That's a rather generic description, not much information given such as what error messages do you see, did you check with Ricoh for updated software for the device, etc.

The error I,m getting is Connection has failed, Check settings. I have checked the settings and everything looks ok to me.

Check if there's an updated driver, determine if the printer is compatible with WIn10

My comments apply to the Ricoh W2400/W3600...

A local business went from WinXP to Win8 and had the same problem with the same error message. Comments from other users indicate that Win8 uses a new version of SMB (3.0) that the Ricoh does not understand. Presumably Win10 uses the same version.

Ricoh tech support confirmed the issue and advised there was a firmware upgrade that would resolve the problem. The machine owner did not want to go that route so I set up an FTP Server on the PC and configured the scanner accordingly. Fortunately the change was transparent to the end-users.

So, I would check with Ricoh about a firmware upgrade for your scanner.
