When this occurs, the printer freezes the interface to protect against data errors. This is typically caused by loose connections or firmware synchronization issues.
Common causes
- 1Loose or faulty flat ribbon cable.
- 2Scanner controller board communication fault.
- 3Corrupted firmware after update.
- 4Damage to the main logic board due to power spikes.
