By connecting the ScanSnap to a computer or a mobile device via wireless LAN, you can scan documents.

iX1300/iX100

Select one of the following wireless modes to connect the ScanSnap to the computer or mobile device.

  • Access Point Connect mode

    When a wireless LAN environment has already been configured, the ScanSnap and the computer or mobile device are connected via a wireless access point.

  • Direct Connect mode

    When a wireless LAN environment has not been configured or the ScanSnap cannot establish a connection to a wireless access point, the ScanSnap and the computer or mobile device are connected directly via wireless LAN.

For iX100, the wireless mode automatically switches to the Access Point Connect mode or the Direct Connect mode in accordance with the wireless LAN environment where the ScanSnap is used.

When the ScanSnap is turned on, it is connected to the wireless access point that was set in the ScanSnap Wireless Setup Tool. If no wireless access point is detected, the mode is switched to the Direct Connect mode.

  • When the wireless access point that was set in the ScanSnap Wireless Setup Tool is detected, even if the wireless access point is not connectable, the mode is not switched from the Access Point Connect mode to the Direct Connect mode.

    To switch the mode to the Direct Connect mode, turn off the ScanSnap and then turn it on again in an environment in which no wireless access point is detected.

  • Even if the wireless access point that was set in the ScanSnap Wireless Setup Tool is detected after the mode is switched to the Direct Connect mode, the mode is still not switched to the Access Point Connect mode.

    To connect the ScanSnap in Access Point Connect mode, turn off the ScanSnap and then turn it on again.
