When trying to scan, I get the following message: "The specified destination (image saving folder) is invalid. I have not specified a destination folder, don't know what this means.

When I move the motherboard on a ix500 from one unit to another does the page count / serial number move with it or is it stored somewhere else? Is a problem reported as with the optical system on the motherboard or another part of the scanner?

My scanner is connected via wires and turned on. When I attempt to scan a document, the scanner light blinks off and on and doesn't scan. I've checked the connections and everything if plugged in tightly. I don't understand why the scanner has stopped working, nor what the blinking light means. Can anyone advise me?

I had the same problem. I found out a tab for WiFi in the back was selected to "ON". I moved to the "OFF" side and the scanner worked fine.
