From: Harry de Huisvlieg on 19 Apr 2010 14:03 Hi, I'm using a web application (for online declaration of healthcare costs). It is possible to scan invoices from a scanning device, but several reasons my scanner is not connected to any computer. I scan to a SD-card but the web app does not allow me to upload the scanned file. Is there a (free) app that emulates a scanner device and that takes my already scanned (jpg-) file as input? I needs to run in Windows XP ? Frank
From: Jethro Pull on 28 Apr 2010 10:12 Someone here is probably going to suggest a much more "elegant" solution, but here's mine: Simply put the scan on the card and then plug the card into a USB card readiing device plugged into your computer. The card reader costs about $20 to $25US and installs easily. Open the files on the card device and your scans should be available to place on your computer. A scanner that does not connect to a computer? Interesting. What does the scanner manufacturer web site have to say about this non-connectivity?

The USB scanner/printer is connected to a network disk that also acts as printer server. Unfortunately is the scanning functionality of the usb scanner/printer no longer available because the network disk only has a printer server and not a scanner server. My scanner allow me to scan directly to sd card but the web application only support direct scanning from a connected (usb-)scanner using TWAIN. It does not allow me to upload jpg's/png's etc etc. Unbelievable but that's the situation now. So, if I could fake a windows scanner device that supports TWAIN and takes a already scanned file as input I would have a some-kind-of hybrid workaround.. Frank
From: Jethro Pull on 28 Apr 2010 16:26 Frank, or Harry (you live in Iceland? That last name has my brain spinning.), your setup is completely beyond my experience. I wonder if there's someone in your shop, the IT guy or the computer supplier who might be of help. :-[ On 4/28/2010 12:38 PM, Harry de Huisvlieg wrote: > Jethro Pull wrote: >> Someone here is probably going to suggest a much more "elegant" >> solution, but here's mine: >> >> Simply put the scan on the card and then plug the card into a USB >> card readiing device plugged into your computer.
