Connecting a Mobile Device by Moving It Close to the ScanSnap (ScanSnap Go)
ScanSnap Go is a feature that allows anyone to easily connect a mobile device to a ScanSnap that is available in a public space or other on-the-go locations by simply moving the mobile device close to the ScanSnap.
When ScanSnap Go is used to connect a ScanSnap and a mobile device, the scan settings saved in ScanSnap Home on the mobile device are temporarily applied to the ScanSnap.
When scanning documents, you can use the scan settings saved in ScanSnap Home on the mobile device just as they are, without changing them.
When the ScanSnap is disconnected from the mobile device, the scan settings that were saved as a profile in the ScanSnap are deleted, which ensures security.
To save images of scanned documents directly to a cloud service, you must create a ScanSnap account and register your ScanSnap with ScanSnap Home.
