Fujitsu fi-6801 Error E05: Optical Sensor Failure

The Fujitsu fi-6801 error E05 is a critical alert signaling a fault in the image sensor (CIS or CCD) system. This occurs when the scanner fails to receive the expected light intensity during calibration or standard operation. To resolve the error E05 in the Fujitsu fi-6801, professional cleaning of the scanning glass is the required first step.

Common causes

  • 1Accumulated dirt (dust, toner, adhesive) on the scanning glass.
  • 2Lamp failure (light intensity degradation).
  • 3Calibration error due to outdated driver software.
  • 4Deep scratches on the glass surface refracting light incorrectly.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The E05 code usually appears due to dark marks or scratches on the glass surface preventing light from reaching the sensor. Inspect the area closely under bright light.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Clean scanner glass: Use a soft cloth with non-abrasive glass cleaner to wipe down the entire scanner glass surface.
  2. Verify backlight: Check if the LED lamp illuminates correctly when starting a test scan.
  3. Calibrate optical sensor: Run the calibration tool provided in the manufacturer's software to realign the sensor.
  4. Check firmware: Update the scanner's firmware to ensure proper communication between the sensor and PC.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Calibration should be performed regularly, especially after major maintenance or lighting environment changes. Always use the official calibration sheet for best results.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the sensor continues to error after professional cleaning and calibration, the LED lamp may have failed, or the image sensor hardware itself may require replacement.
