Command error

The scanner has received incorrect commands from your scanning software.

When this error occurs, try to rescan the document. The scanner returns to normal when it receives correct commands. Normally you do not need to reset the scanner when this type of error occurs.

Fatal error

This type of error indicates one of the following problems:

Check that the transportation lock is released. Also, check the installed options, if any, for problems. Next, turn the scanner off and then back on again. If this does not correct the problem, consult your dealer.

Option error

This indicates a problem with an installed option, such as a paper jam, an empty document feeder, or an open cover.

Check the option and then correct the cause of the problem.
