to automatically configure and connect various devices to a personal computer, it has become much easier. Accordingly, the device can be simply connected to your computer. But in other situations, you may need to perform a series of installation steps in the following sequence.

How to set up a scanner

1. Connect the scanner to your computer. In this case, the operating system installed on your computer will try to recognize the connected device, configure and install it.
2. In the Control Panel menu of the Start button, find the Scanners and Cameras folder. In the folder you will see all the imaging devices that are already paired with your computer. If the connected scanner is in this list, then this device is connected automatically. If it is not in the folder, then you need to run the scanner installation wizard.
3. In manual mode, find the model name of your device. If your model is not in the list, then you need to install the disk that came with the scanner. When inserting the disc into your computer's drive, select the "Have from disc" command. Then you need to select the path where the scanner driver is located. Typically, the installation driver is placed in a folder that contains the name of your device model. If there are no driver disks, download them online from the manufacturer's page of the scanner you are installing. In this case, you need to specify the path to the folder where you will save the downloaded drivers.
4. Next, the installation wizard will ask you to specify the port to which you are connecting the device. When in doubt about the port selection, select the Automatic port detection command.

Finally, you need to give a name to the device in the system. Now the device can work with any of the image processing programs.

How to set up a scanner in an MFP on a computer if the printer is working and connected

Connecting an MFP via WiFi

Connecting the MFP to a computer

Setting up the MFP

• You need to open the device settings and go to the “Fax Settings” menu, where you need to fill out all the fields. You must specify the number and disable the “Error Correction” option.
• Then you need to configure the settings for copying and saving pages.
• If the multifunctional device is used in the office, and there is a PBX, then you need to update the device software. This is done on the official website of the manufacturer of this device. After downloading the firmware file, you need to run it by first selecting your device and specifying the file.

Now you know everything about how to connect an MFP to a personal computer, as well as a wireless device using WiFi. This will help you quickly set up work if you move or buy a new device. In this case, you don’t have to wait for a specialist or spend money on calling him.

How to set up a scanner on a computer if the printer in the MFP is working and connected

An MFP or multifunction device can print, scan, and make copies of documents simultaneously. This is possible because this device combines a printer, built-in scanner and fax. Many users encounter various problems associated with setting up and connecting such equipment. The methods for connecting an MFP to a laptop or computer are no different from the methods for connecting conventional printers. If the MFP will be used to work over a network of several computers, then it is worth purchasing network MFPs, because all functions of both the printer and the scanner will be available on all computers. Such devices should have WiFi connectors, this will make setting up a wireless connection easier.

Connecting an MFP via WiFi

Typically, this device is connected via WiFi only through a special access point. Especially when connected to a laptop. You can connect a printer or MFP via Wi-Fi directly to a laptop only using a USB cable.

• Before you connect the MFP via WiFi, you first need to set up an access point.
• After that, you need to configure WiFi on the device itself and then connect to the access point. Next, drivers for the MFP or printer are installed on the computer and the printer or MFP is connected to the network.
• You need to turn on the MFP and enter a number of parameters. After that, you need to select the next item to connect the MFP via a WiFi wireless network and click “YES” in the dialog box.
• Next, you need to select “Quick setup”.
• When the device detects a suitable network, you will need to enter the encrypted Wi-Fi network code, which is set in the Wifi router settings.
• Then you need to check and confirm the entered network code. When the multifunction device is connected to a Wi-Fi access point, the indicator should turn blue.

Connecting the MFP to a computer

When connecting the printer to a computer, you must use specially installed drivers. Before you connect the MFP to your computer, you need to install drivers for the fax and scanner. Otherwise, installing a printer and MFP is similar.

• Before installing the device, it must be connected to the electrical network and, accordingly, to the computer. Then the device driver is installed. If the printer or MFP is new, then, according to the instructions, it is necessary to remove the yellow or orange transport tapes; they are clearly visible.
• Then you need to turn off the device and connect it to the USB port of your computer using a USB cable. After that, turn on the device.
• The computer will detect the MFP or printer, and the operating system will display the message “New hardware found” in a new window at the bottom right, with the specified device name. Then the New Hardware Installation window will open - “Found New Hardware Wizard”, which will further indicate how to install the MFP. Namely, you need to click the “Next” button, naturally after inserting the driver disk into the drive.
• After you install all the necessary drivers, you need to open the Start menu. There you need to go to the “Printers and Faxes” tab. This can also be done in the “Control Panel”, where in the “Printers and Faxes” window you will see whether the MFP is installed. If there is a problem, the device will not appear at all.
• If the installation was successful, you need to check the print quality. To do this, right-click on the name of the device or printer and call “Properties”, which opens from the drop-down list. Then, in the dialog box, click the “Test Print” button.
• It is possible to install the software and MFP driver directly from the disk included with the device. To do this, you need to insert the disk with the driver software into the drive. After the disk autoruns, a menu should open where you need to activate the installation of programs and drivers by clicking on the inscription or the corresponding button.
• In addition, device drivers can also be installed from the “Printers and Faxes” section. To do this, double-click on “Install a printer.” After this, the Device Installation Wizard starts and the corresponding dialog box opens. In this window, you must click “Next” and in another dialog box, click “Local printer connected to this computer.” If you want the OS to find the connected device on its own, then you need to check the box next to the item “Automatically detect and install a PnP printer.” After this, the search for the device and installation of its drivers begins. The driver disk is in the drive.
• If there are no drivers suitable for the device, then you need to visit the website of the MFP manufacturers and from there download the driver corresponding to your OS or version of Windows. To do this, you need to type the name of the equipment manufacturer in the address bar of your browser, preferably in English, indicate after the dot “ru” and then press “Enter”. Thus, you will be taken to the Russian-language version of the manufacturer’s website. Drivers for download are usually presented in the form of a self-extracting archive that automatically starts the installation. Thanks to this, there will be no difficulties during installation.

Setting up the MFP

Before setting up the MFP, you need to familiarize yourself with the operating parameters.

A system administrator, by the nature of his activity, needs to know: how many computers are on the local network he serves, their names and IP addresses, how many shared network resources(folders, printers, etc.) created. In addition, he needs quick access to any of these shared folders. But if there are a lot of computers on the network with shared resources, then this task is quite problematic.
Programs help solve this problem - resource scanners, which perform a monotonic exploration of the network and calculate nodes that share resources. One of the most famous such programs is (old name).

The program can be downloaded from the official website. It is paid, but there is a free trial period.

We install it as usual. During installation, you may also be prompted to install another utility: . Decide for yourself whether to install it or not. Personally, I don’t need it, because... There are no computers with wi-fi adapters on my network. So I unchecked this box:

After launching the program, you will be informed about how many days it will work in free mode - click the “ button Continue” (“Continue”):

The interface language can be changed to Russian. To do this, go to the “File” – “Language” item in the menu bar and select Russian.lng.

Let's get started with the program. First of all create a new goal, for which you need to select the menu in the top list Target – Add:

Enter any target name: I named “ My network ”:

In the window that opens, write a name that is clear to you: for example, “ Office network " Next, indicate the range of addresses that need to be scanned (you can use the “Find IP range” button). Click OK:

After the address range is specified, to start scanning the network, you must select the menu in the top list Scanning – Scan:

The scanning time depends on the size of the range, the number and type of resources found, etc. In the status bar below you can see the scanning progress indicator, as well as the number of addresses and computers that have already been scanned.

After your network has been scanned, the names of all computers and their IP addresses will be displayed on the screen. If any of the computers has a shared resource, a check mark will appear to the left of it. By clicking on it, we will see a drop-down list that lists all the shared resources of this computer: shared folders, printers, etc.

In this example, on a machine named COMP there is a common Canon printer and general Users folder. We can open this folder directly from this window by double-clicking.

This is how it turns out: computers with shared folders are located on different floors of the building, and we see them all at once in one window and can go to any one.

It has quite a lot of settings with which you can influence the appearance of the interface, scanning parameters (for example, add a check for the presence of FTP and HTTP servers), and display of information.

The program (old name) can be called an indispensable tool for finding the necessary information on local networks in a minimum time.

How to make a network scanner?

Master's answer:

A local network that connects several computers within one organization has some advantages in use: accessibility to common applications and files and the ability to share equipment: scanners, printers.

To make the scanner network-ready, you can use the RemoteScan 5 application. To do this, you need to download this program from the address: http://www.cwer.ru/node/6585/, then install it on each computer on the network. Accordingly, on the PC to which the scanner is connected - the server version, and on other personal computers to which the scanner needs to be connected via a network - the client version.

Please note that during the installation of the client version of the program, a message may appear stating that the scanner is missing. No need to pay attention to this. After completing the installation of the server part of the program, you need to right-click on the program icon in the tray in order to be able to use the settings.

You can then select your scanner and configure the ports to connect to it. Keep in mind that it may take up to three minutes to identify any device. If this does not happen, then this scanner model is not supported by the application.

Wait until the icon is no longer crossed out. After this, you should open your antivirus program/firewall and allow access to the scanner port. The default is 6077. If you have NOD32 antivirus installed, then you can go to your personal firewall, open settings, select interactive mode and start creating a separate rule for the RemoteScan program. You need to install the client version of the application on the appropriate computers, add special software and scan over the network.

Perhaps using another program to share the scanner on the local network will help if the previous application did not detect your scanner. To do this, you need to download the Blindscanner program, go to http://www.masterslabs.com/ru/blindscanner/download.html, select the desired version, download and install the server and client versions of the program on your computers, respectively. Perform the setup in the same way.

A local network provides various advantages for working with data: copying, transferring information, sharing programs and equipment. For example, one device can work with several computers on the network.

You will need

• - computer;
• – configured local network;
• – scanner.

Instructions

1. Download the RemoteScan 5 program to share the scanner over the network in Windows. You can download it here http://www.remote-scan.com/. Install the server version of the program on the computer to which the scanner is connected. Install the client version of the program on other computers on the network. When installing the latest version, the program will display a message saying that the scanner was not detected, do not worry, this is typical. After installing the server version, a program icon will appear in the tray. Right-click on it and go to “Settings” to connect the scanner to the network. Select the scanner and configure the ports. The scanner may not be able to detect it right away; it will take from one to 3 minutes.

2. Open your firewall/antivirus and allow access to port 6077, if you have NOD 32 antivirus, go to your personal firewall, go to interactive mode in the settings and make a separate rule for the RemoteScan program. Later, install client versions on other computers. The installation of the network scanner in Windows is complete.

3. Set up a network scanner in Ubuntu OS. Go to the terminal, enter the command #apt-get install and enter the name of the required package - sane-utils, then open the scanner configuration file, the one that can be located in the /etc/sane.d/ folder with the name saned.conf, add it to the end file the address of the computer to which you want to share the scanner. Edit the file #nano /etc/inetd.conf, add the line sane-port stream tcp nowait saned:saned and specify the further path /usr/sbin/saned saned.

4. Make a Scanner group: #groupadd scanner. Add users to this group using the following command: # #usermod -aG scanner “User name”; usermod -aG scanner saned. Edit the file 40-libsane.rules, located in the nano /lib/udev/rules.d/ folder, and find your scanner there. Bring the line with the name of the scanner approximately to this form: # “Name of the scanner”; ATTRS(idVendor)==”03f0″, ATTRS(idProduct)==”4305″, ENV(libsane_matched)=”yes”, MODE=”664″, “Group name”=”scanner”.

5. Set up the client computer: install the sane-utils package with support for the standard package installer apt-get install, edit the net.conf file located in the nano /etc/sane.d/ folder, add the address of the computer with the scanner to the end of this file. Connecting the scanner over the network is complete.

In contrast to Windows, which is easy to install and configure, Linux has become a symbol of the complexity and complexity of installation, which can scare off anyone who does not consider himself a command line virtuoso and a high-class programmer capable of writing the missing driver for an unknown device on his own.

However, installing and configuring ubuntu - the Linux distribution especially famous among beginners - is no more difficult than any other operating system. This distribution is ready to launch immediately after installation and includes everything you need for work: a client for communication via the ICQ protocol, an email client, a tool for working with photographs, an audio and video player, and the OpenOffice office suite. In addition, a mechanism for tracking software changes is implemented, freeing the user from the need to monitor the release of new versions. Here are schematic instructions for the installation process: 1. Download the distribution from http://ubuntu.ru/get, burn the disk image to CD, install it in the drive and boot. To do this, you may need to set the boot priority from the CD drive in the bios.2. In the installer that starts, select Russian. You can navigate through the list of languages ​​using the arrow keys on the keyboard.3. In the menu that appears, select the “Install ubuntu” option4. You will again need to select the preferred language for communication during the installation process, specify the time zone.5. Select your keyboard layout and check if it works correctly by typing a few words.6. A particularly important installation stage is determining the disk partitions for the operating system. If you want to leave Windows and set up Ubuntu as an alternative operating system, you need to do it very carefully so as not to lose expensive data and preserve the functionality of Windows. As usual, for the root partition containing system files, 5 GB is enough; for the swap partition, a volume equal to the amount of RAM of the computer, or one and a half times greater than it, is usually sufficient. The home directory containing user data should ideally be located on a different physical disk and have a capacity of 8-10 GB.7. Specify the username and password, as well as the computer name, click “Install”. After rebooting, the system is ready for use.

A scanner is a device necessary for converting a wide variety of documents into electronic form, from texts and tables to photographs. Scanner models are constantly being improved, their functional probabilities are increasing, and prices are decreasing, so that the scanner is increasingly finding a place on the table next to the home computer.

To take full advantage of modern special scanning technologies, you need to configure your scanner. Fortunately, with the origins of modern USB models and operating systems, setup is often done mechanically, simply by connecting the scanner to the computer. However, in other cases, the user may also need to take primitive steps to configure the scanner. Their approximate sequence could be as follows: 1. First of all, connect your device to your computer. The operating system will try to recognize it and mechanically install the necessary drivers and configure the scanner.2. Open Scanners and Cameras in Control Panel. All imaging devices connected to the computer are listed here, as well as a shortcut to launch the Connect New Devices Wizard. If the connected scanner is already in this folder, it means that the connection was made successfully in mechanical mode. If it is missing, run the scanner installation wizard.3. Manually select the scanner manufacturer, as well as the specific model name, and click Next. If your scanner model is not in the list, then insert the driver disk that came with the device into the drive and click the “Have from disk” button. You will need to specify the path to the device driver on the disk. As usual, the required driver is located in a folder whose name contains the name of your scanner model and the name of the operating system in which you are working. If there is no disk with drivers, try downloading them from the scanner manufacturer's website and specifying the path to the folder where you will save them.4. At the next step, the wizard will prompt you to specify the port to which the scanner is connected. If you are in doubt about which port to specify, select Mechanical Port Definition.5. All that remains is to set the name of the new device in the system, and the installation is complete. Now it can be used from any program that supports working with images.

A local network has a number of advantages for use within one organization: universal access to files and applications, as well as shared use of equipment: printers, scanners.

You will need

• – local network;
• – scanner;
• - Internet.

Instructions

1. Use the RemoteScan 5 application to share the scanner over the network. Download this program from the link http://www.cwer.ru/node/6585/. Next, install it on your computers. Accordingly, on the computer to which the scanner is connected, the server version, on the remaining PCs to which the scanner needs to be connected via the network, the client version.

2. Please note that when installing the client version of the program, a message about the absence of a scanner may appear, do not pay attention to it. After completing the installation of the server part of the application, right-click on the program icon in the tray. To access the settings.

3. Select a scanner, configure ports to access it. Please note that it may take from one to 3 minutes to identify the device. If this does not happen, then your scanner model is not supported by the application.

4. Wait until the strikethrough icon disappears from the icon. Open your antivirus/firewall program. Allow access to the scanner port, by default it is 6077. If you have NOD32 antivirus, then go to your personal firewall, open the settings, select interactive mode, make a separate rule for the RemoteScan program. Install client applications on the desired computers, add special software there and perform scanning over the network.

5. Use another program to share the scanner over the network if your scanner was not detected by the previous application. To do this, download the Blindscanner program. Follow the link http://www.masterslabs.com/ru/blindscanner/download.html, select the required version, download and install the server and client versions of the programs on your computers, respectively. The setup is done the same way.

There is hardly a single computer user who would not be annoyed by the tangle of wires connecting all sorts of peripheral devices to the computer. Wires are extremely inconvenient when working with a laptop; they negate all the advantages of computer mobility. It’s not for nothing that connecting devices wirelessly—all kinds of wireless keyboards, mice, printers, and more—has gained such rapid and strong popularity.

You can also get rid of one more wire - the network wire - by organizing a wireless wi-fi network in your home or office. It will provide high-speed Internet access anywhere in the room without wires, making both work and leisure even more convenient. In addition, such a network will be available not only for computers, but also for other equipment that supports wi-fi, say, phones and printers. To set up wi-fi, you will need an access point or, if the Internet is supplied using special ADSL technology, an ADSL modem-router.1 . Connect and configure your wireless router. This process is quite primitive and is accessible to any user. Follow the instructions provided in the documentation for your model. Let us only note that if this is permissible, then it would be better to make the distribution of IP addresses mechanical. This will simplify the procedure for logging into the network for new equipment.2. Configure your entire computer to work on a wireless network. Many laptops have a built-in Wi-Fi adapter, but a desktop computer may require a wireless network card, which will need to be purchased separately. Setting up a wireless network is slightly different from setting up a regular network. The only thing you need to do additionally is to enter a special secret network code generated by the router. The code will allow you not to worry about third-party users being able to connect to your wireless network.3. To connect to a wireless network of a pocket computer, it is easier for everyone to use the built-in iPAQ Wireless utility or a similar one, depending on the model of the pocket computer or phone. Here you will also need to indicate the secret network key. Once you have managed to set up wi fi, you will be able to not only use the Internet from any device on the wireless network, but also use a local network: provide universal access to folders, share a printer and scanner etc.

You are probably familiar with the situation when you have two or more PCs at home. The exchange of information between them, the use of one printer or scanner, as well as other peripheral devices, requires the existence of a network. But PC users need not only access to local sources, but also to the vastness of the global network. In view of this, you should figure out how to configure exit V Internet from the public modem.

You will need

• Personal computers, modem.

Instructions

1. Open the control panel of your entire PC, find the icon called “System” and click on it. In the “System” properties, go to the “Computer name” tab, select the “Change” option and assign your name to the entire personal computer, as well as one universal group.

2. To apply the changes made, reboot both electronic devices.

3. After restarting the PC, open the Control Panel, click on the “Network Connections” item and select the “Local Network” properties.

4. Configure the "Protocol" Internet a (TCP/IP)". To do this, you need to connect the modem you are using to the hub, manually enter the IP address, the mask of the created subnet, and also the “Road gateway”.

Video on the topic

Pay attention!
When assigning an IP address to all computers on the local network, carefully check them to avoid duplication, since the coincidence of the IP addresses of electronic devices can become a reason for their discord and, as a result, the impossibility of working on the same network.

Useful advice
On the “Road Gateway”, that is, the modem, enter the 1st address (for example, 212.120.0.1), and select the IP address for PCs included in the local network from the range 212.120.0.2 – 212.120.0.255. The subnet mask for all devices will be identical.

Several PCs in an apartment or office do not mean that you need to connect to all of them scanner or the printer separately. To make scanning and printing devices accessible to everyone, connect office equipment via networks .

You will need

• – Several computers;
• – scanner;
• – driver;
• – local network.

Instructions

1. Equip your computers with a network scanner ohm All local participants will have the opportunity to use office equipment on equal terms. networks. Positively set up and install equipment. To avoid complications in the operation of the network scanner but take into account some of its features and subtleties.

2. Please note that the network connection is connected scanner easily to the switch through the hub. If there are enough USB ports, then a hub is not essential. The main difference between network scanner ov from ordinary ones - lack of connection to one PC.

3. Follow the setup steps networks in the following sequence: - Install drivers for scanner a, from the manufacturer's disk to all computers connected to networks;- configure the drivers;- assign to the network scanner have your own IP address; - connect the equipment to the switch; - enter the IP value into the newly created TCP port. The network equipment will be connected to the server. The scanner will be able to send finished images to the specified computer or email address.

At a certain stage in the development of a retail trade entity, the manual form of accounting ceases to meet the needs of this trading enterprise. At the same time, the lack of an automated accounting system often leads to financial theft caused by employee abuse. Consequently, an automated accounting system “1C: retail” is being implemented at a trading enterprise, which needs to be positively configured.

You will need

• – personal computer;
• - “1C: retail”.

Instructions

1. Carry out the preparatory work. To do this, set up the “Store” (enter the name of the store and set up your account). “Warehouses” can be represented not by a single warehouse, but by an entire structure (utility rooms, sales floors and other objects).

2. Setting up “Products” involves entering the most detailed information about the products being sold: contractor, expiration date, composition, etc. Configure the “Prices” section. The pricing mechanism in this automated system is flexible and primitive: if a price metamorphosis is planned, in “1C: Retail” a date can be set from which new prices will begin.

3. When setting up “Discounts”, consider the fact that there are three types of discounts: when purchasing a product for a pre-specified amount, when purchasing a certain number of goods, using a discount card.

4. Complete the “Access Rights” setting: this will allow each user who will be granted access to this complex program to define only actions corresponding to his position. This will eliminate fraud on the part of the employees of this trading enterprise.

5. To improve the efficiency of your retail business, ensure that the equipment you use is properly configured. A responsible approach is needed to the selection of commercial equipment. Particularly common equipment includes a fiscal recorder, a barcode scanner, and label printers.

6. The final stage of setup is operational management. An inseparable stage of effective management is reporting and its review.

Pay attention!
If important tasks arise while working with 1C: Retail, immediately contact your system manager for support.

Useful advice
The 1C: Retail program is designed to minimize routine work. Due to the fact that it has most of the functions, this software is easy to customize.

The Internet is replete with articles on the topic of setting up shared access to printers, but finding good instructions on the topic “How to set up shared access to a scanner on a local network” is quite difficult, which is why novice users encounter problems when solving the problem on their own.

The main feature in setting up shared access to a scanner is its drivers, which control the operation of the device. The user and the operating system interact with the scanner through drivers, therefore they must contain a mechanism to support shared access to the scanner for remote use.

To make sure that interaction occurs at the driver level, try launching a scan from a third-party application, be it the operating system's Fax and Scan tool or a graphics editor. Be sure to get into the proprietary utility from the scanner developers. Therefore, if this point was not taken into account at the stage of writing software for the scanner, which is important for older devices that are not supported by the manufacturer, then public access to such a scanner cannot be organized.

The technical documentation for the MFP should contain all the necessary information regarding the use of the peripheral device, including over a local network. If there is no such data or it is difficult for the user to understand it, this instruction will come to the rescue. It shows, using an example, how to connect and configure a scanner in the Windows operating system in order to scan documents over a network.

In our case, we used a PC with Windows 7 and an HP scanner. XnView and Blind Scanner were used as accompanying software to open public access to the scanner.
