NeatConnect: Factory Reset

Please note that the information provided on this page is related to products and/or services which are no longer supported and agent support is no longer available. Because the NeatConnect scanner has received no firmware updates in over 7 years, some features may no longer work correctly. Likewise, some scan destinations may have updated their processes, rendering the NeatConnect incompatible with those destinations. This information is provided as a courtesy for users who may still need troubleshooting or FAQ information on end-of-life products.
Perform a Factory Reset if you wish to wipe the NeatConnect scanner clean of any stored data or simply want to start fresh with the scanner as if it was just unboxed. All stored scan images, scan destinations, and login credentials for those destinations will be completely wiped out.

After a factory reset, you will need to reconnect to Wi-Fi and then log into your Neat account to continue using it just like the first time you powered on the scanner. Once you log in to that account, the scanner will automatically be connected to that account every time you turn it on.

Note that you can have more than one connected Neat account on the NeatConnect. It is not necessary to do a factory reset if you simply wish to remove a scan destination and it's associated login credentials. To remove a scan destination, tap the gear icon in the lower left, select View My Destinations, choose the account, then tap Remove Account.
