Solutions
Diagnóstico rápido
If you see this error, printing remains functional, but scanning to network folders is interrupted. Check if there were any recent security updates on your Windows machine, as these frequently reset folder sharing permissions.Solución paso a paso
- Verify path of the destination folder via the Web Interface (CWIS).
- Check credentials to ensure the printer has write access to the share.
- Switch to SMB v2/v3 if your environment no longer supports legacy protocols.
- Check the firewall to allow incoming scan traffic from the printer's IP.
