Re: Scanning sharp mxm 453

most common problems are network scanner tool not being started or blocked by firewall or anti-virus. also ip addresses could be changing and you could try switching to computer name instead

Check cable:
i often find old cat5 lines, that are certified to 333 Ghz, that is not gigabit. Printing works fine, but scanning troubles the users.
Changing to Cat 5e or Cat 7 helps.

greetings peter

PS, remove Ethernet-line from machine and ping Machine adress from PC. If there is an answer, you found the problem.

Thanks Peter just learning this network stuff. What causes a companies ip addresses to move around?

Often the new Iphone from Boss receives an internal used adress from WIFI.
He is sitting proud in his office and users are not able to print or scan.
Have the network admin to reserve ipspace for mobile devices
away from internal used ip adresses.
