mode For the WLAN running in ad hoc mode, assign a static IP address to your

• In the Internet Protocol dialog, use the option “Use the following IP
address” and provide a valid IP address and subnet mask. The IP address
and subnet mask of your notebook must be compatible with the scanner‘s.
Take the IP address of the scanner and change the last number. For

The subnet mask must be identical to the one of the scanner. You might
have to disconnect and connect again to get the connection working.
