This error occurs when the scanner thinks the input tray is empty or blocked. If the tray is loaded with paper, the sensor is likely obscured by particles or dust.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Open the document feeder access cover.
  2. Look for any paper scraps or dust in the feed path.
  3. Clean the optical sensors using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
  4. Re-close the feeder cover firmly.
  5. Restart the scanning software on your PC.

Prevention and Maintenance

Do not scan documents with staples or adhesives. Clean the feed rollers with distilled water on a cloth every month to maintain perfect paper grip.
