About Wi-Fi Connections

Connect the device to an access point or directly to a computer according to the network environment.

Network modes

Depending on the device that will be connected to the scanner via Wi-Fi, you can change the network mode of the scanner as follows.
Network mode Description
The scanner operates without another wireless access point. A 1-to-1 connection can be established between the
AP mode
scanner and the computer.
The scanner operates as a wireless device. In this mode, a separate wireless access point device is necessary for the
Station mode
scanner to connect to the computer.
