Configuration and Setup

3. Scanner Configuration and Setup Instructions

Your Copy scanner supports iJET technology for copy and scan-to-file functionality. The iJET
panel enables you to set options on the scanner so you can copy straight from the device
without a controller-PC and software. Furthermore, your scanner can be connected directly to
the LAN enabling it to function with other devices such as printers and PCs that are on the
same network. Finally, your scanner supports both USB device (input) and USB host (output)
interfaces for direct connection to a printer and to a PC that can control the scanner through
scan/copy software.
This wide range of connection and operation capabilities means that your scanner can be set
up in many different ways or "configurations" to match the needs of your business. For clarity,
we have termed the main configuration possibilities and their components as follows:
Configuration Type
1 Stand Alone Copier Configuration
2 Network Scan/Copy Device
3 Scan/Copy Station on Local PC
4 Combinations of the above for Multiple Functionality
This operator's guide section describes each of these configurations, including its components,
requirements and step-by-step installation instructions. Please note that combinations of the
first three configurations (present in above list as configuration nr. 4) are not only possible, but
in many cases also recommended in order to get the full range of scan-to-file and copy
functions out of your device and maximum flexibility for your business .
More on combining configurations in the section "Combining Configuration Types for
Multiple Functionality."
NOTE: About interface connection cables: Your scanner came with a number of interface
cables. Refer to the supplied document: "NOTE ON INTEFACE CABLES" for instructions on
which cables to use with your specific configuration.
