Solución paso a paso

  1. Connect the scanner via USB to a stable computer.
  2. Download the latest firmware from the official Brother support site.

  4. Follow on-screen instructions and do not unplug the cable during the process.

Avoid powering off the device during updates. Use a surge protector (UPS) to protect the internal memory from power spikes. Keep drivers and software updated via official channels.
