printer connects to iMac via wifi but scanner does not. How to fix?

My Epson WF-3640 printer connects to my mac via a wifi network but I've lost the scanner connection. How can I get the scanner to connect? The scanner doesn't show up in the list of available items to connect.

Xerox 6515 scanner not working in Mac Image Capture My Xerox 6515 Wifi connection is broken so I moved to a USB connection with my iMac. OS Ventura 13.2.1. The iMac recognises the printer correctly. However, the Image Capture does not recognise the Xerox 6515 as a scanner. I have updated the printer drivers. Very frustrating and would appreciate any tips on how to fix this problem which should be quite basic. Thanks in advance

Scanner not showing up in options to Scan to Mac, though I can print to the Epson printer-scanner-fax machine After having trouble getting my Espon printer-scanner-fax machine to not hook up to the Mac, resolve that issue with help from the community. Now, though the printer is showing up, it will not let me scan from the printer as my Mac does not show up as one of the computer options in the apps in computer options screen. Any suggestions as to how I can get the Epson printer-scanner-fax machine to recognize my Mac so that I can scan to the Mac?

The user may require Epson Drivers for that Scanner aspect of this Printer

Be sure to choose the same version of macOS as is used on this computer
