Specifying a Network Name (SSID) to Establish a Connection with the ScanSnap Directly (iX1300/iX100)

This section describes how to connect the ScanSnap, which is connected with the network after the wireless network setup is complete, to a computer or mobile device directly.

If you specify the network name (SSID) of the ScanSnap as the network destination for the computer or mobile device, the computer or mobile device can be connected directly to the ScanSnap without using a wireless access point.

ATTENTION

Check that the ScanSnap is in Direct Connect mode beforehand.
