    Patent number: 6668293
    Abstract: An auto-registration method for scanners. The method includes implanting a serial number into a scanner. When the scanner operates, the serial number is automatically retrieved. If the scanner is linked to a network, the serial number is transmitted to a documentary file inside a registration center through the net. On the other hand, if the scanner is not connected to a network, other data transmission means can be used to carry out the registration. According to the registered information, various post-registration services are executed.
