There are many reasons why you may not be able to scan to a folder. For Windows 8, it could be a firmware issue -- Windows 8 uses a newer version of SMB. Update the copier's firmware and that very well may fix the problem.
If it still won't scan, here are some other possible reasons why:
- 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)
If scanning to a folder was never fully set up, you can find instructions for doing so here:
