Why can't I set default settings on kyocera scanner?

1) Download (Handcent next SMS) app, and set as default message app.
2) open and pull down menu in upper right corner, and click on delivery reports.
3) delete all undelivered messages.
4) exit, and click on stock SMS app, and set as default messaging app, or continue to use Handcent as default messaging app. PROBLEM SOLVED! :)

Have you considered changing or checking the toner cartridge?
Does it display a low toner light?

I had a similar problem with a copy machine, where ALL the settings were correct and the toner was light.

The problem was the toner cartridge, the toner was caking because of the temperature. All it took was a good shake at the toner cartridge and it worked.

Also, check to see if the scan bed is messy, a good cleaning the the scanner bed should work as well.

Hope That helps!

enter the device page by putting the IP Address of the scanner card into your web browser and it should pop up a device web page where you can enter your address settings.

Check the PC that you are trying to scan to amd make sure that the Scanner File Utility is up and running. You can check this by looking for the scanner icon in the bottom right corner, if it's not there click on start, all programs, scanner user software, scanner file utility, click on Scanner Utility to bring it back up, it just might have gotten closed accidently. If none of this works go into the control panel and click on firewall amd make sure file and printer sharing is checked, if it is you may have to turn Windows Firewall off to make the Scanner work.

press default setting/counter button
press bypass setting
press paper type

you need to get the i.p address of your scanner and access it from your browser.
on the bottom left of the command centre menu you will see SCAN TO PC  "destination" .
put your details in new screen. if you are using a static i.p address for your pc put that in.
if you are running dhcp you should use the host name of your pc

yes you can !
turn OFF the copier and unplug the power cord and the network cables!! Take off the scanner board - there is a jumper to reset the scanning system to default factory settings. Install the scanning system and power the copier. Wait till is Ready to Copy + 2 minutes. turn OFF and unplug the power cable, restore the jumper on the scanning system board. Put it back and power up.

If you have a Kyocera copier with the scanner fitted you need to get the IP address of the scanner. To do this you have to go to the copier, go into "system menu/counter" , select the scanner default, scroll down to tcpip, get the IP address. Once you know the IP, type it into the address bar on your browser. A Command Centre page should come up. Follow the prompts and you should get to where you need to be.

There are two ways to do this... from the panel or from the computer.

From the copiers panel

1) press the * button marked as System menu on the panel. Then you select "scanner default". you will be asked for a code. try 5000 if this does not work 6482 will. Now select "default settings"

The setting should be in here if memory serves me right. change it and at the top of the page be sure to touch on "Close" and not "back" touching "back" will result in that the setting will not be saved.

From your computer

1) get the scanner card's I.P. address. this is done by pressing the * button marked as System menu on the panel. Then you select "scanner default". you will be asked for a code. try 5000 if this does not work 6482 will. Now select "system basic setting" and write down the IP address shown on the display. Now Press the yellow reset button with the two white lines on the panel to exit. If you do not exit the menu using this button you will have to wait about 2 minutes for the scanner card to reboot.

2) from any computer connected to the network, open your web browsing utility (Internet Explorer if you're running Windows) and in the address bar where you would normally type the address of the website, type in the IP address that you wrote down in step1, and press enter.

3) In the left hand side of the screen, click on "Scanner default settings. the file format setting should be found in here. change it to PDF, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "SUBMIT"

The 2050 uses 2 network connections, one for the printer and one for the scanner.
Before I go into any great detail,
Do you have a home network? Are you using a switch?
Are you printing through the network connection or the USB/parallel port?
Are you trying to twain scan? Do you have the software CD for scanning.
If not, you will need to download the drivers from the Kyocera web site.
