Error Light Troubleshooting Codes
The status light indicates the current state of the scanner.
Descriptions of the most common patterns are listed below.
Contact Xerox Technical Support if you experience a different
blinking pattern.
Normal Operation
• Blinking green: indicates the scanner is waking up from power
saving and preparing to scan.
• Steady green: indicates the scanner is ready to scan.
Error Codes
If your scanner experiences hardware problems, the status light
turns to an amber color and will blink. The number of blinks before
a 3-second pause indicates the type of error code.
In all cases you should turn off your scanner and check your
scanner setup. Verify the ADF cable is plugged in, that the scanner
lock is in the unlocked position, verify connections to PC and wall.
