Epson ET-2650 Error 0x0066
The Epson ET-2650 printer may encounter an error code 0x0066, which is displayed on its screen. This error is referred to as the I/S PID excess speed error. It typically occurs due to various reasons, including motor encoder failure, a contaminated encoder scale, a disconnected or damaged FFC (Flexible Flat Cable), encoder sensor failure, motor driver failure, or even main board failure.
Motor encoder failure could be caused by an issue with the printer’s motor encoder, resulting in incorrect readings or failure to detect the proper position of the printer’s components. A contaminated encoder scale refers to dirt or debris affecting the scale responsible for encoding the printer’s movements. A disconnected or broken FFC refers to a loose or damaged flat cable connecting crucial elements inside the printer. Encoder sensor failure indicates a malfunction in the sensor responsible for interpreting the printed signals, leading to inaccurate readings. Motor driver failure is related to problems with the motor driver, which controls the printer’s motor. Lastly, a main board failure involves issues with the printer’s main circuit board, resulting in multiple malfunctions within the printer’s functionality.
To troubleshoot and resolve the error code 0x0066, it is recommended to perform a series of steps. These include cleaning the motor encoder and encoder scale to remove any contamination, ensuring that the FFC connection is secure, and checking for any signs of damage. Additionally, repairing or replacing the encoder sensor, motor driver, or main board may be necessary if these components are found to be faulty. It is advised to consult the printer’s manual or contact Epson customer support for further assistance in resolving this error code.
