Connecting To The Eye-Fi Direct Mode Network - Xerox Mobile Scanner User Manual

Connecting to the Eye-Fi Direct Mode Network

The Eye-Fi card has the ability to create a network access point, for your to connect your mobile device, to receive
images when you are not in range of your wireless network. When a Wi-Fi network is unavailable to transfer images,
images can be transferred wirelessly from the Eye-Fi card to a mobile device. This is referred to as Direct Mode.
After you connect to the Eye-Fi Direct Mode network as described below, you will not need to follow these
instructions again unless you intentionally remove the Eye-Fi network from you mobile device.
While going through these instructions you will be configuring the Eye-Fi Card settings using the Eye-Fi Center
application on your computer, and configuring the mobile application on your mobile device.
Tip: the scanner automatically powers off after 2 minutes to conserve battery power. Tap the function button
occasionally to keep the scanner powered on while initiating the connection between your mobile device and the
scanner. Alternatively, if you have a memory card reader, you can insert the Eye-Fi card into the card reader for
configuring the connection between your mobile device and the Eye-Fi card's Direct Mode network.

2. With the Eye-Fi card in the scanner, connect the scanner to the computer and turn on the power.

settings for your Eye-Fi card.
