I cannot scan over a network. What should I do?

• If you have problems scanning over a network, try these solutions:

  • If you are scanning a large original at a high resolution, a network communication error may occur. Try scanning again at a lower resolution.
  • If network communication was interrupted while starting Epson Scan 2, exit Epson Scan 2, wait a few seconds, and restart it. If Epson Scan 2 cannot restart, turn off your product, turn it back on, and try restarting Epson Scan 2 again.
  • Check the scanner setting and reset the connection if necessary using Epson Scan 2 Utility:

    Windows 11: Click , then search for Epson Scan 2 Utility and select it. Make sure your product is selected. If necessary, select the Other tab and click Reset.

    Windows 10: Click and select EPSON > Epson Scan 2 Utility. Make sure your product is selected. If necessary, select the Other tab and click Reset.
