About this Product
The Wi-Fi function in this scanner (IEEE 802.11b/g/n compatible,
2.4 GHz) supports scanning operations via wireless connection to a
computer.
By connecting this scanner to an access point in a network
environment, it can be used by any computer in the same network.
The scanner is very simple to connect if the access point supports
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup).

Network mode Description
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 computer.
AP mode The scanner operates without another wireless access
point. A 1-to-1 connection can be established between the
scanner and the computer.
Connecting via a wireless access point (station mode connection)
Connection to the scanner can be
made using the wireless settings of the
computer connected to the wireless
LAN access point.
See "Connecting Using the Wireless
Settings on the Computer" on p.6
If the wireless access point is WPS-
compatible, connection to the scanne‘r
can be made using the WPS feature.
See "Connecting using the WPS
function" on p.11

If the access point does not supports
the WPS function, make the access
point settings manually to establish
connections.
See "Connecting to a Specified Access
Point" on p.16
1-to-1 connection (AP mode connection)
Search for the scanner and connect to it
using your computer's wireless
connections feature.
See "Connecting using the AP Mode"
on p.23
Search for and connect to the scanner
from a smart device (smart phone or
tablet).
See "How to Connect Smart Devices"
on p.24
The scanner can be shared with multiple computers on the
same network via the access point, although only one can
connect to the scanner at a time.
The scanner's Wi-Fi and USB connections cannot both be
used at the same time. When connecting with Wi-Fi, the
scanner cannot be used by a computer connected via USB
cable.
When using a Wi-Fi connection, scanning is slower than with
