  2. Remove the paper from the rear tray by pulling it straight and slowly with both hands.
  3. Inspect the path by opening the scanner lid; remove any small scraps using blunt-tip tweezers.
  4. Close all doors and power on the machine to trigger a sensor recalibration.

Prevención y mantenimiento
