Connecting to a computer

To receive PDF/JPEG images scanned with the ScanSnap, you need to connect the mobile device to a computer.
When you start ScanSnap Connect Application, the computer and the mobile device will be connected automatically.
If the connection is not established or you want to change the computer to connect to, perform one of the following:

• Selecting from [Connect to:]
• Specifying the IP address

ATTENTION

• While searching for or connecting to a computer, the auto-lock on the mobile device will be disabled temporarily.
