Recovery Recovery Hard Disk / Solid State Disk Software Failure The file system and the Linux operating system of a Scan2Net scanner are very robust and forgiving. The file system has the ability to repair itself, even if the system loses power during a disk write operation, a condition which will almost certainly corrupt any Windows, Android or MAC OS based computer.
➢ Make sure that you know the scanner’s IP address, subnet and gateway valid for the network or have the network administrator available. ➢ Login to the Image Access Customer Service Portal at http://portal.imageaccess.de and obtain the latest firmware for your device.
Page 83
Recovery Recovery Process 1 The recovery procedure is a simple multistage process. Step Action 2.1 - Scanner with recovery key Wait until the scanner has powered down, then plug in the recovery key to the DB9 connector on the rear side of the scanner.
Page 84
Recovery Step Action 5 - All scanners The recovery procedure starts automatically. It replaces the corrupted content of Scan2Net Linux partition with the content of the recovery partition. This process takes about 10 - 15 minutes. At the end, it powers down the scanner.
Recovery Recovery Process 2 - Update Scanner Firmware Step Action In case the currently installed firmware of the scanner is not the latest version, connect the scanner via a web browser. Select "Setup Device". Login in as "Poweruser" with the user name "Poweruser" and the corresponding password.
Maintenance Maintenance Ensure that no liquids penetrate the device housing. Touchscreen The touchscreen can be cleaned with a microfiber cloth. Before cleaning the touchscreen, switch the scanner off and set the main power switch to position 0. Surfaces Use a soft, dampened cloth to clean the housing of the scanner. Recommended is a micro fiber cloth.
Maintenance Cleaning the Glass Plate It is recommended to clean the glass plate periodically to ensure constant good scan results. To clean the glass plate, lift up the glass cover. Use the microfiber cloth which is delivered with the scanner or a fluff-free cloth.
