What usually causes it

  • The scan repository/server name cannot be resolved or obtained.
  • DNS may not be configured correctly for the device.
  • The saved repository/server address may be wrong or obsolete.

What to try

Step 1

Check the scan repository/server address

Confirm the destination host name is still correct.

Step 2

Check DNS settings

If a host name is used, verify the Xerox device has a working DNS server.

Step 3

Use an IP address only as an administrator-approved diagnostic

Xerox documentation notes that defining the repository by IP can separate name-resolution trouble from repository availability; preserve your organization's intended configuration.

Step 4

Retry the original scan

Once repository addressing works, send the same scan again.

After each corrective action

Retry the same operation that produced 016-772. If it now works, stop there rather than changing unrelated printer, network, or service settings.

If the code returns

If 016-772 returns with correct DNS and repository settings, have the network administrator verify name resolution and access from the Xerox device network.

When service may be needed

Xerox hardware procedures vary by family. Stay with user-accessible paper/supply actions described for the reviewed models; if the fault returns after those checks, use the exact code and model when contacting support.
