Placing Standard Size Originals
1. Open the input tray and extend the input tray extension. Slide out the output tray, extend the output tray
extension, and then raise the stopper.
Note:
❏For A4 size or larger originals, make sure you pull out and extend the input tray extension.
❏Make sure you pull out and extend the output tray extensions so that they are a little bit longer than the length of the
original, and raise the stopper so that the ejected originals can be stacked comfortably on the output tray.
❏e stopper can move forward and backward on the output tray extension so that you can easily adjust the stopper
position to the best position for the originals being scanned.
❏If thick originals bump into the output tray and fall from it, store the output tray and do not use it to stack the
ejected originals.
❏If scanned images are still aected by ejected originals hitting the surface below the scanner, we recommend placing
the scanner on the edge of a table where the ejected originals can drop freely and you can catch them.
2. Slide the edge guides on the input tray all the way out.

there can be holes within 30 mm (1.2 inches) from the leading edge of the originals. Make sure that the edges of the
punch holes do not have burrs or curls.
❏When scanning thin paper with crinkles that are causing paper jams or double feeds, you may be able to improve the
situation by pressing the (Slow Mode) button to slow down the feeding speed. Pressing the (Slow Mode)
button once slows down the paper feeding speed; press it again to return to normal speed.

❏To guarantee scanning quality, the scanning speed for long paper is slowed down automatically.
❏Support the long paper at the input side so that it does not drop out of the ADF, and the output side so that the

Network Connection Types
You can use the following connection methods.
Wi-Fi Connection
Connect the scanner and the computer or smart device to the wireless router. is is the typical connection
method for home or oce networks where computers are connected by Wi-Fi through the wireless router.
AP Mode Connection
Use this connection method when you are not using Wi-Fi at home or at the oce, or when you want to connect
the scanner and the smart device directly. In this mode, the scanner acts as an access point and you can connect up
to four devices to the scanner without having to use a standard access point. However, devices directly connected
to the scanner cannot communicate with each other through the scanner.
Note:
AP mode is a connection method designed to replace Ad Hoc mode.
e scanner can be connected by Wi-Fi and AP mode simultaneously. However, if you start a network connection
in AP mode when the scanner is connected by Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi is temporarily disconnected.

Important:
When you connect from a smart device to the scanner using the AP mode connection, the scanner is connected to
the same Wi-Fi network (SSID) as the smart device and communication is established between them. Since the
smart device is automatically connected to other connectable Wi-Fi networks if the scanner is turned o, it is not
connected to the previous Wi-Fi network again if the scanner is turned on. Connect to the scanner’s SSID in AP
mode from the smart device again. If you do not want to connect every time you turn the scanner on or o, we
recommend using a Wi-Fi network by connecting the scanner to an access point.

Connecting to the Network
You can connect to the network with a static IP address by using the installer on the soware disc.
Before Making Network Connection
To connect to the network, check the connection method and setting information for connection in advance.
Gathering Information on the Connection Setting
Prepare the necessary setting information to connect. Check the following information in advance.
Divisions Items Note
Network connection
information
❏IP address
❏Subnet mask
❏Default gateway
Decide the IP address to assign to the scanner.
When you assign the IP address statically, all values are required.
When you assign the IP address dynamically using the DHCP function,
this information is not required because it is set automatically.
Wi-Fi connection
information
❏SSID
❏Password
These are the SSID (network name) and the password of the access
point that the scanner connects to.
If MAC address ltering has been set, register the MAC address of the
scanner in advance to register the scanner.
See the following for the supported standards.
“Network Specications” on page 167
DNS server information ❏IP address for
primary DNS
❏IP address for
secondary DNS
These are required when specifying DNS servers. The secondary DNS
is set when the system has a redundant conguration and there is a
secondary DNS server.
If you are in a small organization and do not set the DNS server, set
the IP address of the router.
Proxy server
information
❏Proxy server name Set this when your network environment uses the proxy server to
access the internet from the intranet, and you use the function that
the scanner directly accesses to the internet.
The scanner connects directly to the Internet to update the rmware.
Port number
information
❏Port number to
release
Check the port number used by the scanner and computer, then
release the port that is blocked by a rewall, if necessary.
See the following for the port number used by the scanner.
“Using Port for the Scanner” on page 167
IP Address Assignment
ese are the following types of IP address assignment.
Static IP address:
Assign the predetermined IP address to the scanner (host) manually.

Before Making Network Connection

e information to connect to the network (subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server and so on) need to be set
manually.
e IP address does not change even when the device is turned o, so this is useful when you want to manage
devices with an environment where you cannot change the IP address or you want to manage devices using the IP
address. We recommend settings to the scanner, server, etc. that many computers access. Also, when using security
features such as IPsec / IP ltering, assign a xed IP address so that the IP address does not change.
Automatic assignment by using DHCP function (dynamic IP address):
Assign the IP address automatically to the scanner (host) by using the DHCP function of the DHCP server or
router.
