What usually causes it

  • The file server or NAS is slow, overloaded, asleep, or temporarily unavailable.
  • Packet loss, routing, VPN, wireless backhaul, or firewall inspection is delaying the SMB session.
  • A large scan or slow destination causes the SMB operation to exceed the printer's allowed response time.

What to try

Step 1

Retry a small scan after confirming the server is awake

Use one simple page to separate a general connectivity timeout from a job-size problem.

Step 2

Check server responsiveness from the printer network

Have the administrator verify the destination responds normally from the same VLAN or network path used by the printer.

Step 3

Look for packet loss or an overloaded destination

Review network and server health before changing authentication or permissions; a timeout is not the same as access denied.

Step 4

Retry the original job after the path is stable

If the small test works, resend the original scan and compare size and duration. Large-job-only failures may need destination or workflow tuning.

After each corrective action

Retry the same operation that produced 16713768. If it now works, stop there rather than changing unrelated printer, network, supply, or service settings.

If the code returns

If 16713768 repeats on small jobs while the server is healthy, trace the SMB path for latency, packet loss, firewall inspection, or intermittent reachability from the printer network.

When service may be needed

Persistent SMB timeouts should be handled by the network/server administrator or vendor support. Internal printer repair is not the first step.
