Replacing the Scanner Light Source

The luminosity of the scanner light source declines over time. If the light source breaks or becomes too dim to operate
normally, the scanner stops working and both the Ready and Error lights rapidly flash. When this happens, the light
source assembly must be replaced by a professional. For details, contact Epson. See

Contacting Epson Support

for

more information.

Caution:

Never open the scanner case. If you think repairs or adjustments are necessary, contact Epson.
