Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

The E-2 error activates when the operating system loses the "handshake" with the device while the scanner is in standby or processing a heavy load. If the scanner's light blinks with this code, the USB data bus is not responding correctly.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Disconnect the USB cable from the scanner and the PC.
  2. Restart the host computer and the scanner.
  3. Connect the cable to a native USB port on the PC (avoid external hubs).
  4. Open PaperStream software and check if the device appears in the list of available scanners.

Prevention and Maintenance

Use certified USB 3.0 cables to maintain data integrity. Keep scanner firmware updated through the official PFU/Fujitsu website. Perform dust cleanings on external ports to ensure optimal contact.

When to call a technician

If reinstalling the driver and changing the data cable does not resolve the E-2 error, the scanner's main logic board likely has communication port damage.
