Before starting
Two types of wireless mode
ScanSnap can be connected to a computer or mobile device via either of the following Wireless modes.
Access Point Connect mode
If you can connect a computer or mobile device to a wireless access point, you can connect ScanSnap
via the same wireless access point.
In the following cases, you cannot connect ScanSnap in Access Point Connect mode. In such case, try
to connect ScanSnap in Direct Connect mode.
- When you cannot connect to the wireless access point because the wireless LAN environment
is unknown.
- When the communication is interrupted though you connect ScanSnap to the wireless access point.
- When you cannot disable a privacy separator function of the wireless access point because it exists in
a public wireless LAN environment such as an airports.
- When you are in a security protected wireless network where the wireless devices cannot
communicate mutually.
Direct Connect mode
You can connect ScanSnap directly via the wireless LAN if there is no wireless access point, or a
computer or mobile device cannot be connected to the wireless access point. Once the wireless mode
switches to the Direct Connect mode, ScanSnap will broadcast SSID in place of the wireless access
point. You can use ScanSnap in Direct Connect mode by connecting a computer or mobile device to
the SSID of the ScanSnap via Wi-Fi. However, you cannot establish internet connection or connection
between devices because there is no wireless access point function in ScanSnap.

Priority sequence of Wireless mode
The priority sequence of the wireless mode at the time when a computer or mobile device is connected
to ScanSnap is as follows:
1 Access Point Connect mode
2 Direct Connect mode
If a wireless access point has already been registered to ScanSnap, the ScanSnap searches the
registered wireless access point first when connecting in Access Point Connect mode. When the
wireless access point cannot be detected, the ScanSnap switches to Direct Connect mode. Once the
wireless mode is switched to Direct Connect mode, the ScanSnap does not switch back to Access Point
Connect mode even if the registered wireless access point is found. In order to connect inAccess Point
Connect mode, turn OFF the ScanSnap, and turn it ON again.
Hint
You can select the wireless mode to either Access Point Connect mode or Direct Connect mode with
ScanSnap Wireless Setup Tool. Refer to below for more details.
