| CE-03 | The scanned image was not sent because the server was busy or there was too much traffic on line. Wait briefly and then try again. |
| CE-05 | The scanned image was not sent because the directory of the destination FTP server was not correct. Make sure that the correct FTP server information is configured in the Web page. |
| CE-06 | Scan data cannot be sent as E-mail address that is stored in the Destination List is not adequate. Check if the stored destination information is correct. |
| CE-09 | The size of the scanned image file exceeds the limit set in "Maximum Size of E-mail attachments" in the Web page. Reduce the number of original pages scanned into the file, or change the limit set in "Maximum Size of E-mail attachments". Or it may exceed the limit of the file size at the mail server. Reduce the volume of the original, otherwise change the resolution or the colour mode to make the scanned file size smaller. |
| CE-11 | The memory became full during scanning. Scan less pages, lower the resolution, or change the colour mode so that the file size is smaller, and try scanning again. |
| CE-12 | The maximum number of destinations of a global address search has been exceeded. Increase the number of search characters to narrow the range of the global address search. |
| CE-14 | Check if the USB flash memory is not set to write-protect. |
| CE-15 | Check that the USB flash memory has enough free space to accept the data size to be scanned. |
| CE-16 | Check that the USB flash memory has no problem |
| CE-17 | Check that the file names in the USB flash memory do not exceed 256 characters per file, or check that the USB flash memory has no problem. |

Troubleshooting
This chapter describes troubleshooting and misfeed removal. If you encounter a problem when using the machine, check the following troubleshooting guide before calling for service. If you cannot resolve the problem using the troubleshooting guide, turn off the main switch, disconnect the power cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer.
| Trouble | Cause and Solution |
|---|---|
| The power is on, but copying does not take place. | Press the [COPY] key to select copy mode. |
| The text is blurred when I make a copy. | Select a suitable exposure for the original in the copy exposure screen. Change the exposure to "Text" with the [EXPOSURE] key. |
| Blank copies. | The original is not placed face up in the document feeder or face down on the document glass. Place the original face up in the document feeder or face down on the document glass. |
| White or black lines appear on copies. | The scanner glass for the document feeder is dirty. Clean the long, narrow scanning glass. |
| Printing is slow. | Simultaneous use of two or more application software programs. Start printing after quitting all unused application software programs. |
| The printed image is light and uneven. | The paper is loaded so that printing takes place on the back side of the paper. Some paper types have a front and back side. If the paper is loaded so that printing takes place on the back side, toner will not adhere well to the paper and a good image will not be obtained. |
| Transmission takes a long time. | When there is a large amount of image information, the data file is also large and transmission takes a long time. |
| The [START] indicator is not lit in the USB Memory Scan mode. | The USB flash memory is not recognized or not inserted, or any device other than USB flash memory is inserted in the USB port. Check the USB port. |
| "Check the USB memory." appears in the display during USB Memory Scan. | Any device other than USB flash memory is inserted in the USB port, the USB flash memory is write-protected, or it was taken off during USB Memory Scan. Check your USB flash memory and use it properly. |
| "Memory is full. Job is cancelled." appears in the display during USB Memory Scan. | The memory of the USB flash memory became full. Use the USB flash memory with sufficient memory. |
| White or black lines appear in the transmitted image. | Is the document glass or the scanning glass for the document feeder (the long, narrow glass) dirty? Clean the document glass or the scanning glass for the document feeder. |
| Transmission does not take place at the specified time. | Is the machine's clock set to the correct time? Set the clock to the correct time. |
| A received fax prints out blank. | Was the wrong side of the original scanned in the transmitting machine? Check with the operator of the transmitting machine. |
| The received image is faint. | Is the original faint? Ask the other party to re-send the fax using a suitable exposure setting. |
| The received image is distorted. | Were line conditions poor due to thunder or another reason? Ask the other party to send the fax again. |
