Why am I getting the message "the system cannot find the path specified" when trying to scan?

Hi,
Try to right click the drive and go to properties. On the drive properties window, click on security tab then change the permissions from there.
Hope this helps.

Sounds like a virus/malware.
Scan with Malwarebytes in safe mode (F8 on boot up)
I would also switch your system restore off while you virus scan, lots of nasties can hide there.
Its up to you if you turn it back on later.
If you dont have any Antivirus ( but i think you probably will have :) )
Try AVG9 FREE or Microsoft Security Essentials

Most often permission problems are the result of a virus.I recommend down loading the free version of avira anti virus then run a scan in safe mode and see whats on your system.

You need to re-install the driver.
That should resolve you problem.

Had this same problem and just fixed it. You need to actually change the button settings in Navigator. Open MP navigator and choose One-Click, then click Button Settings. You can choose a new save destination from here. Even though you are using the software instead of the button on the device, it works.

Check the location where you are directing the scanner/computer to store the scanned image. If it is full, obviously it cant store. Change the location where there is space.

Please check the location where the file saved by your Scanner and note down its size.

Also as you mentioned in your next reply, you need to go for check Device manager. Reinstall the drivers.

Let me know if you need further assistance. Don't forget to vote me.

hi, you may be using windows XP with NTFS file system.
some body/virus has redused the file permissions in your system. Scan the system with an updated virus scanner.

thanks

When specifying the destination you need to complete the address to include the folder. Just like specifying a path manually, the server/folder.
You need add the folder as part of the server path.

Don't worry about the clean roller message. It is just a reminder much like your scheduled maintenance light that appears in your car.

Start Failure can occur for a number of reasons. When you get a start failure message close your scanning software and reopen it. Sometimes your connection may degrade if left idle. If that doesn't work shut down the scanner and pc. Turn on the scanner and wait until it is fully initialized before turning on the PC. These steps have resolved that problem for me. Lacking a manual, I just try things. Good Luck
