Sharing a Scanner Over a Network in Windows 10

I have a home network with a few computers and one scanner that I want to share among all devices. While I have successfully found instructions to share files and printers, I am encountering difficulties when sharing a device that is neither a file nor a printer, such as my scanner. Is there a specific method or software needed to enable network sharing of a scanner in Windows 10? What steps should I follow to ensure that all computers on my network can access and use the scanner?
