A scanner management apparatus to manage processing of image information scan-generated by one of multiple scanners connectable to a network includes a session establishment unit to establish a network session with one of the scanners in response to a session request from the scanner; a transmission support determination unit to determine whether a session-established scanner supports transmission of the scan-generated image information via the network; a driver checking unit to determine whether a driver matched to the session-established scanner is installed in the scanner management apparatus when the partner scanner does not support transmission of the scan-generated image information to the scanner management apparatus via the network; and a driver activation unit to activate the driver matched to the partner scanner to obtain the scan-generated image information generated by the partner scanner when the driver matched to the partner scanner is installed in the scanner management apparatus. |
