Sounds like the scanner transport lock is in place, on some Epson models it near the front on the right hand side, on the bottom of the unit. Other older Epsons have it more conventionally at the back. Regards.

My Epsom Scanner has been disconnected from my computer since Christmas. I attached the cables this afternoon and a loud knocking sound came from the device. The sound is coming from about three inches in from the right side bottom.. Can anyone tell me what is happening please, I need to photocopy some stuff for this afternoon's post. Best wishes.
