devices within a network environment with IP addresses, so there is no need to manually set an IP address for the scanner.
l Please make sure there is an active Internet connection while using the scanner. The
scanner requires access to the Internet to retrieve the date and time.
l When saving scanned documents to a computer or mobile device, the scanner and
the target device must be on the same segment of the network.
l The actual wireless data transmission speed varies depending on the wireless LAN
environment in which you use this device. Other electrical devices (e.g. microwave oven), a large distance, obstruction, or interferences between the participating devices and the wireless access point/router can cause the data transmission to slow down or not be possible at all.
