When performing a search, make sure that the target MFP device is turned ON, and that the PC to be used with the MFP device is connected and can communicate on the network. Also note that searches are not possible if the PC to be used with the scanner device is connected via a router or a gateway. In addition to this, searches are sometimes not possible depending on the PC settings (routing settings, firewall settings, etc.). If this happens, enter n, and press Enter. Then, enter the required information following the on-screen messages. For details, see Registering Network Scanners Without Performing a Search.

Broadcast address used in search[255.255.255.255]:

Broadcast packets sometimes cannot be sent using 255.255.255.255 depending on the OS settings, etc. If the IP address of the device (MFP) to register is already known, register that address without performing a search.

If the IP address (MFP) is not known, search by a broadcast address that targets only inside the subnet of the network where the PC is connected. The broadcast address to specify in this instance can be obtained by the following method. When the device has multiple NICs, specify the broadcast address of the interface to which the target device (MFP) is connected.
