What usually causes it

  • The server address or port may be wrong.
  • DNS or routing may prevent the device from reaching the directory server.
  • A firewall, server outage, or TLS configuration can block the connection before authentication begins.

What to try

Step 1

Check the configured LDAP server address and port

Compare the saved host name/IP and port with the organization's current directory settings.

Step 2

Check basic network reachability

Make sure the printer has a valid network connection, gateway, and DNS when a host name is used.

Step 3

Check server availability and policy

Ask the administrator whether the LDAP service is running and reachable from the printer network.

Step 4

Retry the directory operation

After restoring the connection path, repeat the same address search/login before changing account credentials.

After each corrective action

Retry the same operation that produced LDAP 81. If it now works, stop there rather than changing unrelated printer, network, or service settings.

If the code returns

If LDAP 81 persists while the server is known to be online, investigate DNS, routing, firewall, TLS, or the configured port rather than assuming a bad password.

When service may be needed

This is a network/directory connection condition. Internal printer disassembly is not appropriate.
