Use a soft cloth dipped in water with very mild detergent, totally wrung and wipe. Take care to clean rollers and glass. You can use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) industrial grade and clean rubber rollers, if required. Dont use any chemical solvents. Paper is not good as it can shred into pieces and small piece can lodge itself in sensors.

Canon DR 6080 Error Code C01

The top cover is held in position by a small piece of plastic on both sides. Open the Left hand side cover and you will notice the catch with two screws. Unscrew them slightly push it down and tighten again. This should solve the problem.

Disconnect the scanner from the computer. Uninstall driver software, shut down and restart the Comp. Reinstall the driver. (http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0036991.asp?model= ). connect the scanner and the system will report USB device plugged in. This should work.

I have a canon 6080 scanner. getting a error "no

Clean the two 'black dots' in the paper tray, just under the roller. They are actually paper sensors. Try 'page counting'. If this works, the scanner is okay. If the problem still persists, try reloading the scanning software.

Clean the glass thoroughly with a damp cloth. Dont use solvents. Check if the glass is scratched, if scratched you may need to replace it.

Canon dr 6080 scanner is getting papers but i dont know where the scanned images are being saved and whether being saved or not?

What scanning software are you using? Once you initiate scan command, the software will ask for location (and format) where you want to save the files. After scanning, try & use 'Save as' command, by default it will go to where it is already saved. Alternatively, search for the file name under Windows.

Dr 6080 4401 error code

Wht happens after the comp displays 4401 error? Does the system hang? If you can still use the comp, then forget it. Frankly I have not faced this error. But freak errors like these can be seen even if your OS files are damaged. Try reinstalling the OS in another partition. If the scanner works fine in the new environemnt, you can be sure that some files are damaged.
