2.
Select the scanner.
• To search for scanners automatically
• To select the scanner using the IP address or host name
To search for scanners automatically
☐ Click [Discover] → select a scanner from [Select Scanner from List] → click [Select].
NOTE
Only scanners on the same subnet (network with the same network ID) as your computer are
displayed in the list.
To select the scanner using the IP address or host name
☐ Click [Address].
☐ Enter the IP address or host name → click [OK].
1-6
NOTE
• It is possible to specify an IP address or host name outside the subnet.
• For a scanner connected to a network by IPv4, enter the IP address as follows:
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (XXX is a decimal number from "0" to "255." Characters that can be used are
the numbers "0" to "9" and periods (.).)
• For a scanner connected to a network by IPv6, enter the IP address as follows (only for Color
Network ScanGear):
XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX (XXXX is a hexadecimal number. Characters that
can be used are the numbers "0" to "9," the letters "a" to "f" and "A" to "F," and colons (:).)
Example: 3ae3:90a0:bd05:01d2:288a:1fc0:0001:10ee
- If the number within a segment begins with a zero (0), you can omit the zero (0) at the
beginning.
Example: f0f0:0001:0020:0300:1000:0100:0020:0003=f0f0:1:20:300:1000:100:20:3
- If there are continuous segments consisting of zeros (0), these can be replaced by a double
colon (::). However, only one continuous group of segments can be omitted.
Example 1: 1234:4567:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:9abc = 1234:4567::9abc
Example 2: 1234:4567:0000:0000:f1f2:0000:0000:9abc = 1234:4567::f1f2:0:0:9abc
• You can specify the host name by entering it in the form "host name" only, or in the form "host
name+sub-domain name+domain name."
An example of host name only is: Server1234
An example of host name+sub-domain name+domain name is: Server1234.canon.com
• For details on how to verify the IP address or host name you have set, refer to the manual
provided with the corresponding product.
