Solving Problems

You can diagnose some problems by checking the scanner’s lights, as described in this 
section. If you don’t find the answer here, see “Problems and Solutions” on page 41.

Follow the guidelines below when you check your scanner’s lights: 

READY

 light is on or 

flashing.

The green 

READY

 light is on when the scanner is ready to 

scan. It flashes when scanning is in progress.

ERROR

 light is flashing; 

READY

 light is off.

There’s a problem with your cable connection. Reconnect 
the cable to both the scanner and your computer, and then 
restart your computer. If this doesn’t work, try using a 
different cable. If you have a USB connection, use the USB 
cable that came with your scanner. If you have a SCSI 
connection, always restart your computer after changing or 
reconnecting the cable.

ERROR

 and 

READY

 

lights are both on.

The scanner has received an incorrect command from your 
scanning software. Try rescanning the document.

ERROR

 and 

READY

 

lights are both off.

Make sure your scanner is connected to a working outlet, 
then press the P power button. Restart your computer.

If the green 

READY

 light doesn’t come on, there may be a 

problem with either the transparency unit or automatic 
document feeder. Make sure your unit lies flat against the 
scanner. Then reconnect it to the 

OPTION

 connector on the 

back of the scanner. If you have a transparency unit, make 
sure you removed the shipping screw from the hole 
labeled 

CLAMP

. Make sure your automatic document 

feeder has paper and there’s no paper jam.

ERROR

 and 

READY

 

lights are both flashing.

Check that the transportation lock on the back of the 
scanner is set to 

UNLOCK

. If not, unlock the scanner, then 

turn it off and back on again. Restart your computer. If this 
doesn’t solve the problem, contact EPSON as described on 
page 51.
