      WPA2 Personal [AES] WPA/WPA2 Personal
      WPA/WPA2 Personal  

      The recommended protocol for use of our scanner is WPA/WPA2 Personal. Our scanner will first attempt WPA2 Personal [AES], then fall back to WPA Personal [TKIP]. AES is an encryption algorithm, and TKIP is an integrity check.

  • Why am I not able to communicate with the scanner?
    • If the scanner was configured with an IP address that is DHCP. There is a possibility of the DHCP address getting changed over time. To avoid this scenario, you can make the IP address static or create a DHCP reservation.

  • Why do we need to press the scan button on the scanner when connected in Wireless or Wired Network mode?
    • The scanner is designed in such a way, when a user is accessing it through USB the scan button is not required as it is dedicated to just one user.

      When using it in Wireless / Ethernet mode, the scanner can be shared among multiple users. So a session has to be locked when it’s used by an individual user. This feature enables you to confirm who the user is that holds the scanner locked before putting the document into the scanner. The scanner will display the ID of the user who has locked the scanner.

  • Why is my scanner displaying locked by user even when it not in use?
    • When Hosts initialize which have installed TWAIN drivers configured to use a i1100WN scanner the scanner will be locked a number of times as the Host boots and that application gathers data. This will take a few lock sessions per host. So if a number of Hosts sharing a scanner are rebooted etc. this behavior can be observed on the scanners OCP and that is normal.

  • Why is the EasySetup page not displayed when selecting “Generate EasySetup Sheet”?
    • Some web browsers may not display the EasySetup document, but would enable you to save the PDF to your system. Check and see if pop up blockers are enabled (turned on) in the settings for your browser. If they are enabled (ON) then disable them (turn OFF).

  • Why is there a exclamation mark displayed over the Wireless icon on my scanner?
    • If an exclamation mark is displayed over the Wireless icon, wait at least 1-2 minutes.

      • If the exclamation mark is red, the Wireless Network currently cannot be associated for any number of reasons (e.g., incorrect SSID, incorrect security key, unsupported encryption type, not ready, etc.). SSID and Security Key are case dependent.
      • If the exclamation mark is yellow, an IP address has not been assigned due to a slow or improperly configured router.

Troubleshooting

  • How can I wake up my scanner when in Sleep Mode?
    • The scanner will automatically wake up if you initiate a scan from PC or Mobile device.

      To wake up the scanner from sleep mode press any button on the scanner’s front panel or insert a paper in the input tray.

  • Why can’t I access the scanner using the scanner name?
    • The DNS does not resolve the name across subnets. You can use a DHCP reservation to avoid this issue.

  • The wireless network icon on the scanner’s OCP has an exclamation through it. How can I reconnect to the scanner?
    • Wait – few minutes based on the environment wait time can be extended.
      Recheck PC network selection. This can change based on PC network priority settings.

      The settings entered for the wireless network may be invalid, the wireless directly (ad hoc) (router) settings may have changed or the scanner is no longer in range of the access point (router). First move the scanner closer to the wireless directly (ad hoc) (router) to see if a connection is established. If this is unsuccessful reset the scanner to defaults (for more information refer to, “how do I reset to factory defaults?” FAQ) then refer to the Setting Up and Connecting Your Scanner section of the User’s Guide.

  • Why does my scanner pause/slow down?
      • Obstructions
      • Router
      • Distance
      • How is your wireless network configured?
  • Why does my scanner wired/wireless network connection not work when connected via USB?
    • Wireless connectivity is for multiple users and USB is for a single dedicated user. When the scanner is connected via USB it turns off the discovery of wireless network and disables the wired network, but it can still function in Wireless directly (ad hoc) mode. Mobile devices will still work wirelessly as long as the wireless switch is ‘On’.

      Disconnecting the USB cable or powering down your PC will re-enable the wired network or discovery on your wireless network connection.

  • Why doesn’t my scanner connect to a Wired Network?
      1. Verify that the Host PC / mobile device is connected to the same wired network that you want to connect to.
      2. Recommendations to prevent connection issues:
        • Move the scanner, computer, and access point (router) so they are in close proximity.
        • Check the Wired IP address that is assigned to the scanner when you connect the Ethernet cable. If the Wired IP address is not static or you do not use a DHCP reservation, the IP address can change (and your scanner won’t be connected).
  • Why doesn’t my scanner connect to a Wireless Network/Wireless Directly?
      1. Recommendations to prevent connection problems:
        • Move the scanner, computer, and access point (router) so they are in close proximity.
        • Move devices that can cause interference (microwaves or cordless telephones) away from the scanner, computer, and access point (router).
      2. Check with the access point (router) manufacturer for updates or configuration changes that could help improve the connection.
      3. The Host Wireless Network is disabled if a USB cable is connected to the scanner. An ad hoc network will be available for mobile devices.
      4. Verify that the SSID you are trying to connect to is correct.
      5. Verify that the Security Key and encryption type selected for the scanner are the same as those of your network router.
      6. If you use the wireless option, check the distance between the scanner and the router.
  • Why is the scanner not available in Windows Control Panel?
      • When an S2000 scanner is connected via a network connection, it will not display in the Device Manager > Imaging devices.
      • An S2000 Scanner is only available in Device Manager > Imaging devices when it is connected via USB.
