This document provides a quick start guide for the Brother DSMobile 920DW scanner, outlining its primary functions, usage features, and maintenance aspects.
The Brother DSMobile 920DW is a portable document scanner designed for easy and efficient digitization of documents. Its main function is to convert physical documents into digital files, offering flexibility in how these files are stored and accessed. The scanner supports various scanning modes, allowing users to choose between color and monochrome output, as well as single-sided or double-sided scanning. It can save scanned documents in popular formats such as PDF and JPG, catering to different user needs for document management and sharing.
One of the key usage features of the Brother DSMobile 920DW is its versatility in scanning methods. Users can choose to scan documents directly to an SD card, which is the recommended method for convenience and portability. To do this, an SD card is inserted into the front slot of the scanner. The scanner automatically "grabs" the document once inserted and begins the scanning process. Before scanning, users can select their preferred settings using dedicated buttons for Color/Mono, 2 side/1 side, and PDF/JPG. This allows for quick customization of the scan output without needing to connect to a computer.
Once documents are scanned to an SD card, there are multiple options for transferring these digital files to a computer. Users can connect the scanner to their computer via a USB cable, or they can remove the SD card and insert it into a computer's SD card reader. After opening the USB drive or SD card folder, files can be easily transferred. A crucial maintenance feature highlighted here is the recommendation to delete files from the SD card after transferring them to ensure sufficient storage space for future scans.
Another significant usage feature is the scanner's WiFi capability, which allows for wireless file transfer. To use this, users must first turn on WiFi mode on the scanner and wait for the WiFi light to turn blue. They then connect their device (e.g., computer, smartphone, tablet) to the scanner's WiFi network, which is identified as "Brother DS-920DW-da90." The security key for this network is "dsmobile." Once connected, users can access the scanner's interface through a web browser by navigating to http://10.10.100.1/. The login credentials are "prplscanner" for the username and "ParkRidge1913" for the password. From this web interface, users can select their scanned documents and choose to either download or delete them. If files are not immediately visible, clicking the "Mode" button allows users to switch between PDF and JPG views. Similar to USB/SD card transfers, it is recommended to delete files from the scanner's storage after transferring them via WiFi to maintain optimal performance and storage availability.
For users who prefer to scan directly to a computer, the Brother DSMobile 920DW also supports this mode. This involves installing the scanner driver, which can be found on the provided CD-ROM or downloaded from a specified URL (https://bit.ly/3brQTo4). After installation, the scanner is connected to the computer using a USB cable. The power button is pressed, and the OK button is used to select "PC mode." Users then open the "DSMobile Capture" application on their computer, select the scanner, and choose their desired file type output and save location. Documents are placed face up in the scanner, and the "Scan" button is clicked in the software to initiate the process. This method provides a more integrated workflow for users who prefer to manage their scans directly on their computer.
In terms of general operation and maintenance, the quick start guide emphasizes a few key points. The power button is used to turn the scanner on, and if the battery is low, connecting the USB cable to a computer will charge it. The OK button serves as a selector for different modes, such as SD card mode and PC mode. The automatic document feeding mechanism simplifies the scanning process, as the scanner "grabs" the document once inserted. Regular deletion of transferred files from the SD card or scanner's internal storage (when using WiFi) is a crucial maintenance practice to prevent storage issues and ensure the scanner is always ready for new tasks.
