Anyone know of our Xerox 7356 scanner can be "unmarried" from our Xerox 8830 and function as a stand alone unit or will it only work in conjunction with the 8830 printer? -- Darren J.

I inquired about this a couple years ago. I was told it was possible. You would need a PC with a SCSI card and you would need to purchase some type of scanning software to talk to the scanner. The interface on the top of the scanner would not work. The software you purchase would control the scanner. At the time we were looking at upgrading our scanner to the new synergix scanner that would give us color scanning. We decided against it due to the high cost. We have since purchased a new Xerox 510 system and are shipping out old 8830 system to another office.
