What usually causes it

  • A file with the same generated name is open or locked by another user or application.
  • Backup, synchronization, antivirus, or workflow software has an exclusive lock on the destination file.
  • The printer's filename rule is repeatedly colliding with an existing locked file.

What to try

Step 1

Check the destination folder for the conflicting file

Look for a file with the name the printer is trying to create or replace.

Step 2

Close the file or release the lock safely

If a user or application has the file open, close it normally. Do not delete an important file just to clear the printer error.

Step 3

Check the filename rule for repeated collisions

If the printer reuses the same name, adjust the documented filename or timestamp option so new scans receive unique names.

Step 4

Retry once the lock is gone

Resend the same scan and confirm a new file can be created in the folder.

After each corrective action

Retry the same operation that produced 16712713. If it now works, stop there rather than changing unrelated printer, network, supply, or service settings.

If the code returns

If 16712713 returns with no visible open file, have the server administrator check for hidden locks from synchronization, antivirus, backup, or document-management software.

When service may be needed

This condition is on the destination file system. Escalate to the server/application administrator if the lock cannot be identified; there is no reason to open the printer.
