imageCLASS MF249dw 'Fail to Aquire Image' error when scanning

Printer_geddon — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 15:22:44 GMT

Hello, I put the papers in through the top feeder and the papers seem like they scan fine, but on my PC screen once all the papers go through, I get a little pop up box that says 'failed to acquire image'.

I sprayed canned air, hard to see but doesn't look like there's a jam . Google says either camera lens is blurry, etc. Has anyone gotten this error?....

Hello,

Failed to acquire image would point to a driver issue. If you are using Windows 11, you can try installing the latest version of our drivers and MF scan utility from our support page. They will be at the top of the list and will say recommended above them.

Once installed, you can try a test scan using the MF scan utility. If you continue to have issues, I suggest contacting support over the phone at 1-800-652-2666. Our agents would be happy to assist.
