Solutions

Quick Diagnostics

The E-001 error is visible through a blinking status light. If the scan process stops immediately upon starting, it is a clear indicator of a paper feed failure or sensor blockage.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Power Off: Safely disconnect the device.
  2. Open Lid: Use the release lever to access the inner path.
  3. Clear Jam: Remove all paper fragments gently.
  4. Wipe Rollers: Clean the rubber feed rollers with isopropyl alcohol.

Prevention and Maintenance

Avoid scanning documents with staples. Clean the rollers every 5,000 pages to prevent dust accumulation. Always use recommended document carriers for delicate paper.

When to Call a Technician

If clearing the path does not resolve the error, there may be a permanent sensor malfunction or a motor failure requiring professional service.
