destination if the destination and the printer reside on different subnets. The Windows Firewall must either be

If the three configuration settings for the File Name section of the application configuration page are not selected
(allow user to enter file name; append time stamp; overwrite existing file), and a file using the default file name
already exists within the destination, then there will be no method in place to distinguish the newly scanned file from
the file present in the destination. The printer will not be able to overwrite the old file, the new file will not receive
a time stamp to differentiate it from the old file, and the user will not be able to give the new file a different name.
In this case, the old file must either be removed from the destination, or one of the previously mentioned settings
must be turned on.
