the username and password are entered correctly. For more information, see
the information in the EWS.

The disk is full
Make sure the server containing the folder has enough disk space available.

The device cannot create a unique filename using the assigned prefix and
suffix
The device can create up to 9,999 files using the same prefix and suffix. If you
have scanned many files to a folder, change the prefix.

The filename prefix has not been set up correctly
Make sure the folder name and filename prefix uses only the letters A through Z,
uppercase or lowercase; the numbers 1 through 9. Some common punctuation
marks are also supported. However, do not use accented or special characters in
the folder name. If unsupported characters are used in filename prefixes, they will
not appear correctly when the file is created.

The server name cannot be resolved
Sending to network folder might fail if the server name provided during setup
cannot be resolved to specific IP addresses. When setting up the Direct Digital
Filing feature, be sure to do the following:

Try to use fully qualified DNS names.

Make sure the DNS server is set up correctly on the device.

TIP:

If you have recently changed the DNS settings, turn off and then turn

on the all-in-one.
