### Scanner Setup

Before you can use the VeriScan app with your Panasonic FZ-N1 scanner, you must first complete Google setup wizard to connect to WiFi and sign into your Google Account. Afterwards, you will need to go into the Universal Scanner Settings app to enable scanning Driver's Licenses and Passports.

This section will show you how to complete the setup wizard and configure your scanner for use with Driver's Licenses and Passports.

#### First-Time Setup Wizard

- Turn on the device by holding the power button on the right side of the device.

| - Press the **Launch Setup Wizard** to be guided through the setup of your FZ-N1 scanner automatically. | ![](https://support.idscan.net/hubfs/image-png-Apr-24-2023-10-01-08-1321-PM.png) |
| --- | --- |
| - Press the yellow **Right Arrow** button to begin the setup wizard. | ![](https://support.idscan.net/hubfs/image-png-Apr-24-2023-10-01-23-9587-PM.png) |
| - Search for your WiFi network and enter your WiFi password to connect to your network. - Once connected, your device will check for updates. This may take a few minutes. - If it asks to copy apps and data, select **Don't Copy** if you're setting up a new device. | ![](https://support.idscan.net/hubfs/image-png-Apr-24-2023-10-03-34-0163-PM.png) |

- At the **Google Sign In** screen, enter your Gmail address for this device.

| We recommend using a generic Gmail address for your company to setup your device. This will allow you to: - Download [VeriScan on the Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.idscan.android.vsonline) - Receive automatic updates as soon as they are released. - Use Android features provided by Google, such as [Find My Device](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3265955) and [Locking Lost or Stolen Devices](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7177579). | ![](https://support.idscan.net/hubfs/image-png-Apr-20-2023-11-36-56-9912-PM.png) |
| --- | --- |

If you don't want to use your personal email, talk to your IT team about [creating a new Gmail account](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/27441) just for VeriScan. It only takes a few minutes and it's free!

- When prompted, **Accept** the terms and conditions for Google Services.
- When prompted, you can set a PIN number to lock the device. 
    - We recommend using a PIN number to secure your device.
    - This will keep your device secure if lost or stolen and prevent unauthorized users from accessing your sensitive data.

**Enable Driver's License and Passport Scanning**

Once your device is connected to the internet and signed into Google, you'll need to configure the barcode scanner on your device to accept Drivers Licenses and Passports.

You'll also be able to disable unwanted barcode types to ensure VeriScan only scans the secure PDF417 Barcode on the back of the ID.

To get started:

- Swipe up on the home screen to access the apps drawer
