If the scanner you are using is 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 (.).)
If the scanner you are using is connected to a network by IPv6, enter the IP address as follows.
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 also specify the scanner you want to use by entering its host name.
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, etc., refer to the manual provided with the corresponding product.
After selecting the scanner, you can click [Test Connection] to check that the selected scanner can be used.
