Add Network Scanner ((new))

Furthermore, the method of addition determines the scanner's functionality. Adding a scanner via native operating system drivers often provides basic "scan-to-image" or "scan-to-PDF" capabilities. However, to unlock advanced features—such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR), direct scan-to-email, or integration with document management systems (DMS)—users frequently need to add the scanner using proprietary software provided by manufacturers like Brother, Fujitsu, or HP. This software creates a more intelligent bridge, allowing the scanned document to be routed directly into a specific workflow, such as an accounting folder or a cloud storage service like SharePoint.
