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.
1.1 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.
1.2 Identify your scanner model
This User’s Guide covers 2 scanner models, although there are individual differences between the
models.
The 2 model labels: FLEX50i, HD4230i will head topics and functionality descriptions.
Topics/descriptions can be specific for only one of the models. These will be headed by one of the labels.
Other topics/descriptions are general for both models. These will be headed by both labels.
Identify your scanner model and then look for its label in this guide.
Models not listed in the table below are not within the scope of this guide.

through the menu button will be marked with the button icon:
1.4 Web Access Interface or iJET Panel?
The scanner also supports an embedded web server and a file storage area. The embedded web server
provides a Web Access Interface that enables users to communicate and control the scanner from a PC
on the LAN through the PC’s web browser, thus bypassing special software and OS compatibility issues.
To access the scanner, users just start their browser and enter the scanner’s IP address.
A number of the iJET panel’s scanner setup and configuration options can be applied from the Web
Access Interface and some users may prefer this to using the iJET panel menus and buttons. The Web
Access Interface also allows simple scans to the scanners internal storage with the option to retrieve the
file
This manual will focus on setup, configuration, copy and scan through the iJET panel. If you wish
instead to use a PC and the Web Access Interface for some of these options, please refer to this
manual’s section on the “Web Access Interface”for more details.
NOTE: The scanner manufacturer will continuously add new features to the Web Access Interface
through firmware upgrades and therefore, the best way to view currently available options is by opening
the Web Access Interface currently loaded in the scanner.

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 User’s Guide section describes each of these configurations, including its components, requirements
and step-by-step installation instructions.
NOTE: The 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 can be set up with both models:

3.2 Connect the Scanner to LAN –Network Scan/Copy Device
Components: Wide format copy scanner and Local network. Peripheral devices such as PCs and printers
are setup and active on the network. The scanner will be setup to recognize PCs on the network as scan-
to-file targets. The scanner will also be setup to be recognized and accessed by PCs on the network
(sharing). The scanner will be setup to recognize and use network printers.
Usage: For copying and digitizing large format documents. For creating both printed and file (digitized)
output. Operation is from the iJET Panel (scanner) or from network PCs. Users operating from the panel
can copy to printers on the network and scan-to-file to PCs on the network. Network PCs with compatible
scan or copy software installed can “share”the scanner and use it with network printers or for scan-to-file
tasks.
System Requirements:
Wide Format Copy scanner
Compatible large format printer on the network (for copy functionality).
LAN cable connecting the scanner to the network.
