Configure Wi-Fi Scanner
Please make sure to fully charge the scanner. Then power on and configure the scanner before connecting it to your
remote host.
Please refer to FuzzyScan Wi-Fi CORDLESSS Quick Start Guide for details.
Connect the Wi-Fi Scanner
Before you connect the Wi-Fi scanner to a remote host, you have to create a correct Wi-Fi profile for the Wi-Fi
connection. There are two ways to create Wi-Fi profiles. The easy way is to use the scanner “SETUP” to create a new
profile. If you want to create multiple profiles at the same time, you may consider using Cino FuzzyScan Wi-Fi
PowerTool.
Once you collected all required information for network setting, please follow the steps below to establish the connection
between the Wi-Fi scanner and the remote host.
Ensure the scanner is activated within radio range then enter “SETUP” from the Desktop main menu. Select “Wi-Fi
Profiles”, then press “New” (L key) to add a Wi-Fi Profile. Select “Auto Search”, the scanner will perform
“Searching” to find out all discoverable Access Points and Independent Wireless Hosts, and provide you a list.
For “Infrastructure” mode, select a suitable AP which is able to connect to your remote host then complete the
profile setting. If you want to build a peer-to-peer connection by using Ad-Hoc mode, please select your desired
remote host then complete the profile setting as well.

clicks and the link indicator of scanner will flash blue quickly during connecting process.
