Diagnóstico rápido

If the error code C-4501 flashes when you attempt to scan, check if the document feeder lid is fully closed. A jammed sheet inside the ADF often causes the sensor to trigger this diagnostic lock to prevent gear damage.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Clear ADF: Open the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) cover and remove any incorrectly loaded documents.
  2. Clean Glass: Wipe the scanner glass and feed rollers gently using a soft, damp cloth.
  3. Scanner Reset: Close the ADF and reboot the unit, allowing the system to perform an initialization sequence.
  4. Firmware Check: Check if your device has the latest firmware installed to optimize ADF performance.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Keep the feeder path clean to reduce roller strain. Use official maintenance kits to replace ADF rollers when scan feed performance begins to degrade.
