Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

Listen for a clicking or thumping sound when the machine boots. This indicates the motor is struggling to calibrate the scan head.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Check Locks: Ensure the scanner transport lock is in the 'unlocked' position.
  2. Clean Glass: Wipe the glass surface with a lint-free cloth to ensure no particles are blocking the path.
  3. Power Cycle: Reboot the unit to trigger a new calibration cycle.

Prevention and Maintenance

Keep the printer in a stable, flat area. Avoid shocks that could dislodge the scanner belt.

When to Call a Technician

If the carriage is visibly stuck or emits repeated noises, the entire scanner unit likely needs professional service.
