Scanner Registration Conditions
A scanner can be registered in the Scanner Central Admin Server if its scanner name and MAC address does not duplicate. However, in the following cases, a registration error will occur.
If a registration error occurs, delete the scanner with the same information that is already registered, or change the information for the scanner to be registered, and try again.
When registering a scanner by the [New] button on the [Scanner Config List] window
- If the name of the scanner to be registered is a duplicate of a scanner that already exists, registration is not possible.
An unregistered scanner is a scanner that has not been registered in the Scanner Central Admin Server from a target scanner.
However, even if the name of the scanner to be registered is a duplicate, if the MAC address is set in the scanner information, the scanner will be registered.
- If the type of the scanner to be added is a network scanner, and the MAC address of the scanner is a duplicate of a scanner that already exists, registration is not possible.
When registering a scanner by the [Import] button on the [Scanner Config List] window
- Import is not possible if the following types of scanner exist in the CSV file to be imported.
- If multiple scanners with the same Admin ID exist in the CSV file
- If multiple scanners with the same name and with no Admin ID exist in the CSV file
- If multiple network scanners with the same MAC address exist in the CSV file
- If the scanners to be registered by import, and scanners without Admin IDs that exist in the Scanner Central Admin Server are of different types, and have duplicate names, a registration error will occur.
HINT
- An Admin ID is an ID that is automatically assigned to a scanner, and that is used by the Scanner Central Admin for admin purposes.
- To check the scanner Admin IDs that exist in the Scanner Central Admin Server, press the [Export] button on the [Scanner Config List] window, and refer to the exported scanner configuration file.
When registering from a scanner to the Scanner Central Admin Server

- Image scanner with a different name from one that exists in the Scanner Central Admin Server.
- Network scanner with a name and MAC address that is different from one that exists in the Scanner Central Admin Server
ATTENTION
- Even if the name and MAC address are the same as those of a scanner that exists in the Scanner Central Admin Server, if the scanner type is different, a registration error will occur.
