Pairing Manager
🔎Note
This feature is available only for the i700 wireless.
Connect a wireless hub for the i700 wireless, and the following icon appears below the scanner status image.
Click the "Pairing Manager" icon to show the following options.
Find Connected Scanner
Make the paired scanner vibrate to help you find it.
Disconnect & Turn Off
Disconnect the currently paired scanner and turn it off.
Pair New Scanner
Pair the wireless hub with a new scanner.
Select the "Pair New Scanner" option.
Turn on the scanner and click "Next."
First, hold down the scanner's Control button, then press the Scan button at the same time. When the scanner's LED blinks quickly, release your finger from both buttons. Click the Pair button on the screen. The scanner starts to pair with the hub.
Try not to disturb the communication between the scanner and the hub while trying to pair. Be sure not to remove the scanner battery or disconnect the hub from your PC.
Click "Complete" when the "Pairing successful!" message appears.
Check the scanner status at the bottom left.
⚠️Caution
You may see the failure message when the connection is unstable or the scanner fails to pair with the hub. Then restart manual paring from the beginning.
Switch & Scan
Switch & Scan is to register a single scanner to two or more wireless hubs and switch connections between hubs. This feature allows you to carry a scanner from room to room and connect to any wireless hub in your clinic.
First, you need to register the device information of your scanner and wireless hub by manual pairing. Unregistered scanners and wireless hubs cannot connect with each other, no matter how strong the connection signal is.
🔎Note
This feature is available only for the i700 wireless.
Make sure your firmware is up to date before using the Switch & Scan feature.
If you connect with a new hub that has never connected to your scanner, manual pairing is required to register the scanner to the new hub.
Make sure both your scanner and the hub to connect with are turned on. You can connect the scanner and the wireless hub without running the Medit Scan for Clinics.
Press the center of the Control button for more than two seconds.
The scanner will vibrate briefly three times. That means you are ready to use Switch & Scan.
The scanner generates a short vibration when successfully connected to a wireless hub.
Run the program and start scanning.
⚠️Caution
If you have multiple wireless hubs in an unclosed workspace, the scanner may be connected to a hub other than the one you want to connect to.
If you try to connect between two wireless hubs, the scanner may be connected to a hub other than the one you want to connect to.
If the scanner fails to connect, get closer to the wireless hub you want to connect to and try again to connect by pressing the center of the Control button for more than two seconds.
