A scanner system includes a scanner 1, computers 2 sharing the scanner 1, a network 4 connecting between them, and a scanner controlling apparatus 3 connected between the network 4 and the scanner 1. The computer 2 includes a device driver 22 to control the scanner 1 and notify the scanner controlling apparatus 3 of an event in the device driver 22, and an application (program) 21 to control the device driver 22, and transmit and receive data to and from the scanner controlling apparatus 3. The application 21 activates the device driver 22 in response to the trigger input from the scanner controlling apparatus 3. When activating, the device driver 22 receives image data from the scanner controlling apparatus 3 through the application 21. <IMAGE> |
