Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

The error appears when the scanning software fails to detect the device during startup. If the status light flickers intermittently, it confirms a physical connection conflict via USB.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Reconnection: Unplug the USB cable from both the scanner and the PC, wait 5 seconds, and reconnect.
  2. Port Selection: Connect directly to a USB port on the PC motherboard, avoiding external hubs.
  3. Software Restart: Close all scanning apps, restart your PC, and reopen Epson Scan 2.
  4. Driver Update: Check the Epson website to see if the device needs a firmware or driver update.

Maintenance and Prevention

Clean the feed rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened in distilled water every 5,000 scans to prevent paper jams that might trigger communication errors.

When to Call a Technician

If the error persists after testing on another PC with a different cable, the internal scanner USB port may be physically damaged.
