Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Error E-0002 is identified by a blinking orange Wi-Fi indicator or the scanner being undiscoverable by your devices. First, verify that other household electronics are connected to the same network to rule out a router failure.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Reboot your router and wait for the Wi-Fi signal to stabilize.
  2. Run the 'ScanSnap Wireless Setup Tool' while the scanner is connected to your PC via USB.
  3. Select your network from the list and re-enter your WPA2 Wi-Fi password.
  4. Confirm the link by ensuring the iX500 Wi-Fi light turns solid blue.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Assign a static IP address to your scanner within your router settings to prevent conflicts. Keep the scanner away from large metal objects or microwave ovens that can cause interference in the 2.4GHz band.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico
