  • 2Excessive wear of the separation rollers.
  • 3Dust buildup on the optical sensor array.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The scanner attempts to run the motor and stops upon sensing unusual resistance, triggering the E005 code. If abnormal noises accompany the startup, there is something physically hindering the movement.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Disconnect the device from power.
  2. Open the top scanner cover.
  3. Search for debris, staples, or paper fragments within the feeding path.
  4. Clean the rollers with a cloth slightly dampened with water and dry thoroughly.
  5. Close the lid, connect power, and run a single-sheet test scan.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use official maintenance kits to clean rollers every 5000 pages. Never scan documents with staples or adhesives that could contaminate the sensor or obstruct the motor.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the rollers are clean and no obstructions are present, yet the error E005 persists, the internal motor assembly or the feed cable has likely failed.
