If you see an error message when scanning images to a shared folder, check for solutions in this table.

Message Solution
DNS error. Check DNS settings. Try the following:
  • Make sure the address in the contacts list on the printer and the address of the shared folder are the same.
  • If the computer's IP address is static or set manually, change the computer name in the network path to the IP address. For example, change \\EPSON02\SCAN to \\192.168.xxx.xxx\SCAN.
  • Make sure your computer is turned on and not running in a power-saving mode, such as sleep or standby. If your computer is in sleep mode, you cannot save scanned images to the shared folder.
  • Temporarily disable your computer's firewall and security software. If this clears the error, check the settings in the security software.
  • If you are using a laptop computer and the IP address is set as DHCP, the IP address may change when reconnecting to the network. Obtain the IP address again.
  • Check the printer's DNS settings using the product's control panel.
  • Check the DNS settings for the server, computer, or access point.
  • The computer name and the IP address may differ when the management table of the DNS server is not updated. Check the computer name and the IP address.

  • Make sure MS Network is enabled.
  • Make sure the address in the contacts list on the printer and the address of the shared folder are the same.
  • Access rights for the user in the contacts list should be added to the Sharing and Security tabs of the shared folder's properties. Access permissions should also be enabled for the user.
  • Check the Location settings.
  • Print a network connection report to check if the printer is connected to the network.
The file name is already in use. Rename the file and scan again. Check if there is a file with the same name as the file you want to save in the shared folder. Delete the saved file or select a different file name.
