An unintended destination is dialed up.

If a dial-up router is on the network to which the machine is connected, the machine connects to a destination other than the intended destination, depending on the settings of the machine or dial-up router. This may result in subscriber line charges and call charges. Check the following.
If the dial-up router does not have to send packets via broadcast, change the router settings to ensure that it sends packets via a method other than broadcast. If it is necessary to allow broadcasting with the dial-up router, check whether an unnecessary destination is set.
Check whether the host name and IP address of the file server and mail server, etc. set in the machine are correct.
If the DNS server is on an external server, use the IP address instead of the host name for the destination, even when connecting to devices on the same network as the machine.
If the DNS server is on the network that the machine is connected to, check whether the information for devices connected to an external network is registered on the DNS server, and whether it is correct.

Cannot recognize the machine from a computer.

If the IP address of the computer where the Remote UI and utility software are executed is not allowed for sending and receiving in <Firewall Settings>, the information for the machine cannot be displayed on the computer. Check whether the settings are correct.

File Server Problems

Cannot save data in a FTP server.

Execute the following commands to check the server status. If you are using Windows, perform these from the command prompt. If file sharing still does not operate normally, consult the administrator of the network you are using.
Example using UNIX, where the FTP server has the IP address:
-------
U:>ftp 192.168.1.195 *Connect to server
Connected to 192.168.37.195.
220 canmfs FTP server (UNIX(r) System V Release 4.0) ready.
User (192.168.37.195:(none)): user_name *User login
331 Password required for user_name.
Password: *Enter password
230 User user_name logged in.
ftp>cd /export/share *Move to data destination directory
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> bin *Set data transfer type (binary)
200 Type set to I.
ftp> put sample.tif *Set transfer file name for verification
ftp> by *Cut off server connection
221 Goodbye
-------
Make sure that there are no spaces after the name entered in <User Name> for the destination.
Was the machine turned OFF while sending data to the FTP server? Did you try to save the data again after the machine was turned back ON? If a Windows Server 2003/Vista/Server 2008/7/Server 2008 R2/8/8.1/Server 2012/Server 2012 R2 FTP server is being used, the FTP server may hold the data in a writing-in-progress state. Therefore, this data cannot be overwritten even when the machine reconnects and sends the same data again. Stop the FTP server temporarily and delete the held data, so it can be sent again.
If a message is displayed on the touch panel display, refer to the error message list to resolve the problem.
