Could be a loose connector on the scanner or DC controller from the scanner. That’s unlikely.

error ##336
ANSWER : It means abnormal temperature in the print head. Only thing you can do other than replacing the print head is to try cleaning it. That’s done by removing all the ink tanks. On the right side of the cartridge assy., you’ll see a plastic lever. Lift that up to release the print head assy. It just lifts out from the back. Take it over to the sink and run hot tap water through the screens on top and then flip it over and run it over the heads on the bottom. Repeat a few times and then reinstall and try again.
