What usually causes it

  • The SMTP server is not offering an authentication method supported by the device.
  • Mail security policy may have changed since the printer was configured.

What to try

Step 1

Identify the mail server's allowed authentication methods

Use the mail administrator's current requirements.

Step 2

Compare them with the Kyocera device's supported options

Choose a method supported and permitted by both sides.

Step 3

Keep transport security consistent

Do not downgrade security simply to make an old authentication method work.

Step 4

Retry the original email scan

Confirm authentication now proceeds without 3201.

After each corrective action

Retry the same operation that produced 3201. If it now works, stop there rather than changing unrelated printer, network, or service settings.

If the code returns

A recurring 3201 means the device and mail service still have no mutually acceptable authentication method.

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.
