The following steps outline a typical configuration workflow for preparing ShareScan to use your devices and environment:

1. Check the vendor-specific Pre-installation Checklist to see if you need to perform any steps on your MFPs before adding them to ShareScan.
2. Use the Licensing Wizard of the Administration Console to ensure that your license is valid. For more information on how the Licensing Wizard works, see Licensing Wizard.
3. Use the Devices tab of the Administration Console to add the device you want to use. Adding multiple devices simultaneously is possible; however, this may require using a .csv file to store the relevant MFP information. Check your vendor-specific ShareScan Installation Guide to see whether this .csv file is needed and how it is structured. For more information on adding devices, see Adding devices.
4. Use the Connectors tab of the Administration Console to assign a connector to your already-added device(s). This will allow you to use the connector-specific capabilities via your assigned MFPs. For more information on the various connector capabilities and configuration options, see Configure connectors.
5. Use the Services tab of the Administration Console if you want to employ additional options in a workflow. The services can be assigned to specific connector-based workflows (meaning all MFPs using that connector would benefit from the service) or to devices (meaning all connector workflows used by that device would benefit from the service). For more information on the various service capabilities and configuration options, see About configuring services.

When you open the Administration Console, the Welcome page lists the main functions in the recommended order for performing each function:

1. Configure services

2. Configure connector profiles

3. Configure devices
