ASCII Character in file path

I have been trying to upload an address book into a Xerox MFP Phaser 3635 but the file path does not work. The note for the upload - "please use ASCII characters only in the file path"
Would anyone know the proper format in ASCII to upload from Z:\email addresses\diabetes\address.csv

I canot edit the file path after browsing to the file. I did try placing the file on the root directory with the same problem. We have several Xerox units and I have always been successful importing the information but this unit is the the only one requiring the ASCII characters in the file path.
I tried using Firefox and it worked - wonder what setting in IE8 is blocking this file import?
It's not a setting.  IE converts spaces in file names and paths to underscores under some circumstances.

Here is the solution.
Export an address book file from the Xerox Phaser (or other workstation giving you trouble).  It will be a blank sheet with column headers.  Leave the column headers alone.
Copy and paste the names and email addresses you want from an existing sheet you had made and paste under the heading, matching the info in the column with your content.
Then you can import the address.csv file.
This worked for me using Firefox.
