Common causes

  • 1Debris or paper stuck in feed path.
  • 2Worn-out rubber on feed rollers.
  • 3Faulty motor control board.
  • 4Overloaded paper input tray.

Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If the error E007 triggers upon scanning, the scanner motor is sensing a stall. Open the ADF cover to inspect the feed path for obstructions.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Clear path: Open the scanner cover and remove any paper remnants or staples causing a block.
  2. Check feed rollers: Inspect rollers for wear or sticky debris that causes irregular traction.
  3. Test mechanics: Manually spin the rollers to ensure the transport motor isn't seized.

Prevention and Maintenance

Replace the roller kit periodically. Use the scanner only for clean document stacks to ensure the motor operates within specified load parameters.

When to call a technician

If the path is clear but the motor won't turn, the internal control electronics may be failing. Contact Brother authorized support.

Frequently asked questions

The feed motor is experiencing resistance higher than normal, indicating a mechanical stall inside the paper path.

Worn-out rollers often cause the motor to overcompensate, potentially leading to E007 errors.

Yes, do not attempt to force the machine to feed if it stops; check for jams first.

Ensure your document stack is organized and remove all staples/paperclips before starting.
