Information reading system, method for setting scanner system, and method for setting information reading system

An information reading system comprising:

• a scanner system including a scanning unit that scans a target to be read and generates scan data and a control unit that executes decoding of the scan data generated by the scanning unit;
• a setting system that performs a setting in the scanner system;
• a communication system including a first communication interface to be connected to an external computer;
• and
• a storage unit that stores a scan parameter for controlling the scanning unit, a decoding parameter related to the decoding to be executed on the scan data, or a communication parameter related to a result output of the decoding executed on the scan data, wherein
• the setting system includes
• a web server that executes a configuration application for setting the scan parameter, the decoding parameter, or the communication parameter, and
• an IP address assignment unit that assigns an IP address on an identical network to each of the external computer and the web server when the communication system is connected to the external computer via the first communication interface,
• the web server is brought into a state of being capable of communicating with a web browser of the external computer via the first communication interface after the assignment of the IP address by the IP address assignment unit, and
• the configuration application stores the scan parameter, the decoding parameter, or the communication parameter in the storage unit in response to an instruction received from the web browser via the first communication interface.
