The firewall on your computer might prevent the computer
from connecting to the machine. You need to configure the
firewall settings to allow connection between them.
• When using the configuration utility (Set the IP Address):
If you cannot search the machine when using configuration
utility "Set the IP Address", you need to disable the firewall
during the setting. For information on disabling the firewall,
refer to the manual or online help of your operating system
or firewall software.
• When using the connection utility (SC-Scan A):
If you cannot search the machine when using the
connection utility "SC-Scan A", you need to add SC-Scan A
and UDP port number "19540" to the firewall exception list.
For information on adding SC-Scan A and UDP port number
"19540" to the firewall exception list, refer to the manual or
online help of your operating system or firewall software.
If you need to reconfigure the network settings of the machine,
follow the procedure below.
1 Reset the network settings of the machine to the
factory default. For details on resetting the network
settings of the machine, see "HOW TO MANUALLY
RESET THE NETWORK SETTINGS OF THE
MACHINE".
2. Set up the initial settings for the machine from the
software utility on the accessory CD-ROM. For details,
see the Start Guide.
The device server allows you to use the scanner function of
the machine over a network. Note that multiple computers
cannot connect to the scanner function of the machine at the
same time.
Supported operating systems are Windows 2000, Windows
XP and Windows Vista. TCP/IP needs to be available.
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX wired network interface is
supported.
Auto Negotiation is supported and the network is
automatically detected by connecting the network cable.
The major difference is whether the connection to the
scanner/printer function of the machine from the computers
on the network is 1:1 basis (device server) or 1:n basis (print
server).
SC-Scan A establishes a connection to the scanner function
and enables you to use it as if it was connected locally to your
computer. Therefore, if the scanner function is accessed by a
computer (in use by another user), the scanner function
cannot be shared with other computers.
