Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the scanner stops with a page halfway through, the C-003 error has activated. Check if the paper is wrinkled or if multiple pages were pulled into the scanner simultaneously.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Open ADF: Open the top cover of the ADF to access the internal scanning area.
  2. Manual removal: Gently pull any stuck documents without applying excessive force.
  3. Secure closure: Make sure the ADF clicks when closing to reactivate the presence sensor.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid inserting documents with staples or tape. Regular cleaning with a lint-free cloth keeps output rollers gripped enough to prevent this error. If issues persist, it is time to check the friction roller condition.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If you find broken plastic parts or the rollers won't turn after removing the jammed paper, the internal mechanism likely has a defect requiring professional support.
