Depending on the device that will be connected to the Wi-Fi enabled scanner, you can change the network mode of the scanner.  The two connection methods are:

• AP (Access Point) mode – The scanner operates without another wireless access point. A 1-to-1 connection can be established between the scanning device and the smart device

• Station mode – The scanner operates as a wireless device.  In this mode, a separate wireless access point device is necessary for the scanner to connect to the smart device

- Confirm that the Wi-Fi communication function of the Wi-Fi enabled scanning device is switched on and is ready.

- Choose between the two connections methods (AP mode and Station mode).

- When you select Station mode please check that your Wi-Fi enabled scanning device and your smart device are connected to the same Access Point.

- When you select AP mode please check that your smart device is connected to your Wi-Fi enabled scanning device.

5. What should I do if Wi-Fi connection is lost during scanning?

When the Wi-Fi connection is lost while transferring a scanned image from the scanner to the PC, a ‘corrupted’ (scan image) may remain in the PC.  Delete the partially scanned image using the scanning application, and rescan.
