Hi from yesterday I cannot scan to email. I am getting the server connection error. There was a problem Connecting to the server. Touch retry to connect again or Ok to exit. Can you help please? I've tried various suggestions in a previous link trying to change DNS settings etc. Rebooting router and printer. No luck. Can you help please? Thanks.
