In today’s fast-paced digital world, multifunction photocopiers have evolved beyond simple document duplication. Modern devices like the Fuji Xerox series now offer scanning capabilities, allowing you to convert physical documents into digital files. This feature streamlines document management, simplifies sharing, and ensures easy archiving.
The Fuji Xerox DC S2320 stands out as a popular choice for businesses seeking reliable and high-quality multifunction devices. Known for its consistent performance and excellent output, the DC S2320 excels in both photocopying and scanning tasks.
Fuji Xerox has indeed been a pioneer in integrating scanning functionality into photocopiers. However, setting up the scan feature for the first time requires a few specific steps. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up your Fuji Xerox DC S2320 to scan documents directly to your Windows PC.
Let’s get started with configuring your Fuji Xerox DC S2320 for seamless scanning to your computer.
1. Configure the IP Address on Your Computer
To establish a connection between your Fuji Xerox photocopier and your computer, you’ll need to configure your computer’s IP address. Here’s how to do it on a Windows operating system:
-
Open Control Panel: Click on the Windows Start button and type “Control Panel”. Select “Control Panel” from the search results.
-
Navigate to Network and Internet: In the Control Panel, click on “Network and Internet”.
-
Access Network Sharing Center: Select “Network and Sharing Center”.
-
Change Adapter Settings: On the left-hand sidebar, click on “Change adapter settings”.
-
Ethernet Properties: Locate your Ethernet connection (usually labeled as “Ethernet”). Right-click on it and select “Properties”.
-
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties: In the Ethernet Properties window, scroll down and find “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”. Select it and click on the “Properties” button.
-
Use the Following IP Address: In the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window, select the radio button “Use the following IP address”.
-
Enter IP Address Details: You will need to enter the following information:
- IP address: Enter a static IP address for your computer. Choose an IP address within the same range as your network but outside the DHCP range to avoid conflicts. For example, if your network range is 192.168.1.1 – 192.168.1.254 and your router’s IP is 192.168.1.1, you could use 192.168.1.100. Consult your network administrator if you are unsure about your network’s IP range.
- Subnet mask: This will usually auto-fill to 255.255.255.0 once you click in the field.
- Default gateway: Enter the IP address of your router (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
-
Close Control Panel: Click “OK” in the TCP/IPv4 Properties window, “OK” in the Ethernet Properties window, and then close the Network and Sharing Center and Control Panel.
2. Connect the LAN Cable
Physically connect your Fuji Xerox DC S2320 photocopier to your computer using a LAN cable.
- Locate the LAN port on your Fuji Xerox DC S2320: This port is usually located at the back of the machine and is labeled “LAN” or “Ethernet”.
- Connect one end of the LAN cable to the photocopier’s LAN port.
- Connect the other end of the LAN cable to the Ethernet port on your computer.
Ensure both connections are secure.
3. Verify the IP Address on Your Fuji Xerox Machine
Now, you need to check and confirm the IP address settings on your Fuji Xerox DC S2320.
-
Access Machine Status: On the control panel of your Fuji Xerox DC S2320, press the “Machine Status” button. This button is typically located on the top panel and might be represented by an icon or labeled with text.
-
Navigate to IP Address: Use the touchscreen or navigation buttons on the control panel to find and select “IP Address”.
-
Display IP Address: Select “OK” to display the current IP address settings of the machine. The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway information will be shown on the machine’s display.
Make sure the IP address displayed is within the same range as your computer’s IP address and that the subnet mask and gateway are configured correctly for your network.
