1. INTRODUCTION
Please take your time to read this manual thoroughly to obtain comprehensive knowledge about
the scanner before serving the unit.
(1) Before trying to disassemble the scanner, make sure the power supply cord of the scanner is
disconnected from the power outlet. Under any circumstance, do not remove or install the
connectors on the scanner with the power supply turned ON.
(2) Use caution not to drop small parts or screws inside the unit when disassembling and
reassembling. If left inside, they might cause the malfunction of the unit.
(3) Do not pull the connector cable when disconnecting it. Hold the connector.
(4) When carrying the scanning head unit, put it in an anti-static bag.
(5) Keep the document table glass surface always clean. If contaminated, use a dry clean cloth
for cleaning.
(6) Use caution not to injure your fingers or hands when disassembling or reassembling the
unit.

The reflected rays of your original as shown in the above Figure 3.1 pass through the lens and
create an image on the CCD (Charged Coupled Device). Then, according to the different light
intensity perceived by the CCD, the CCD will transfer these data into a series of analog signals
to the main board, where the signals are turned into digital signals. These digital signals flow
to the USB 3.0 Controller to transfer to a host computer.

4. PROBLEM SOLVING
Diagnostics
Troubleshooting
This chapter supplies two paths for dealing with operational problems. The first relies
on the scanner’s internal diagnostics. The second uses troubleshooting flowcharts and
tables to isolate the problem. In many cases, the internal diagnostics will help you to
locate the source of the problem quickly. Use these diagnostics first. If the diagnostics
do not locate the source of the problem, refer to Section 4.2 Troubleshooting.
4.1 DIAGNOSTICS
The scanner has internal diagnostics to help you determine the cause of operational
problems. Some of the diagnostics function with the scanner online, while others are
part of a separate offline diagnostics feature.
Determine operational problems by observing the display panel and check the LED.
With the scanner online and operating normally, the LED is on. Other LED indications
are described in the following table.
4-1
4.1.2 Offline diagnostics
To run the offline diagnostics, and turn the power back on. When you first turn the
scanner back on, the LED light will blink, indicating that the diagnostics are in
progress. Observe the front panel LED closely. In a short time, the LED indicates the
results of the offline diagnostics as explained in the table below.
To return the scanner to online operation, turn off the scanner and turn the scanner
back on.
4-2
4.1.3 Diagnostic flowcharts
Use the flowcharts that follow to determine the exact problem when either the online
or offline diagnostics indicate a group error. Refer to Chapter 4 for parts replacement.
This flowchart applies when the LED is off and LCD shows Error code 2013 with the
scanner online, and there is paper in the ADF paper tray.
