Won't scan to email:
Hi, there are many reasons why scanning to email may not work. If it's already been set up and it's suddenly not working, one of these problems may be the culprit:
- The network cable may be unplugged or faulty.
- The SMTP server is down, or the server name/IP address was entered incorrectly.
- The DNS server is down, or the server IP address is wrong.
- The SMTP server may be blocking the copier from sending emails, either because the copier is not on its "trusted" list or because it doesn't recognize the copier's IP address or MAC address.
- SMTP authentication may need to be enabled.
- The SMTP username and password entered into the copier may be incorrect or entered incorrectly.
- The wrong port was chosen for the SMTP server.
- There could be a network firewall blocking the communication.
- The network interface port on the copier could be bad.
- The Ethernet communication speed may need to be changed, either for the copier or a switch or hub it is connected to.
- The email address(es) saved on the copier may be incorrect.
- The SMTP server requires a valid "from" email address, and the administrator's email address on the copier is not valid.
- A sender is required but was not specified
If scanning to email was never fully set up, you can find detailed instructions for setting it up here:

Won't scan to folder:
There are also many reasons why you may not be able to scan to a folder. Here are some of the more common reasons:
- The folder that you are trying to scan to isn't shared
- The user account you are using to authenticate does not have rights to access that folder (possibly someone changed their password recently)
- There is a network connection problem somewhere between the copier and the computer
- There is a hardware device or software program preventing the copier from reaching that folder (ie. a firewall, anti-virus program, security suite, router, etc.)
- The copier and the computer are not in the same workgroup/domain
- If you are using an IP address for the computer instead of a host name, the computer's IP address has changed
- Make sure the SMB protocol is enabled (User Tools/Counter > System Settings > Interface Settings > Effective Protocols)
