`"Authentication with the destination has failed. Check settings. To check the current status, press [Scanned Files Status]."` | The entered user name or password was invalid. | Check that the user name and password are correct.

`"Cannot find the specified path. Please check the settings."` | An antivirus program or a firewall is preventing the machine connecting to your computer. | Antivirus programs and firewalls can prevent client computers from establishing connection with this machine. To prevent an antivirus application blocking the connection, register the facsimile program in the antivirus program's exclusion list. For details about the procedure for excluding a program, see your antivirus application's Help. To prevent a firewall blocking the connection, register the machine's IP address in the firewall's IP address exclusion settings. For details about the procedure for excluding an IP address, see your firewall's Help.
`"Cannot start scanning because communication was failed."` | Scan Profile is not set on the client computer. | Set Scan Profile. For details about how to do this, see "Changing a Scan Profile", Scanner Reference.
`"Cannot start scanning because communication was failed."` | The [Take no action] setting has been selected on the client computer, forcing the client computer to remain inactive when it receives scan data. | Open scanner properties, click the [Events] tab, and then select [Start this program] as the computer's response on receipt of scan data. For details, see your operating system's Help.
`"Cannot start scanning. Check the setting(s) on the PC."` | The Scan Profile might be incorrectly configured. | Check the Scan Profile configuration.
`"Cannot write on the memory storage device. Check the memory storage device and machine settings."` | The memory device is faulty, or the file name contains a character that cannot be used. | Check to see if the memory device is defective.

For details about the characters that can be used in file names, see "Specifying the File Name", Scanner Reference.
`"Cannot write on the memory storage device because remaining free space is insufficient."` | The memory device is full and scan data cannot be saved. Even if the memory device appears to have sufficient free space, data might not be saved if the maximum number of files that can be saved is exceeded. | Replace the memory device. If the document is scanned as single-page or divided multiple pages, data already written to the memory device is saved as is. Replace the memory device, and then press [Retry] to save the remaining data, or press [Cancel] to redo the scan.
`"Cannot write on the memory storage device because the device is write-protected."` | The memory device is write-protected. | Unlock the write-protection on the memory device.
