Epson Network Scan Module
The Epson Network Scan Module is a purpose-built upgrade for WorkForce document scanners that elevates how you capture and share documents across your network. By replacing your scanner’s front control panel with a compact, plug-and-play module, this solution removes the need to interact with a local panel and instead provides streamlined, network-based scanning right from your desktop or shared workstations. Designed for busy offices and home offices alike, the Network Scan Module unlocks faster workflows, centralized management, and reliable delivery of scanned data to email, folders, or cloud destinations. If you’re looking to modernize your scanning setup, this module is a smart, space-efficient choice that minimizes downtime and keeps your team focused on getting documents processed quickly.
- Seamless control-panel replacement: By swapping out the scanner’s front control panel with the Network Scan Module, you enable convenient network-based scanning without sacrificing the familiar scanning experience. The module works in concert with your existing WorkForce document scanners to maintain a consistent user workflow while expanding capabilities beyond the local panel.
- Easy, tool-assisted installation: The module comes with a screwdriver and all necessary hardware to unlock and replace the scanner’s front panel. With a few simple steps—unscrew the front panel, disconnect the old interface, and attach the Module—you can deploy network scanning in minutes, not hours. This straightforward upgrade minimizes downtime and allows IT teams to standardize setups across multiple workstations.
- Enhanced productivity and collaboration: Once installed, the Network Scan Module enables fast routing of scanned documents to network destinations such as shared drives, FTP servers, SMB paths, or configured email accounts. This eliminates the need to physically transfer files via USB or rely on local PCs, reducing bottlenecks and accelerating document capture and distribution across teams.
- Robust compatibility with WorkForce scanners: Built to integrate with Epson WorkForce document scanners that support module replacements, the Network Scan Module preserves the familiar scanning interfaces while unlocking network-centric features. This compatibility helps protect existing investments and simplifies future upgrades within your scanner fleet.
- Security, reliability, and centralized management: By centralizing network scan destinations and reducing reliance on local control panels, the module supports more secure, auditable scanning workflows. Administrators can configure destinations, apply access controls, and monitor scan activity from the network, improving compliance and reducing the risk of unauthorized data transfer.
