Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The error U4 is displayed on the scanner panel when the device fails to detect a document presence, preventing the machine from initializing the scan sequence.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off the scanner and disconnect from the wall.
  2. Open the ADF lid to check for paper fragments or debris.
  3. Clean the sensors using a lint-free cloth or canned air.
  4. Power on and observe if the device passes the initial self-check.
