Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

The E-15 is straightforward: there is an obstruction. If paper comes out crumpled, the issue is likely misalignment in the input tray guides.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Opening: Press the release button and lift the top cover.
  2. Extraction: Remove the jammed sheet from the center with both hands.
  3. Verification: Check that no staples or clips are attached to the paper.
  4. Cleaning: Wipe the rollers with a dry cloth before closing the lid.

Prevention and Maintenance

Clean the rubber rollers weekly using a lint-free cloth moistened with a scanner-specific cleaner. Do not scan documents with adhesives that might peel off inside the unit.

When to Call a Technician

If cleaning the rollers does not fix the E-15 error even without paper inside, the presence sensor may be blocked by internal dirt requiring disassembly.
