Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the E-1 error happens consistently during large scan batches, the culprit is often a low-quality USB cable or electromagnetic interference near the connection port.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Disconnect the USB cable from both the scanner and the PC.
  2. Connect the device to a different USB 3.0 port (preferably on the back of the PC).
  3. Replace the cable with an original or high-speed shielded cable.
  4. Reinstall the PaperStream IP drivers to ensure the device registry is clean.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use short USB cables (less than 2 meters) to maintain signal integrity. Clean the inner roller compartment regularly and schedule a preventive maintenance cycle every 100,000 pages.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the scanner still displays E-1 after testing with different cables and ports, the internal USB control board may have suffered an electrical fault.
