The compact flash/memory card is normally used for PictBridge printing of images, not to scan to.
You scan directly to the computer.

As Daniel has mentioned, the printer will only show in the sidebar when the memory card function is activated ... being used.

I would assume that when the printer/scanner goes into a "sleep" mode when not being used then that feature disappears until it's need. When you open up scan again or use a feature that activates the card reader part, that's
when it shows up.
It's not really using it as a "shared device" like a hard drive or another
computer, it's just giving access to the card reader part.
So, like most printers these days, when somethings not used or not needed, it puts it into a sleep mode to save power (otherwise people complain about how much power it uses,..why is it always on,..etc etc) the companies try to
save power where they can.
I'm assuming that's why it would appear and disappear.
As it doesn't have a hard drive or anything installed in it, it's not needed
all the time.
The Time Capsule sort of does the same thing. Although you can see the drive in the Sidebar, once you access it, you have to wait a few seconds while the drive spins up and is ready to use. The Airprt TimeCapsule is "always there" just if the drive isn't needed all the time, then it spins down to save
power.
I would imagine this would be a similar feature.

Without looking through the manual, or googling for an answer, that would be
my assumption anyway.

Kind Regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel, I have had the Compact Flash card installed for 4 months
straight in the Epson printer, I never take it out. I use it as on board memory for the purpose of storing scanned images for subsequent pick ups
from either the Macbook or the wirelessly connected HP laptop on the
same network. Still puzzled why sometimes the printer appears on the
Macbook sidebar and sometimes not.



Regards



Peter...

The Epson printer will show up when you have a memory card installed and
one of the settings within epson says something like "memory card
sharing enabled" (don't have full Internet access at moment so bit hard
to find on iPhone). But it's one setting you will havecenabled.

That's why it "only shows up sometimes", ie the times there is a memory
card in the printer.



Kind regards

Ok, those tips are good. I tested a "scan to Computer" and the
Pictures window pops up with direction to the image. No problems there. But right now I see "epsonf64e68" in the sidebar. When I scan an image
to the memory card inserted into the printer CF slot, I go to the
"epsonf64e68" in the sidebar and then browse to the memory card within
the Epson printer. I then pick it up that way. I see that "Scan to
Printer" is more sensible if I am trying to get it to the Macbook
anyway. However, the printer is still noted in the sidebar - but not
always. I took Neil Houghton's advice about Finder preferences and have implicitly followed those, but there was nothing to change, as they were
all set per his recommendations.





Hmmm, interesting..



Peter.

Hi Peter,

I have a Macbook (with Snow Leopard) wirelessly connected to a

inserted in the CF slot of the Epson and am unable to browse to it to
pick up the resultant PDF from the scan.



You scanned to the Memory Card, the file is saved to the Memory
Card.

If you scan to your computer, the file is saved to the computer.







There are times when I do see the printer there as a
Shared Device and no problem browsing in those instances - but I cant
figure why it is there sometimes and not other times.



Is there a setting I have missed or is a reboot required
somewhere?



Thanks for any experiences anyone here has.



As far as I know the Epson TX710W shouldn't show in the Sidebar
under "Shared" of a Finder Window.

The sidebar is where you can access commonly used items,
including volumes, folders, applications, and documents.



The TX710W is not a mountable volume. It is shared for Printing
& Scanning, not for accessing from the Finder like a shared volume.



My TX700W never shows in the sidebar under Shared.
