Common causes

  • 1Documents with clips or staples blocking the path.
  • 2Dirty or worn feed rollers lacking traction.
  • 3Sheets with inadequate weight that curve easily.
  • 4Optical sensors obstructed by dust that fails to detect paper movement.

Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If documents stop halfway or fold when entering, the E6 error will activate. Check the scanner exit and input tray to detect misaligned or damaged sheets.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Open tray: Open the front cover to access the feed roller area.
  2. Remove paper: Carefully remove any trapped document, avoiding sudden yanking that could damage the rollers.
  3. Roller cleaning: Use a lightly dampened cloth with alcohol to wipe the roller surfaces, which improves their grip.
  4. Verification: Close the lid, reboot the device, and test with a single standard-weight document.

Prevention and Maintenance

Replace the roller kit (pick rollers) according to the manufacturer's recommended cycle. Avoid scanning highly textured paper or extremely low weight paper (like onion skin) without a carrier sheet, as this often causes frequent jams.

When to call a technician

If the error E6 persists after cleaning the rollers and removing the paper, the paper presence sensor might be broken or the drive motor might be experiencing torque issues.
