FAQ

Q: Which scanners are compatible with ScanBridge?

A: ScanBridge works with virtually any network-connected scanner or multifunction printer that implements the eSCL (AirScan) protocol. Most modern business-class network scanners and MFPs from major vendors support AirScan out of the box. If your device advertises eSCL or AirScan compatibility, it should pair seamlessly with ScanBridge without additional drivers.

Q: Do I need to install drivers or additional software on my Android device?

A: No. One of ScanBridge’s key advantages is that it communicates directly with eSCL‐compatible scanners over your local network. There’s no need to install manufacturer-specific drivers, helper tools, or background services. After granting the minimal Internet permission, you’re ready to discover and use your scanner right away.

Q: How does ScanBridge find my scanner on the network?

A: ScanBridge uses standard network discovery protocols to automatically detect AirScan/eSCL‐capable scanners on the same Wi-Fi or LAN. As soon as you open the app, it begins searching for compatible devices and lists them in a user-friendly directory. There is no requirement for manual IP entry or network configuration, making the initial setup quick and painless.
