Once connected to the scanner you will be able to browse, edit and delete existing projects or create new ones – it is very useful to name a folder / project before going out on a scan visit (or deleting everything) to make it easy to ensure you are pulling the correct scans into the desktop application later. To then connect to the scanner itself switch the scanner on and connect to its own wifi network – the details of which can be found inside the battery cover.
