Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If the ADF fails to grab the paper, the U1 error indicates that the mechanical feed system cannot initialize. It is a protective mode to prevent damage to the scan glass or the feeder itself.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Unlock: Open the feeder hatch.
  2. Clear: Remove any stuck paper or staples.
  3. Sanitize: Clean the rollers with professional scanner cleaner fluid.
  4. Reset: Shut the hatch and retry the scan operation.

Prevention and Maintenance

Keep your scan path clear. Regularly replacing the pick roller kit ensures your throughput remains at the advertised 27 ppm without downtime.

When to Call a Technician

If the rollers are visibly worn down or the sensor still reports U1 after a deep cleaning, you likely need a professional replacement of the internal feeder assembly.
