      The error 'Stitching of Camera X/Y (A/B or B/C or C/D) failed' indicates that your scanner is continuously monitoring its cameras. Clean the scanning area, reboot the scanner, and then complete the maintenance steps (alignment and calibration). The problem could also be caused by a loose object in the optical path. Remove any torn pieces of paper or other loose objects from the scanning area.

    What to do if I can’t operate Contex GX67D Scanner after a firmware upgrade failure?
    • L
      Linda SanchezAug 31, 2025
      If you can’t operate or contact the Contex scanner after a Firmware upgrade failure, likely due to a power interruption, you need to bring the scanner into firmware boot mode to reapply the firmware. You can also try to restart the scanner. Turn the scanner ON so it starts its Init-Sequence and activate the boot mode before the scanner moves into self-adjustment. On scanners with SCSI interface, you can force firmware boot mode by setting the DIL switch 7 to ON.
