Open the scanner top cover and you should see the lock/unlock switch on the right side(on the side where adf is). Make sure you set it to "unlocked" so it can move freely. If that doesn't help, there may be a broken gear on the scanner bar.

The move the software completely. Shut down the computer. Unplug the device. Get offline and disable the A/V program. Now reinstall and do exactly what the prompts say- no short cuts.

SOURCE: Scanner locked

okay, im assuming the brother all in one in the picture is what you're on about...right?!? anywayz :) basically i think it is because you have got "faxes saved in the memory" it sounds weird but the scanner locked is coming up because the scanner is not going back to its home position. if there are faxes in its memory, it means that the memory has not been cleared. to check press menu/set 9,0,1 - if the screen says "No data" means that the memory has been cleared and i don't know what to do!! if it says "Enter fax.no" means that there are faxes in the memory, in this case, the fax must be cleared of memory, (if you need the faxes, you must save them before proceeding) turning it off clears memory apparently but im assuming you've tried that countless times.Turn off the machine's power switch and then on again. If the error message continues, leave the machine for several minutes and try it again. the MFC-7820 can store memory for up to 4 days, so watch out if you have a 7820. apparently this will resolve the issue and the message should go away, hence the scanner returning to its home position!! hope this helps

Brother 750e making juddering sound and switching into satety mode, help!!

satety? Do you mean safety? This sounds like the scanner is in a locked mode or hung up. Usually on any all in one printer there is a way to lock the scanner when moving, look under where the paper comes out for a small knob or switch with a lock/unlock picture and check to see if it accidentally has been bumped to the locked position. If the scanner can't move then it will give an error so nothing is damaged. Hope this helps.

Scanner locked?

On some models there is a transport latch to lock the scanner. Look under the scanner (where the copy comes out) and you will see a green slide. Look down thgrough the scanner glass and you will see a lock/unlock symbol.

Scanner locked on samsung 3160fn- how do I unlock it?

Hello,
I think you have to call the service. They will change the hole Scanner. Because you can't unlock the scanner by any buttons or mechanical trick!

Scanner locked - unlock scanner

To unlock a scanner open it where you would put cartridges in and look for a red or green colored tab hanging down. There should be a little picture of a padlock. You can switch it from lock to unlock. It's kept locked to protect the scanner during shipping.

Hope this is helpful...
