Description

Depending on which scanner you have, you can connect the scanner either by USB or LAN (network).

Solution

  • Before connecting the scanner to the computer, verify that the power of the scanner is OFF. If the power is ON, turn it OFF.
  • Only use the supplied power cord.
  1. Connect the supplied power cord into the power connector on the back of the scanner. (1)
     
  2. Connect the power cord into an AC Outlet. (2)

Connecting to a Computer

The scanner supports either USB connection or wired LAN connection. The scanner automatically recognizes the connection method when the USB cable or the LAN cable is connected.

  • This connection method remains effective until the power to the scanner is turned off. To change the connection method, disconnect the cable, restart the scanner, and connect the other cable.
  • When the scanner starts up, if both the USB and the LAN cable are connected, the USB connection takes precedence.

     

Connecting via USB

Use the included USB cable to connect to the computer.


Do not connect the scanner to the computer before installing the software.

The end of the USB cable with the square plug (Type B) connects to the scanner. The other end with the flat plug (Type A) connects to the USB port on the computer.

 

Connecting via wired Lan

Use a LAN cable to connect the scanner to a wired LAN router.

  • The computer needs to be connected to the router via wired or wireless LAN.
  • The router and LAN cable are not included, and must be provided separately.
  • The scanner supports DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). A DHCP server in the network environment provides IP addresses that can be automatically acquired, eliminating the need to specify an IP address for the scanner.
  • If you must specify a fixed IP address for the scanner, such as when using it on a network without a DHCP server, you can specify a static IP address on the operation panel or from the Web Menu. Click here to go to an article that explains how to add a static IP address.
  • When connecting via wired LAN, the optional flatbed scanner cannot be used.
