Question about Panasonic KV-S2046C Pass-Through Scanner

2 Answers

Ready/Error Light When powering up my scanner the ready light blinks green then settles on Red. Sofware says to remove paper in scanner. There is no paper in the scanner and everything appears to be normal. I have another scanner just like this one and it turns on with a ready green light. I've done everything short of throwing it off a tall cliff! What can I do to fix this? Thanks!

    Sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. Green or red on all three of my scanners! After weeks of hit and miss you solved the problem. Never knew there was a sensor there. Problem solved.

    Make sure to clean BOTH the gap and the opposite side where it rests when the door is closed.

IT have just been down to look at our scanner & cleaned the sensor which is in between the rollers just where the paper flits out at the bottom - we now have a green light! So look for that sensor.

Once i powered the avision 220 on, The moniter shows E and 7

Hello,

When you first turn the scanner on, the READY light will blink, indicating that the diagnostics are in progress. Observe
the front panel Error LED (Red) closely. In a short time, the Error LED indicates the results of the offline diagnostics as
explained below.

Ready LED(Green) is off and Error LED(Red) indicates 7, the error indication is"Face down light check failure".

Followings are the solution for the above problem:

1. CCFL is on? Yes. CCD error, Optical assembly is to be replaced.
2. CCFL is on? No. Inverter error. Lamp inverter circuit is to be replaced.
3. CCFL is on? Yes. Issue resolved.
4. If the CCFL is still off, then CCFL is to be replaced.

Hope the above information is helpful.

Please revert if you have any doubt.

Thank you for contacting FixYa.

The red light is blinking and it doesn't print.

There are actually some certain meaning on the red light and green light showing different information to user. The summaries are:
1) Green On, Red Off = Printer Ready.
2) Green Fast-Flashing, Red Fast-Flashing = Printer warm up.
3) Green Fast-Flashing, Red Off = Printer off-line.
4) Green Slow-Flashing, Red Off = Processing Data.
5) Green Off, Red On = Cover Opened, Toner Empty or Developer Unit / Drum unit missing.
6) Green Off, Red Fast-Flashing = Paper Jam or waiting for jam reset.
7) Green Off, Red Slow-Flashing = Paper Empty or Paper tray is not inserted.
8) Green Off, Red Off = Printer power is off.
9) Green Very-Slow-Flashing, Red Off = Printer in sleep mode.
10) Green (any condition above), Red Slow-Flashing = Toner low or paper empty.

So what is your printer condition? Better know what is going on your printer so can solve the problem.

The start button won't turn green when power turned on.

if the machine needs toner you will be able to change paper size & reduction but the machine will not come to ready[green ready light lit]. so if the machine keeps running after you turn it on it needs toner. if you leave it on for lets say 15 min. does it give you an add toner light or an error code?

Scanner

check and clean the exit sensor.
You will find then in the middle behind the exit roller in the paper exit area.
Normaly it is unimpossible to see this sensor because the roller axle is in front of them.
It is the same sensor type like the other sensors with an sender/receiver an a reflector foil.
Helpfull to clean will be a q-tips or a small brush.
