imageCLASS MF644Cdw Can't scan from printer to computer

Sven62 — Thu, 12 Sep 2024 18:12:26 GMT

This printer prints fine and I can scan fine with the MF Scan Utility from my computer. However, I can no longer initiate a scan to my computer from the printer's touchscreen menu becuase it doesn't see my computer anymore. I select "Scan" and then "Computer" and a message comes up "Connect to Computer" whereas it used to show my computer listed for me to select. So, how do I "Connect to Computer"?

TIA
