Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the scanner makes a grinding noise during start-up, the E-4005 indicates the motor is blocked. Always check for staples or tiny torn paper fragments in the ADF path.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Disconnect the scanner and remove all documents from the input tray.
  2. Open the upper cover and inspect sensors for debris.
  3. Manually turn the rollers to check for smooth operation.
  4. Reconnect and restart the device to trigger a fresh initialization cycle.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Regularly clean the rollers using the manufacturer's cleaning kit. Keeping the ADF closed when idle prevents dust from contaminating the internal motor components.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after thorough cleaning, the internal gear assembly or motor may have suffered irreversible mechanical wear and needs servicing.
