Solution

“Authentication has failed.”

The entered login user name or password is not correct.

Contact your user administrator for the correct login user name and password.

“Authentication has failed.”

The machine cannot perform authentication.

Contact the administrator.

“Cannot communicate with PC. Contact the administrator.”

“WSD (Device)” protocol or “WSD (Scanner)” protocol is disabled.

Use IPv4 or IPv6, located in [Configuration] in Web Image Monitor, to enable “WSD (Device)” and “WSD (Scanner)”.

“Cannot detect original size. Select scan size.”

The machine cannot detect the size of the original.

  • Place the original correctly.

  • Specify the scan size.

  • If you place the original directly on the exposure glass or in the ADF, the automatic original size detection process starts. Lift the ADF by more than 30 degrees.

“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, then select [Start this Program] as the computer's response on receipt of scan data. For details, see your operating system's Help.

“Cannot find the specified path. Please check the settings.”

The destination computer name or folder name is invalid.

Check that the computer name or the folder name for the destination is correct.

“Captured file exceeded max. number of pages per file. Cannot send the scanned data.”

The job contains too many pages to be scanned and sent as a single large file.

Separate the job and send it as multiple smaller files. See “Storage Function”, Scanner ReferenceIllustration indicating instructions stored on a CD-ROM.

“Connection with PC has failed. Check the settings.”

The destination computer name or folder name is invalid.

Check that the computer name or the folder name for the destination is correct.

“Connection with LDAP server has failed. Check the server status.”

A network error has occurred and connection has failed.

  • Try the operation once more. If the message is still shown, the network may be busy.

  • In [System Settings], under [Administrator Tools], check the settings of LDAP server. For details, see “Programming the LDAP server”, Network and System Settings GuideIllustration indicating instructions stored on a CD-ROM.

“Destinations to which encrypted files will be sent contain users without certificates or with invalid certificates. Check the destinations.”

The destination's S/MIME certificates are invalid or cannot be found.

Contact the administrator.

“Exceeded max. E-mail size. Sending E-mail has been cancelled. Check [Max. E-mail Size] in Scanner Features.”

The maximum e-mail size has been exceeded.

  • In [Scanner Features], under [Send Settings], change the [Max. E-mail Size] setting.

  • In [Scanner Features], under [Send Settings], set [Divide & Send E-mail] to [Yes (per Page)] or [Yes (per Max. Size)].

“Exceeded max. No. of results to display. Max.: n”

(A figure is placed at n.)

There are too many search results to display.

Search again after changing the search conditions.

“Exceeded max. data capacity. Check scanning resolution, then press Start key again.”

The scanned data exceeded maximum data capacity.

Specify the scan size and resolution again. Note that it may not be possible to scan very large originals at high resolution. See “Relationship between Resolution and Scan Size”, Scanner ReferenceIllustration indicating instructions stored on a CD-ROM.

“Exceeded max. data capacity. Check the scanning resolution, then reset original(s).”

The volume of the scan data is too large.

Specify the scan size and resolution again. Note that it may not be possible to scan very large originals at high resolution. See “Relationship between Resolution and Scan Size”, Scanner ReferenceIllustration indicating instructions stored on a CD-ROM.

“Exceeded max. number of alphanumeric characters for the path.”

The path contains too many alphanumeric characters.

The maximum number of characters which can be entered for the path is 256. Check the number of the characters you entered, and then enter the new characters in the path again.

“Exceeded max. number of alphanumeric characters for the path.”

There are too many alphanumeric characters.

Enter no more than the maximum number of alphanumeric characters. See “Values of Various Set Items for Transmission/Storage/Delivery Function”, Scanner ReferenceIllustration indicating instructions stored on a CD-ROM.

“Exceeded max. number of files which can be used in Document Server at the same time.”

The document server is already full.

Check the files stored by the other functions, and then delete unnecessary files. For details about how to delete files, see “Document Server”, Copy and Document Server ReferenceIllustration indicating book format instructionsIllustration indicating instructions stored on a CD-ROM.
