The error e100-0000 occurs when the sensor cannot verify the movement of the scanner carriage. Physical obstruction is the most common cause if the printer was recently moved.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Check for obstacles: Gently open the scanner area and inspect the slider path.
  2. Full Reset: Unplug the unit for 5 minutes and restart the unit to trigger a re-calibration.
  3. Sanitize: Wipe the exposure glass with an alcohol-free cloth to ensure sensor clarity.
  4. Final Test: Observe the scanner carriage on startup for any stuttering motion.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid placing heavy objects on the scanner cover. Clean the platen glass regularly to ensure dust doesn't interfere with the light-sensitive components.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after a full power cycle, the scanner motor or the flex cable connection likely needs repair by a service technician.
