Epson K201 Error 0xC4
Error code 0xC4 on the Epson K201 printer indicates an ink device error, which could be caused by various issues such as ink cartridge failure, holder board assembly failure (related to CSIC or contact), main board failure, or cable or FFC disconnection. When encountering this error, users need to perform troubleshooting measures to rectify the problem.
Firstly, it is advisable to check the ink cartridges. Ensure they are properly installed and not empty or expired. Replace any faulty cartridges with genuine Epson cartridges.
If the issue persists, the next step is to examine the holder board assembly. This involves inspecting the CSIC (cartridge chip) and the contacts for any dirt, damage, or improper connection. Clean the contacts if necessary and ensure they are securely attached.
Moreover, a malfunctioning main board can lead to the error code 0xC4. In this case, it is recommended to contact Epson customer support or a professional technician for diagnosis and potential replacement of the main board.
Lastly, inspect the cable or FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) connections. Ensure they are not loose or disconnected. Reconnect them firmly if needed.
By following these troubleshooting steps, it is possible to resolve the ink device error indicated by error code 0xC4 on the Epson K201 printer. However, if the problem persists or seems beyond your expertise, seeking assistance from Epson support or a qualified technician is advisable.
