Common causes

  • 1Low-quality USB cables with internal wire breaks.
  • 2Voltage drops in USB ports, common in poorly powered laptops.
  • 3Driver conflicts with outdated PaperStream versions.
  • 4Electromagnetic interference from non-shielded cabling.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The E1 error usually appears when PaperStream IP fails to detect the scanner on launch. If the device appears as 'Unknown Device' in Windows Device Manager, the issue is strictly related to data communication.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Replace the USB cable with a high-quality, shielded cable under 2 meters.
  2. Use a rear USB port if using a desktop PC, ensuring direct connection to the motherboard.
  3. Reinstall drivers by downloading the latest version from the PFU/Fujitsu support portal.
  4. Disable power management for the USB Root Hub in Device Manager.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid passive USB hubs that lack their own power supply, as they provide unstable voltage for high-speed scanning. Keep drivers up to date to ensure compatibility with the latest Windows versions.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the scanner is not recognized after testing on multiple PCs with a new cable, the internal logic board's USB port may be failing, requiring professional repair.
