(When Scan to E-mail is used)
Has the folder on the destination
computer been set as a shared folder
so that files can be sent to it?
(When using Scan to Network Folder)
■ Make sure that the correct information is stored for the destination and that the
destination is correctly selected.
If delivery by e-mail (Scan to E-mail) is unsuccessful, an error message such as
"Undelivered Message" may be sent to the designated administrator's e-mail
address. This information may help you determine the cause of the problem.
■ Check with your administrator.
If your administrator has set a limit on the size of transmitted files, a file that
exceeds the limit cannot be transmitted.
■ Reduce the size of the file attachment (reduce the number of pages to scan) for
one e-mail transmission.
The size of the file can also be reduced by scanning using a lower resolution
setting. Ask your mail server administrator (or Internet service provider, etc.) what
the file size limit is for one e-mail transmission.
■ When [Send Destination Link] is selected, the data is saved to the machine's hard
disk, and a URL link to the saved data is sent by e-mail to the destination. The
recipient uses the link to download the file. Because this method is not affected
by mail server restrictions, you can use it in instances such as when you cannot
reduce the size of the file.
■ If the destination folder is not configured as a shared folder, select "Sharing" in
the folder properties.
If the folder was moved or otherwise changed, the "Sharing" setting may have
been canceled.
Is [IPsec Settings] enabled on the
machine?
(When using Scan to Network Folder)
Did you place an original that is
folded?
Are both direct SMTP addresses and
other addresses set as destinations?
■ Check with your administrator.
When [IPsec Settings] is enabled in setting mode, it may not be possible to scan
to a shared folder in some computer environments.
■ Following the instructions in the display, unfold the original, place it in the
automatic document feeder again, and re-scan it.
If a folded original is placed in the automatic document feeder, an error will occur
and scanning will be canceled when the actual original size is detected during
scanning.
■ Broadcast transmission to both direct SMTP addresses and other addresses is
not possible. Send to direct SMTP addresses and other addresses separately.

AUTO SELECTION OF THE COLOR MODE DOES
NOT TAKE PLACE CORRECTLY
CheckSolution
Are you scanning one of the following
types of originals?
When Black & White is not selected:
• Are there colors or coloring in the
paper?
When Color is not selected:
• Is the color in the original very light?
• Is the color in the original very dark,
almost black?
• Is only a very small area of the original
colored?
THE RECEIVED IMAGE FILE CANNOT BE
OPENED
CheckSolution
Does the viewer program used by the
recipient support the format of the
received image data?
■ Specify the color mode manually.
When the color mode is set to [Auto], the machine detects whether the original is
black and white or color when the [Color Start] key is tapped; however, in the
cases as shown on the left, automatic detection may not give the correct result.
■ Use a software program that is capable of opening the selected file type and
compression mode.
The recipient may be able to open the file if you change the file type and
compression mode selected at the time of transmission.
Does a message appear prompting
you to enter your password?
■ Ask the sender for the password, or have the image sent again in a
non-encrypted format.
The received file is an encrypted PDF file.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPECIFY THE
ORIGINAL/SEND SIZE
CheckSolution
Are you using Easy mode?■ Use normal mode to set the original size and send size. Tap the [Original] key in
the base screen of normal mode. Specify the scan size (original size), and
specify the send size that will be received at the destination.

TRANSMISSION TAKES A LONG TIME
CheckSolution
Is the resolution setting appropriate at
the time of scanning?
A DESTINATION IS PRE-SELECTED
CheckSolution
Is [Default Address Setting] enabled
in the setting mode?
■ Select resolution and data compression settings that are suited to the purpose of
transmission.
To create image data that is balanced in terms of resolution and file size, pay
attention to the following points:
Resolution modes:
The default resolution setting is [200x200dpi] in "E-Mail", "FTP/Desktop",
"Network Folder", and "Scan to External Memory Device", and [200x100dpi] in
Internet fax mode. If the original does not contain a halftone image such as a
photo or illustration, scanning at the default resolution will create a more practical
and useful image. A higher resolution setting or the "Half Tone" setting (in
Internet fax mode only) should only be selected if the original contains a photo
and you wish to give priority to the quality of the photo image. Exercise caution in
this case as a larger file will be created than when the default setting is used.
■ If you wish to send to a destination other than the default destination, tap the
[Cancel] key.
If you are the administrator and wish to change or disable the default destination,
change the settings as appropriate in [Default Address Setting].
"Settings (administrator)" → [System Settings] → [Image Send Settings] →
Is the original scan size setting
smaller than the actual original size?
■
Set the scan size to the actual original size.
If you have intentionally set a smaller size than the actual original size, place the
original considering the reference placement position for the selected scan size.
For example, when scanning an A4 (8-1/2" x 11") original using a B5 (5-1/2" x
8-1/2") setting on the document glass, align the original using the document glass
scale at the left edge to fit the area you wish to scan into the B5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2")
scanning area.

CheckSolution
Is the original printed matter such as
a book or magazine?
When scanning a color or grayscale
original, is the color mode set to
[Mono2]?
Are Internet fax addresses included in
the transmission?
Is the resolution setting too low?■ A low resolution setting results in a coarser image.
Is the compression ratio too high?■ If the compression ratio is set to a high value when "Color Mode" transmission is
■ To reduce the moire effect, take the following procedure:
When the original is printed matter, vertical patterns (moire) may occur. Select
[Others] → [Sharpness] in the Base Screen of normal mode and soften the edges
of image to reduce the moire effect (only in "E-Mail", "FTP/Desktop", "Network
Folder", and "Scan to External Memory Device"). It may also be possible to
reduce the moire effect by changing the resolution setting or shifting the original
(or changing its angle) slightly on the document glass.
■ Setting the color mode to [Mono2] replaces the colors in the original with either
black or white. This is suitable for text-only originals; however, for originals that
contain illustrations, it is best to use the [B/W Start] key with the color mode set to
[Grayscale], or set the color mode of the [Color Start] key to [Full Color] or
[Grayscale] and then scan.
■ If you wish to send an image scanned at high resolution to destinations for
"E-Mail", "FTP/Desktop", and "Network Folder", send the image to scanner and
Internet fax destinations separately.
Increasing the resolution setting produces a smoother image. (The higher the
resolution, the larger the file size.)
set to full color or grayscale, noise may be noticeable and colors may appear dull.
Set [File Format] → "Compression Ratio" to a lower value to reduce noise and
dulling of color. (The lower the compression ratio, the larger the file size.)
This is set in Normal Mode.
THE SCANNED IMAGE IS BLANK
CheckSolution
Is the original placed face up or face
down correctly?
■ Place the original again in the correct orientation, and resend.
When using the document glass, the original must be placed face down. When
using the automatic document feeder, the original must be placed face up.

■ Send the image to the scan mode and Internet fax mode destinations separately.
When destinations for "E-Mail", "FTP/Desktop", and "Network Folder" and
Internet fax destinations are included in a broadcast transmission, the original
transmission orientation of Internet fax takes precedence, and thus the file may
not appear in the correct orientation when viewed on a PC.
■ Change the color mode to [Full Color] or [Grayscale], and then tap the [Start] key.
When [JPEG] is selected for the file type and the image is scanned in Mono2, the
file will be created as a TIFF file.
CheckSolution

■ [Grayscale] is suitable when you want a high-quality image of text or a photo, but
the file size will be larger. Using [Mono2] for a text-only original will significantly
reduce the file size. This is set in Normal Mode.
Lowering the resolution results in a coarser image, but produces a smaller file
size.
[Full Color] or [Grayscale], the file size will be large.
If [File Format] → [Compression Ratio] is set to a higher value, noise may
become noticeable and colors may appear duller, but the file size will be smaller.
This is set in Normal Mode.
