This error is common after heavy use when dust build-up affects optical sensors. The fi-7030 is highly reliable but requires routine cleaning to maintain scan accuracy. Following these maintenance steps will restore full functionality quickly.
Common causes
- 1Dust accumulation on optical sensors.
- 2Worn or residue-covered feed rollers.
- 3Document weight outside supported range.
- 4Physical wear of input guides.
