Epson XP-442-443-445 Error 0x0090
The Epson XP-442-443-445 Error code 0x0090 is a common issue that may be displayed on your printer. This error message can indicate several problems, including a STK PID lock error, remaining protective material, panel encoder failure, pickup roller driving system overload, or cable or FFC disconnection.
If you encounter a STK PID lock error, it means that the printer’s PID (Positional Interlock Device) is locked. This can happen if the printer has been subjected to excessive force or if there is an obstruction preventing the printer head from moving freely. To troubleshoot this issue, you can try powering off the printer and removing any obstructions. If the problem persists, it is recommended to contact Epson support for further assistance.
The error message regarding remaining protective material refers to any packaging material that might still be present inside the printer. It is important to check and remove any protective tapes or packaging materials that may have been left inside during the initial setup.
A panel encoder failure indicates an issue with the printer’s encoder sensor. This component is responsible for accurately detecting the position of various printer parts. To resolve this issue, it is recommended to clean the encoder sensor carefully or replace it if necessary.
If you are experiencing a pickup roller driving system overload error, it means that the printer’s pickup roller is facing excessive resistance. You can try cleaning the roller or replacing it if it is worn out.
Lastly, the error may be triggered by a cable or FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) disconnection. In this case, you should check all cables and connections to ensure they are securely attached.
If you are unable to resolve any of the above issues on your own, it is always advisable to seek professional assistance from Epson customer support or an authorized service center.
