  • 2Improper adjustment of paper guides.
  • 3Worn or residue-coated pick rollers.
  • 4Feeder motor synchronization fault.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The E4 error triggers when the scanner detects higher-than-normal resistance during the initial feed. If you hear the motor whirring but the paper doesn't move, check the side guides for improper spacing.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Empty tray: Remove all documents and restart the scanner.
  2. Align paper: Insert a single sheet to check if the feed mechanism grips it properly.
  3. Adjust guides: Set guides to touch paper edges without squeezing.
  4. Quick clean: Wipe the rubber pick roller surface with an alcohol-moistened cloth.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Do not exceed the 20-sheet limit. If used daily, plan for a roller kit replacement annually. Keep the scanner closed when not in use to avoid internal dust contamination.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the E4 error continues after roller cleaning and guide adjustment, the feeder motor may have an internal fault requiring professional service.
