13 Network Scanning

To use the machine as a network scanner, the machine must be configured with a TCP/IP address. You can set or change the address settings from the control panel (uuNetwork User’s Guide: Control Panel Setup) or by using the BRAdmin Light software. If you installed the machine following the instructions for a network user in the Quick Setup Guide then the machine should already be configured for your network.

Note

For network scanning, a maximum of 25 clients can be connected to one machine on a network. For example, if 30 clients try to connect at a time, 5 of those clients will not be shown on the LCD.

(Windows®)

If your computer is protected by a firewall, and is unable to network scan, you may need to configure the firewall settings. If you are using Windows® Firewall and you installed MFL-Pro Suite from the CD-ROM, the necessary Firewall settings have already been made. For more information, see Firewall settings (For Network users) uu page 117.
