Epson M2110-M2118-M2119 Error code 0x4B, also known as the “Scanner/ADF FB BS+ lock error,” indicates a problem with the scanner of your Epson printer. This error is often caused by various factors, such as encoder failure, tooth skip or improper tension of the timing belt, gear crack, cable or FFC disconnection, motor driver failure, or main board failure.
Troubleshooting this error requires identifying the specific cause and taking appropriate steps to resolve it. Here are some possible solutions depending on the cause:
1. Encoder Failure: Check the encoder strip for any damage or misalignment. Clean it carefully with a lint-free cloth if needed. If the strip is damaged, consider replacing it.
2. Timing Belt Tension or Tooth Skip: Examine the timing belt for any visible damages or looseness. Adjust the tension if necessary or replace the belt if it is causing tooth skipping.
3. Gear Crack: Carefully inspect the gears within the scanner for any signs of cracks or damage. Replace any defective gears to ensure smooth operation.
4. Cable or FFC Disconnection: Check the cables and FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) connections between the scanner and the main board. Reconnect or replace them if necessary.
5. Motor Driver Failure: Test the motor driver for functionality. If it is faulty, consider replacing it to resolve the error.
6. Main Board Failure: In rare cases, the main board may be the culprit. Consult a professional technician or Epson customer support for further assistance in diagnosing and replacing the main board if needed.
