Troubleshooting the Epson WorkForce WF-3640 and WF-3620 Scanners and ADFs
If you're experiencing issues with your printer's scanner or ADF, here are some things to check:
1. Check for any paper jams or debris in the ADF or scanner.
If your printer is showing a paper jam or scanner error message, the first thing to do is to check for any paper jams or debris in the ADF or scanner. Open the scanner lid and look inside for any torn pieces of paper, staples, or dust. If you find any debris, gently remove it with a lint-free cloth or a pair of tweezers.
2. Make sure the ADF or scanner glass is clean.
Dirt or smudges on the ADF or scanner glass can cause scanning issues, so it's essential to keep them clean. Use a soft, lint-free cloth and some glass cleaner to wipe the glass surface clean. Be sure to wipe off any residue or streaks left behind by the cleaner.
3. Check the connection between the scanner and computer.
If your scanner is not working correctly, it could be due to a faulty connection between the scanner and computer. Check the USB cable or wireless connection to make sure they're securely connected.
4. Update your printer driver.
If your printer driver is outdated, it could cause issues with the scanner or ADF. Check the Epson website for any available driver updates and download them to your computer.
