About This Guide 1-1
1. About This Guide
This guide explains how to maintain and operate your wide format copy (iJET) scanner and its
iJET Panel. The guide assumes basic knowledge of other optional configuration components
such as printer, computer and operating system and does not repeat material from their
documentation.
Be sure to refer to:
•The Installation Guide – accessed from the menu on the WIDEsystem TOOLS CD-ROM
– describes installation of your driver if interfacing your scanner with a PC.
•The readme.htm file in the ws folder on the WIDEsystem TOOLS CD-ROM – contains the
most current installation and OS compatibility issues.
•WIDEsystem TOOLS Help – Press F1 after installing and opening WIDEsystem. –
Contains information on using the WIDEsystem application, Scan2Net functionality and
Scanner Maintenance software if interfacing your scanner with a PC.
Scope
This guide covers installation, operation and maintenance of your scanner. The guide covers
only copying and scanning operation through the iJET Panel.
The scanner can also be operated and controlled though compatible scan and copy software
installed on a PC that is either directly connected with the scanner or on the same network.
While this guide will provide instructions on setting up the scanner with a PC, it will not describe
in detail how to operate the scanner from that PC. Operation of scan and copy software is not
within the scope of this guide. Please refer to the software’s documentation and on-line help for
instructions on using the specific software application with the scanner.
Identify your scanner model icon
This operator’s guide covers several scanner models, although there are individual differences
between the models. Use the guide’s scanner type icons to direct you to descriptions about
your specific scanner model. Topics describing scanner functions that apply solely for specific
models will be marked with one or several of the icons shown in the table below. Topics
describing functions that apply for all models will be marked with all the icons.
Before proceeding, identify the icon that applies to your scanner model. You can then use the
icon throughout this guide to find the function description that applies for your specific scanner.
If in doubt as to which icon refers to your scanner model, see the Model ID on the sticker on the
back of the scanner. Models not listed in the table below are not within the scope of this guide.

3. Scanner Configuration and Setup Instructions
Your Copy scanner supports iJET technology for copy and scan-to-file functionality. The iJET
panel enables you to set options on the scanner so you can copy straight from the device
without a controller-PC and software. Furthermore, your scanner can be connected directly to
the LAN enabling it to function with other devices such as printers and PCs that are on the
same network. Finally, your scanner supports both USB device (input) and USB host (output)
interfaces for direct connection to a printer and to a PC that can control the scanner through
scan/copy software.
This wide range of connection and operation capabilities means that your scanner can be set
up in many different ways or “configurations” to match the needs of your business. For clarity,
we have termed the main configuration possibilities and their components as follows:
Configuration Type Components - Description
1 Stand Alone Copier Configuration Scanner connected directly (no PC) to one or two printers.
2 Network Scan/Copy Device
Scanner connected directly (no PC) to the network. The
scanner is set up to be recognized on the network by
network PCs and also setup to recognize/use network PCs
as scan targets. The scanner is setup to use network
printers.
3 Scan/Copy Station on Local PC Scanner connected to a PC through USB interface.
Scan/copy software is installed on the PC.
4 Combinations of the above for Multiple Functionality
The scanner is connected to a local PC and a local printer.
The scanner is also connected directly to the network in
order to be shared by network PCs and to use network
PCs as scan targets. The scanner can also use network
printers.
This operator’s guide section describes each of these configurations, including its components,
requirements and step-by-step installation instructions. Please note that combinations of the
first three configurations (present in above list as configuration nr. 4) are not only possible, but
in many cases also recommended in order to get the full range of scan-to-file and copy
functions out of your device and maximum flexibility for your business .
More on combining configurations in the section “Combining Configuration Types for
Multiple Functionality.”
NOTE: About interface connection cables: Your scanner came with a number of interface
cables. Refer to the supplied document: “NOTE ON INTEFACE CABLES” for instructions on
which cables to use with your specific configuration.
All the configurations described in the following sections apply…
