    • Computer and shared folder names containing more than 12 characters cannot be displayed.

    • To change the path for the folder that has been entered, press [Edit] on the left side of the destination field. Enter the correct path for the folder, and then press [OK].

    • The connection test may take time.

    • You may not be able to press [Connection Test] right after pressing [Cancel] during a connection test.

    • Even if the connection test was successful, the machine may fail to transfer the file if you do not have write privileges for the file or there is not enough free hard disk space.

    • You can register the path to the destination in the machine's address book. For details, see "Registering the Path to the Selected Destination in the Address Book".

    • If the message "Cannot find the specified path. Please check the settings." appears, see "Troubleshooting When Using the Scanner Function", Troubleshooting.
