Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue 1: The MFP cannot be found on the network.
This is a common issue that can be resolved by ensuring your MFP is properly connected to the network. Double-check your network settings on both the MFP and your computer. Ensure the connection is stable and that both devices are using the correct IP address and subnet mask.
Issue 2: Scanned documents are not being saved to the specified folder.
This issue can be caused by incorrect permissions for the destination folder. Ensure that your user account has write permissions for the folder where you want to save your scanned documents.
