Common causes

  • 1Expired or incorrect user credentials for SMB file sharing.
  • 2Destination server offline or firewall blocking scanning ports.
  • 3DNS name resolution conflicts within the local network.
  • 4Obsolete SMB 1.0 protocols restricted by the server security policy.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Error 005-280 is specifically linked to scan-to-file operations. If printing works, verify that the scan settings aren't failing due to a recent change in network policy or credentials.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Verify connectivity: Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected and the device IP is reachable via 'ping' from your computer.
  2. Review protocols: Access the web interface (CWIS) and validate SMB or SMTP settings against current server credentials.
  3. Update DNS: Verify that DNS server addresses are correctly entered in the network settings to resolve server hostnames.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Keep the device firmware updated to maintain compatibility with modern network security standards. Audit server folder permissions regularly to ensure the printer still has write access.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If all configurations are verified and the network connectivity is stable, internal network interface card (NIC) issues might require expert support.
