Error message Action to perform
The user name or password is
incorrect.
• Check the remote user name and the password.
If the user name and password are correct, check the syn-
tax of the external location name:
• For a remote host user: <hostname>\<username> or
<IP_address>\<username>
• For a domain user: <domainname>\<username>
• Make sure that the destination workstation accepts the
NTLMv1 authentication.
(Windows environment: Local Security Policy - Security
Settings - Local Policies - Security Options - Network Se-
curity - LAN Manager authentication level: the setting
should be set to any value except 'refuse LM' or 'refuse LM
& NTLM')
The remote hostname cannot
be resolved.
• Make sure the hostname is correct and valid.
• Make sure the printer is connected to customer's network.
• Check the network settings of the printer in Océ Express
WebTools:
Primary DNS suffix, Preferred DNS server, Subnet mask,
Default Gateway
• Check with the System Administrator if the DNS server can
resolve the hostname to an IPv4 address
• If any of the previously mentioned checks does not solve
the problem, enter the remote host IPv4 address instead of
the hostname.
Missing or incorrect path. Make sure the path syntax conforms to:
• \\hostname\share[\folder\...] or,
•
\\<IP_address>\share[\folder\...]
The remote host could not be
found.
• Make sure the hostname or IP address is correctly typed.
• Make sure the remote host is up and running, and that it is
connected to the network.
The remote host is not accessi-
ble.
• Make sure the SMB protocol is enabled on the remote
host.
• Make sure the SMB ports are allowed by the firewall.

tination workstation.
