Diagnóstico rápido

The C-001 error usually occurs during PaperStream startup. If the scanner remains silent or the status lights do not blink when connected, it is a clear sign of physical communication failure.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Check connection: Reconnect the USB 3.0 cable to both the scanner and a different PC port.
  2. Reset drivers: Update or reinstall the PaperStream driver from the official support site.
  3. Scan test: Run a simple scan to verify if the C-001 error persists.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Always use shielded high-speed USB cables and avoid hub extensions that might degrade the signal. Roller cleanliness is essential; accumulated dust can lead to minor document slips that the system might misinterpret as link errors. Use genuine maintenance kits.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after trying different ports and cables, the internal scanner motherboard may have a hardware defect.
