PRECAUTIONS
Precautionary notations throughout the text are categorized relative to 1) Personal injury and 2) damage to equipment.
DANGER Signals a precaution which, if ignored, could result in serious or fatal personal injury. Great caution should be exercised in performing procedures preceded by
DANGER Headings.
WARNING Signals a precaution which, if ignored, could result in damage to equipment.
The precautionary measures itemized below should always be observed when performing repair/maintenance procedures.
DANGER
1. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PRODUCT FROM THE POWER SOURCE AND PERIPHERAL DEVICES PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR PROCEDURES.
2. NO WORK SHOULD BE PERFORMED ON THE UNIT BY PERSONS UNFAMILIAR WITH BASIC SAFETY MEASURES AS DICTATED FOR ALL ELECTRONICS TECHNICIANS IN
THEIR LINE OF WORK.
3. WHEN PERFORMING TESTING AS DICTATED WITHIN THIS MANUAL, DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT TO A POWER SOURCE UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. WHEN THE
POWER SUPPLY CABLE MUST BE CONNECTED, USE EXTREME CAUTION IN WORKING ON POWER SUPPLY AND OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.
4. WHEN DISASSEMBLING OR ASSEMBLING A PRODUCT, MAKE SURE TO WEAR GLOVES TO AVOID INJURIER FROM METAL PARTS WITH SHARP EDGES.
WARNING
1. REPAIRS ON EPSON PRODUCT SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN EPSON CERTIFIED REPAIR TECHNICIAN.
2. MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE SOURCE VOLTAGES IS THE SAME AS THE RATED VOLTAGE, LISTED ON THE SERIAL NUMBER/RATING PLATE. IF THE EPSON PRODUCT
HAS A PRIMARY AC RATING DIFFERENT FROM AVAILABLE POWER SOURCE, DO NOT CONNECT IT TO THE POWER SOURCE.
3. ALWAYS VERIFY THAT THE EPSON PRODUCT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE REMOVING OR REPLACING PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS
AND/OR INDIVIDUAL CHIPS.
4. IN ORDER TO PROTECT SENSITIVE MICROPROCESSORS AND CIRCUITRY, USE STATIC DISCHARGE EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS ANTI-STATIC WRIST STRAPS, WHEN
ACCESSING INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
5. DO NOT REPLACE IMPERFECTLY FUNCTIONING COMPONENTS WITH COMPONENTS WHICH ARE NOT MANUFACTURED BY EPSON. IF SECOND SOURCE IC OR OTHER
COMPONENTS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED ARE USED, THEY COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE EPSON PRODUCT, OR COULD VOID THE WARRANTY OFFERED
BY EPSON.
6. WHEN USING COMPRESSED AIR PRODUCTS; SUCH AS AIR DUSTER, FOR CLEANING DURING REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE, THE USE OF SUCH PRODUCTS CONTAINING
FLAMMABLE GAS IS PROHIBITED.

3 The documents set on the document tray are fed one by one separated with the separate
pad and the paper feed roller. It is fed with the PF roller in synchronization with the
timing of scanning by the carriage.
5 After the end of the document is detected by the paper detect sensor, the document is
fed a few more steps and the scanning is regarded as complete. Then the EJ roller ejects
the document to the paper eject tray.

In the case of double-sided scanning, both the frontside and backside of the document
is scanned simultaneously during document feeding.

2.2.3 Detecting Double Feeding (GT-S80 only)

GT-S80 mounts ultra sonic sensors to detect double feeding during continuous
scanning. There are two ultra sonic sensors on both the transmitter and the receiver
across the paper feeding path. Ultrasonic emitted from the transmitter goes through the
document(s) and reaches the receiver. The receiver monitors the changes, and if the
receiver detects the double feeding, the scanner indicates the double feeding error.
The ON/OFF setting of double feeding detection can be carried out by TWAIN driver
(EPSON scan) and the detection sensitivity is also selectable according to the
document thickness.

TROUBLESHOOTING
3.1 Overview
This chapter explains the remedies for errors detected by the self-diagnostic function, and the troubleshooting based on observed symptoms to troubleshoot the problems on the
scanner quickly and efficiently.
3.1.1 Self-Diagnostic Function

This scanner has a self-diagnostic function that automatically checks the operating status of major components, and indicates the error status with the LCD and/or LED on the
control panel. The following are the error statuses and their remedies.

MAINTENANCE
6.1 Overview
This chapter explains the maintenance work necessary to keep this product in the best
condition and to prevent trouble in advance. Document reading
surfaces (glass parts)
6.1.1 Cleaning
Clean the outside of the product with a neutral detergent, and clean its inside with a
vacuum cleaner. Special care must be taken when cleaning the document reading
surfaces (glass parts) since it affects the quality of image scanning.
CAUTION Never use organic solvents, such as thinner and benzene,

because they may deteriorate or degrade the plastic and rubber
parts.
When using compressed air products; such as air duster, for
cleaning during repair and maintenance, the use of such
products containing flammable gas is prohibited.
Exterior
After wetting a clean cloth with water and then completely squeezing water out of
it, wipe the exterior with that close. If the exterior is extremely dirty, wipe it with a
cloth moistened with a small amount of detergent.
Document reading surfaces (glass parts)
Clean them with a clean, dry cloth. When the document reading surfaces are
especially dirty or have foreign material on their surface, wipe it with a cloth
moistened with a small amount of neutral detergent. If the document reading
surfaces have traces of wiping after cleaning, completely wipe them with a dry,
clean cloth again.
Figure 6-1. Cleaning
Document transfer path (Paper Feed Roller, PF Roller, EJ Roller, Idle Roller,
Separation Pad)
Wipe the rollers and separation pad in the document transfer path with a tightly
squeezed cloth. If the path is still wet after the cleaning, completely wipe it with a
dry, clean cloth again.
Make sure that the document transfer path is completely dry before using the
scanner.
