Scanner Connection
Medit Link Express supports wireless (Wi-Fi and Personal Hotspot) and USB connections for compatible scanners.
Connection types vary by model and platform:
Wireless: Available for i900 Mobility (iPad and Mac)
USB: Available for i900 and i900 classic (Mac)
Wireless Connection
Medit Link Express automatically detects and pairs with the Medit i900 Mobility over a Wi-Fi network or an iPad Personal Hotspot. Ensure the scanner is powered on before proceeding, using the following steps:
Insert the battery into the bottom of the handpiece, and press the power button once.
When power is applied, the two rear LEDs turn on: the one near the Medit 'M' logo blinks in light gray, while the other at the bottom of the battery stays solid blue.
🔎Note
The four LEDs on the battery’s fuel gauge indicate the remaining battery level:
4 LEDs lit: 75 – 100%
3 LEDs lit: 50 – 74%
2 LEDs lit: 25 – 49%
1 LED lit: 12 – 24%
1 blinking LED: 1 – 12%
* The indicator blinks when the charge is between 1% and 12% while the battery is inserted in the handpiece. When it’s checked separately or placed in the charger, however, the indicator remains steady, with a single LED indicating the 1–12% charge range.
No LEDs lit: 0%
From the home screen, tap the Scanner Manager icon in the top-left corner.
🔎Note
You can also open the Scanner Manager in the following ways:
• Tap Not Connected in the top-left corner, then tap Connect in the pop-up.
• Tap Set Up Now on the home screen, then tap Set Up Now again in the Get Started dialog.
In the Scanner Manager, select the scanner that matches your serial number, and tap Connect. The serial number is located on the back, near the bottom of the handpiece.
Enter the password for the Wi-Fi network, and then tap OK.
The Disconnect button appears next to your scanner when it is connected.
🔎Note
If the scanner is already connected to another device, select it from Nearby Scanners or My Scanner to connect. This will disconnect the scanner from the other device.
You cannot connect the scanner while it is scanning or updating firmware on another device.
If Wi-Fi is not available, use Personal Hotspot to connect the scanner.
Turn on Cellular Data and enable Personal Hotspot on the iPad.
Connect the scanner to the hotspot network shown on your iPad.
Turn off Maximize Compatibility for optimal performance.
**This option is only available on cellular-enabled iPads.
USB Connection
Medit Link Express supports USB connection for the Medit i900 and i900 classic. Connect the scanner to your Mac using the dedicated cable while the app is running.
A valid license is required to start scanning.
Scanner Calibration
🔎Note
It is recommended that the scanner be calibrated periodically.
Regular calibration helps maintain scanning accuracy and stable device performance.
Calibrate the scanner in the following cases:
Scan data quality is lower than in previous scans
External conditions, such as device temperature, have changed during use
The user-defined calibration interval has passed
Calibration is more accurate when the scanner temperature is similar during calibration and scanning.
Before calibration, allow the scanner to warm up until it reaches the operating temperature.
How to Calibrate
Make sure the scanner status shows Calibration Required, then tap it.
When the pop-up message appears, tap Start Calibration.
Or go to Settings > Scanner Information, then tap Calibrate Now.
Prepare the calibrator and tap Next to start the calibration process.
Turn the upper part of the calibrator until the arrow and dot align, then tap Next.
Remove the bottom cap of the calibrator and the scanner tip.
Before inserting the scanner, check that the aligned symbols on the calibrator are in line with the physical buttons on the scanner handpiece.
Firmly push the scanner into the calibrator until it clicks into place.
When the Next button appears at the bottom right, it means the connection is complete. Tap it to continue.
Rotate the upper part of the calibrator to the next position, following the on-screen instructions.
Repeat the process above until you reach the final position.
Once calibration begins, the result will be displayed automatically.
Your scanner is connected and ready to use.
