Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The E-300 error is typically a result of a dirty glass sensor that requires a simple wipe-down to resume normal operation.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Open the scanner: Release the top cover latch to open the scanner and expose the inner paper path.
  2. Clean the sensor: Wipe the glass sensor gently using a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with the recommended scanner cleaner.
  3. Inspect for debris: Check the document path for any stuck paper fragments, glue residue, or dust.
  4. Reboot system: Close the cover firmly, power the scanner on, and restart the ScanSnap software on your computer.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Establish a cleaning routine every 500 scans. Preventative care significantly extends the lifespan of the optical system and prevents recurring alert codes.

Frequently asked questions

This code indicates dirt on the sensor glass. The scanner detects a visual obstruction that prevents it from capturing a clean, artifact-free image.

Usually not. It is a common maintenance alert signifying that the optical path is clouded by debris, which can be resolved with proper cleaning.

Always use the official Fujitsu cleaning kit, which includes specialized cloths and cleaning fluid designed to keep the optics safe from scratches.

Perform routine maintenance by cleaning the glass and rollers every 500 scans, especially when digitizing documents with adhesive labels.
