Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the scanner head makes an unusual sound or does not move when trying to copy or scan, the E-11 error is imminent. Check that no elements are blocking the scanner glass from inside or outside.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off the device and disconnect the power cord.
  2. Check that the scanner lid closes correctly and does not exert excessive pressure.
  3. Ensure there are no adhesive residues on the underside of the glass.
  4. Power on the printer and observe if the scanner attempts to calibrate (moves to the edges).
  5. If the movement is blocked, clean the scanner carriage rails very carefully.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid placing heavy objects on the scanner lid. Keep the glass clean using a microfiber cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaning products that could damage the crystal coating.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the scanner carriage does not move after a reset or a constant screeching sound is heard, the scanner motor may be failing or the data cable may be loose.
