  • 2Sticky residue from tape or labels on sensors.
  • 3Mechanical obstruction causing sensor misread.
  • 4Internal controller firmware glitch.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

U10300 is triggered by an inconsistent reading from the optical sensors. If you have recently scanned dirty documents or receipts with adhesive, the sensors are likely coated in debris.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Access: Open the ADF hood.
  2. Clean: Wipe the small optical sensors in the document path with F1 fluid.
  3. Verify: Ensure no visible smears remain on the sensor windows.
  4. Power Cycle: Reset the unit.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Keep the device lid closed when not in use. Monthly cleanings with the designated maintenance kit prevent residue accumulation on sensitive optical parts.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error U10300 remains after a thorough cleaning, internal sensor hardware likely requires professional intervention or replacement.
