33 3 Installation & Use 3 Installation & Use The Infinity WF scanners (WF 36, WF 42, and WF 48) can be installed and used in multiple ways. One of the many features of the Infinity WF is that it can be connected to and operated over a wide area network (WAN) with or without an Internet connection. This is not a requirement, however. Infinity WF scanners can also be connected and operated using a dedicated host PC, or the Touch Screen located on the scanner itself. This section covers each of the various installation types; as well as the different methods for using the scanner. Note This manual uses the following terms: LAN and WAN. The definition for each of them in terms of use for this manual is: LAN (Local Area Network) scanner is accessible from a single, dedicated host PC using the supplied crossover cable WAN (Wide Area Network) scanner is connected to the network using an Ethernet cable and an IP address, and is accessible over that network from any PC also on that network, with or without an Internet connection. 3.1 Installation The Infinity WF scanner can be installed using one of two methods: The Touch Screen located on the scanner A host PC connected to the scanner with the supplied crossover cable, using the Infinity WF s Web-based Interface Touch Screen Installation The Touch Screen has an easy-to-use menu for installing the scanner for use on a WAN. For detailed instructions on how to install the scanner on a WAN using the Touch Screen, go to: Self Test 1 Screen, IP Address (Network Setup) in this manual. It is; however, recommended that section 3.3 Ready for Use be reviewed first. Crossover Cable (Host PC) Installation The Infinity WF scanner does not require network configuration if it is to be used for scanning using a single, dedicated host PC, and the scanned images are to be saved directly to that PC (images could also be saved directly to USB if the USB option is installed on the scanner). Page 19 of 117

34 Infinity WF Operator Manual If being able to scan from more than one location is required and/or the scanned images are to be saved or sent to a location other than a host PC, the scanner needs to be configured for the WAN. This can be accomplished using a host PC with the supplied crossover cable, a valid network IP address, and the Infinity WF s Web-based Interface. To do this, see Network Configuration Button under Base Settings in this manual. Figure 3.1: Using the crossover cable 3.2 Use (Scanning) Scanning with the Infinity WF can be accomplished using three different methods: Touch Screen; Host PC using the supplied crossover cable; and PC connected to the WAN with or without an Internet connection. Touch Screen Scanning can be accomplished on the Infinity WF directly from the scanner using the Touch Screen. It has an easy-to-use menu and helps the operator to control all scanner parameters with the touch of a finger. If the need arises to view a scanned image while operating the scanner from the Touch Screen, an external monitor can be attached to the scanner (see Viewer Control for more information). For detailed instructions on to use the various functions and controls available from the Touch Screen, begin with section 4 Setup & Performance Optimization in this manual. It is; however, recommended that section 3.3 Ready for Use be reviewed first. Host PC with Crossover Cable If it is not required that the Infinity WF scanner be accessible from more than one PC, and the scanned images are to be saved directly to that PC and not saved/sent elsewhere, perform the following: Page 20 of 117

35 3 Installation & Use 1. Connect the PC to the scanner using the supplied crossover cable 2. Power ON the PC 3. Power ON the scanner 4. Using the Touch Screen on the scanner, go to the Main menu (see 3.3 Ready for Use) 5. Open a web browser on the PC and enter the scanner s default IP address ( ) in the browser s address bar. This will launch the Infinity WF Web-based Interface (for more information, go to section 7 Infinity Web-based Interface in this manual).
