Full feature software  G-510

 

This is an older scanner and possibly this company has reverse engineered the wireless drivers.  I suspect you need to use USB,  Scanning software for older scanners. This  3rd party solution and requires a license after the trial period

Vuescan works fine, but it seems a bit expensive for only scanning an old scanner. Thanks

yes, and frequently one can get a used scanner for less than their license fee.  I have also seen evidence that key generators to bypass their license contain trojans.
