  • 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 "Creating a New Scan Profile", Scanner Reference Illustration indicating instructions stored on a CD-ROM.

"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.
