Scanner motor Error message appearing of 'Error in the pick up motor' What does this mean?!

This appears to be a Ricoh printer error message. Error messages are generally brand specific.

One website offers the following about this error message:

Code
SC121
Description
Scanner home position error 2
The scanner home position sensor does not detect the on condition during initialization or copying.
Causes
• Scanner home position sensor defective • Scanner drive motor defective • IOCSS board defective • Scanner home position sensor harness defective bq

In other words, it appears to be a message that a physical component of the printer is blown, bad, defective. That leaves you looking up the warranty and weighing the cost of repair or replacement. As you have not identified the model of the printer, it is impossible to weigh the cost/reward of repair.

E046 Main drive PCB
(Controller CPU judgment)
If a communication error occurs between
the motor or sensor and PCB, an error
message appears. If it appears, reset the
main body and computer power. If the same
error message/code still appears, check the
connection of the related part, and if it is faulty,
correct it. If there is no problem with connections,
replace the related part. For motors,
check the connected drive transmission parts
and operation check sensor as well.

The internal drive motor had malfunctioned. With that is possibility that little to no movement will happen. Replacement of the motor needs to done by a professional.

The only fix that I know is to get the scanner/copier assembly(that's the assembly at the very top where the copier is) replaced.
I don't imagine that it is cheap. Get an estimate 1st.

Hello,
Basically, for most of HP printers error 52 means laser-scanner motor incorrect speed...
Try to replace laser-scanner assembly (visit authorized service)
Good luck!!!

From the service manual, both errors relate to the scanner unit:

[5012] An error occurred in the scanner FB motor.
(1) Cable connection (2) Part replacement: - Scanner unit

[5050] The AFE was faulty.
(1) Cable connection (2) Part replacement: - Scanner unit

I don't know if the following YouTube video will help, but you could watch and see if it applies to your printer.

Hello,

Does the scanner displays any error message on the scanner panel? Is there any TWAIN error message?

If paper jam occurs, U1 error will be displayed on the scanner panel and TWAIN driver will display " Paper jam the ADF (Code DS32002)" error message.

This error is detected when one of the followings occurs:

1) A document does not reach the TOP sensor while the scanner has transported the document about 250 mm to pick. (The scanner
performs retry operation.)

2) The trailing edge of a document does not reach the TOP sensor after the scanner transports the document by the length (L) below. (The document may have slipped on the rollers) Scan condition Transported length.

In order to assist you with your scanner issue, Please provide the issue details with error message.

If nothing is being displayed, then the issue could be due to failure in Pick Motor function or Pick Sensor malfunction.

Hope the above information is helpful.

Thank you for contacting FixYa.
