The Authentication feature 
used on the remote server is 
not supported by the 
machine.
Only Basic Authentication is supported by the machine. The 
machine does not support NTLM/digest. For security 
purposes, change to the Authentication feature using SSL.
The remote linkage services 
used does not support the 
model or accessories of the 
machine.

remote linkage services.
The IP address is incorrect. Confirm the IP address. If the IP address is incorrect, either 
set a static IP address or resolve the IP address using DHCP 
or Autonet.
The IP gateway address is 
incorrect.
Set the correct IP gateway address when connecting to the 
proxy server, or to a Web server via the IP gateway.
The subnet mask is incorrect. Set the correct subnet mask corresponding to your 
environment.
The DNS server address is 
incorrect.
Confirm the DNS server address.

cannot resolve the address.

When connecting via the proxy server

address of the proxy server.
z
When not connecting via the proxy server
Set the IP address of a DNS server that can resolve the 
destination address.
The address of the address 
that does not use a proxy 
server is incorrect.
Confirm whether only addresses that do not use a proxy 
server are set. Even if addresses not through a proxy server 
are specified using the FQDN, if a server is directly accessed 
using its IP address, the registered server is not excluded. 
Set the address not to use a proxy server.
Likewise, even if you directly specify an address that does 
not use a proxy server, if a server is accessed with the 
FQDN, the registered server is not excluded. Set an IP 
address with the FQDN not to use a proxy server.
The desired server, or the 
proxy server is down.
Confirm whether the desired server or the proxy server is 
operating correctly.
The network cable is not 
connected, or broken.
Confirm whether the network cable is correctly connected. 
We recommend using a spanning-tree configuration, with 
which network disconnection rarely occurs.
Cannot communicate 
because of overloading of the 
server application.
Wait for a while and try accessing again.
An error occurs that is not 
displayed on the control 
panel.
Even though an error occurs during background processing, 
no massage appears on the control panel. Display the [Job 
Status] screen or print the Job History Report to confirm the 
result.
