I was wondering...has anyone ever written an application that interacts with a device that is NOT inside of the computer? Like a photocopier, scanner, etc...?
If so, does anyone know where I can find, or figure out, what type of communication protocol is required to talk to and use a particular device?
I am attempting to replace the functionality of an unsupported application called ScanRouter V2 lite which would interact with our MFP and allow users to scan documents as PDFs and deliver them to our file server. ScanRouter V2 lite is unsupported and is so old it wont work on our computers anymore.
Any suggestions on where I might be able to find this information?
