Using WPS PIN Mode to Connect to a Network

If you have a WPS-enabled wireless router that supports PIN mode, you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) PIN mode to connect your scanner to the network (ES-300W/ES-300WR). Make sure you have installed your scanner software as described on your scanner Start Here sheet.
Note: For best results, re-install your scanner software and follow the on-screen instructions to connect to a network.
  1. Find the WPS PIN number setting in your router's firmware.
  2. Make sure the scanner is turned off.
  3. Slide the cover latch to open the scanner.


  4. Set the connection mode switch on the side of the scanner to the  AP mode position.


  5. Press and hold the  Wi-Fi connect button as you press the  power button to turn on the scanner. Release the  Wi-Fi connect button when the ready and  Wi-Fi lights flash alternately.


    Note: The scanner enters WPS discovery mode for 2 minutes.
  6. Use your computer to enter the PIN code 01234565 into the WPS PIN number setting in the wireless router within two minutes. The ready and  Wi-Fi lights on the scanner stay on, indicating that the scanner is connected to the network.
    Note: If you do not enter the code within 2 minutes, repeat steps 1 through 6.
  7. Turn off the scanner.
  8. Set the connection mode switch on the scanner to the  Wi-Fi position.


  9. Press the  power button to turn on the scanner. When the ready and  Wi-Fi lights on the scanner stay on, the scanner is connected to the network.
    Note: If the ! error light turns on, the connection failed. Press the  stop button to clear the error, restart the router, and repeat these steps.
