What usually causes it

  • The SMTP/POP3 server address or port is wrong.
  • The mail service is down or not listening on the configured port.
  • The printer's network cannot route to the server.

What to try

Step 1

Verify server name and port

Compare both values with the mail administrator's current settings.

Step 2

Check the printer's network link and addressing

Confirm its IP, gateway, and DNS are valid.

Step 3

Confirm the mail service is reachable

Check that the server is online and accepting the configured service.

Step 4

Retry the same scan

After connection is restored, resend the original small job.

After each corrective action

Retry the same operation that produced 2101. If it now works, stop there rather than changing unrelated printer, network, or service settings.

If the code returns

If 2101 remains, treat it as a connection-path problem before changing credentials.

When service may be needed

These settings affect network or mail security. If the required server, authentication, or certificate values are managed by your organization, have the administrator make the change rather than guessing.
