Hello, we are not able to start the scanner. Can we use only wifi connection without card, or do we need to buy a card in addition? Is there a service provider in Bulgaria, who can come to our facility and help us? Thank you in advance.

The M3 Orange scanner can be used with a Wi-Fi connection. You can enable WLAN from the taskbar and connect to an access point using the Summit Client Utility without needing a separate card.
