Connecting to iX500

To receive PDF/JPEG images scanned with iX500, you need to connect the mobile device to iX500.
When you start up ScanSnap Connect Application, iX500 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 iX500, the auto-lock on the mobile device will be disabled temporarily.
  It is recommended to exit ScanSnap Connect Application or manually lock the mobile device once the operation is completed.
• Once your mobile device is connected to iX500, the computer will be disconnected from iX500.
• To save the scanned image in the computer, disconnect the mobile device from iX500 first, then perform a scan.
• If iX500 is left unused for more than 15 minutes after it is connected to your mobile device, the mobile device will be disconnected automatically from iX500.
• When an event (e-mail arrival, alarm, power shortage, etc.) is notified, the mobile device will be disconnected from iX500.
• No iX500 may be detected when communication between wireless devices is disabled by an option such as privacy separator.
  In that case, change the setting on the wireless access point to allow communication between wireless devices.
  For the setting on the wireless access point, refer to the manual of the wireless access point that you are using.
