Overview

The Fujitsu/Ricoh ScanSnap feature can work remotely from any location and scan directly into Property Matrix.

If you set up the scan snap in your home or office, and then want to use it from a new location, you need to first add that Wi-Fi network to be able to connect and scan documents.

Why You Need to Add a New Wi-Fi Network

The ScanSnap scanner remembers the last Wi-Fi network it was connected to. If you try to use it in a new location, you must add that network before scanning. By default, it will still try to connect to the old one.


Step 1 – Prepare Your Scanner and Computer

Before you begin, make sure that:

  • The Wi-Fi switch on the scanner is turned on.

  • You have the USB cable for your scanner.

  • Your computer is already connected to the new Wi-Fi network you want to add.

  • You have installed ScanSnap Home (or ScanSnap Manager, depending on your model). If not, download it here.


Step 2: Connect via IP Address

If your scanner does not automatically reconnect:

  1. In ScanSnap Home, go to SettingsPreferencesScanner tab.

  2. Select your scanner, then click Connect via an IP Address.

  3. Enter the scanner’s IP address (find this on the scanner’s screen or via your router settings).

  4. Click OK and confirm the connection is established.
