How do I find what computer scanner I have?

Question

How do I find what computer scanner I have?

Answer

  1. If you are attempting to identify the scanner manufacturer or model, this information is commonly found on the top or bottom of the scanner.
  2. If you are attempting to determine the scanner's interface, you must familiarize yourself with the different scanner interfaces.
  3. If you are unable to locate a manufacturer or model number of the scanner, but are able to locate a FCC identification number, it is recommended that you perform a FCC search using that number. Additional information about FCC numbers and how to search for information about a FCC number can be found on our FCC dictionary definition page.

Product listing or specifications

If you are trying to list all the specific information about your computer scanner, specifying the manufacturer, type, and model of the scanner is sufficient. For example:

Parallel OptiPro 4800 flatbed scanner

Drivers or installation

Replacement or repair

If you are trying to determine the scanner because it needs to be repaired, it is recommended you obtain an estimated repair cost on the scanner first. If the cost outweighs buying a new scanner, it is recommended you purchase a new scanner.
