  1. Full power cycle: Unplug the printer and leave it off for 2 minutes.
  2. Manual inspection: Look for any debris obstructing the scanner carriage movement under the glass.
  3. Reset: Power the unit back on; the carriage should cycle and calibrate automatically.
  4. Driver update: If the hardware moves correctly but fails on the PC, reinstall the scanner drivers from the website.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Do not overload the scanner lid with heavy materials to prevent pressing the glass against the carriage. Keep the scanner glass clean with a non-abrasive cloth.
