“Cannot detect original size. Select scan size.”

The machine cannot detect the size of the original.

  • Place the original correctly.

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 scanner 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 ReferenceIllustration 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.

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.

“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 then send it as multiple smaller files. See "Storage function", Scanner ReferenceIllustration indicating instructions stored on a CD-ROM.

“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.

“Could not send the data because the PC timed out before it was sent.”

A time out occurred when using WSD Scanner. Time outs occur when too much time passes between scanning an original and sending its data. The followings are likely causes of time outs:

  • Too many originals per set.

  • Misfed originals.

  • Transmission of other jobs.

  • Reduce the number of originals, and then scan again.

  • Remove any misfed original, and then scan again.

  • Use Scanner Journal to check there are no jobs awaiting transmission, and then scan again.

“Memory is full. Cannot scan. The scanned data will be deleted.”

Because of insufficient hard disk space, the first page could not be scanned.

Try one of the following measures:

  • Wait a while, and then try again.
