1.Before Setting Up the Scanner
Before setting up the scanner, you need to move it to the installation site, and connect the AC adaptor and network cable.
❏Installation Location
The performance of this scanner is affected by the 
environment in which it is installed. Make sure that the 
location where the scanner is installed meets the following 
environmental requirements.
●Provide adequate space around the scanner for 
operation, maintenance, and ventilation.
●Avoid installing the machine in direct sunlight. If 
this is unavoidable, use curtains to shade the 
scanner.
●Avoid locations where a considerable amount of 
dust accumulates.
●Avoid warm or humid locations, such as in the 
vicinity of a water faucet, water heater, or 
humidifier, and avoid locations where the fumes 
from ammonia, paint thinner, or other volatile 
chemicals may be present.
●Avoid locations that are subject to vibration.●Avoid exposing the scanner to rapid changes in 
temperature. If the room in which the scanner is 
installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets 
(condensation) may form inside the scanner. This 
may result in a noticeable degradation in scanning 
quality.
The following conditions are recommended for 
optimal scanning quality:
Room temperature: 10 °C to 32.5 °C (50 °F to 
90.5 °F)
Humidity: 20% to 80% RH
●Avoid installing the scanner near equipment that 
generates a magnetic field (e.g. speakers, 
televisions, or radios).

Under Network Settings, configure the device name and IP 
address needed to connect the scanner to a network.
IMPORTANT
 Configure network settings while the network cable is 
connected to the scanner. If the network cable is not

modify settings in the network settings screen.
 The device name is the name for the scanner used on the 
network. When changing this setting, make sure to select a 
unique name that is different from those of all other devices.
 The device name can be a combination of letters (A-Z, a-z), 
numbers (0-9), and hyphens (-) up to 15 characters long.
 The device name must begin with a letter. You cannot end the 
device name with a hyphen.
 When a DHCP server is not used to assign IP addresses, 
clear the [DHCP server Enable] check box, and enter a fixed 
address. For details, contact your network administrator.
 If the DHCP server is enabled and the DNS server and WINS 
server information is not obtained properly, clear the 
[Automatic retrieval of DNS (WINS) server] check box, and 
enter the appropriate server addresses. 
 To send image files to devices or shared folders on a different 
segment of the network, you must incorporate a computer on 
which ScanFront Service is installed onto the network.
❏Administrator Password
Set the password required to log in to [Administrator 
setting] and the Web Menu (Administrator Mode).
CAUTION
Be careful with the administrator password. If you forget the 
password, you will have to reformat the scanner, and all 
registered data will be lost.
