Using the Scan Management snap-in, you can view the properties for scanners on your network. Scanners must support Web Services on Devices (WSD). For a list of scanner requirements, see Understanding Web Services Scanners.
You are able to view detailed information such as device properties, file formats supported, scan resolutions supported, color processing, film scan modes, and other information. In addition, you can also see scanned document history, such as number of pages scanned, time and date of scans, scan processes selected, and user logon information.
