Connecting to scanner through wireless router

I bought a new computer and am having trouble connecting to my home scanner.  My old machine was a Windows XP Pro and I had a friend set up the scanner folder for me.  Naturally, I didn't take notes.  I'm now using Windows 7 Pro and although I can print wirelessly, I cannot figure out how to set up the connection to the scanner.  The multi-function machine is a Kyocera Mita CS-1650.  I'm getting my internet signal through Hughes satellite and have an Asus wireless router attached to the Hughes device.  That's about everything I can think of.  Thanks in advance for your help.

@findoutnow: I assume I already have the drivers since I'm able to print...right?
@joelsplace: yes, I scan on the device then go view the scanned images on my laptop (which is connected wirelessly through the Asus router).  So how do I set up the folder/tell the scanner how to find it, etc?

Thanks All!  I'm out of time to resolve this now for a week or so but will follow up when I can get back to it...
I may not have mentioned that I am also in the process of re-establishing a tunnel to my office network.  The Asus router wasn't capable and I've replaced it with a Netgear VPN router...and hired onsite help.  This was slightly above my knowledge level and taking more time to figure out than I can currently afford.  Thanks to all that posted responses to my questions.  Although I'm paying for onsite support you guys reaffirmed my EE account is well worth the $$$.
