Epson M2120-M2128-M2129 Error 0x008D
Epson M2120-M2128-M2129 printers sometimes display the error code 0x008D, indicating an issue with the Stacker motor. This error occurs when the motor stops running during operation due to either excess load or a malfunction in the motor or its associated components.
One possible cause of this error is an overload of the Stacker mechanism, which can occur when there is excessive paper or objects blocking the Stacker’s movement. Another potential cause is broken gears within the Stacker motor assembly, which can hinder its operation.
An encoder error might also trigger the error code 0x008D. This error occurs when there is an issue with the Stacker motor encoder, a device that helps the printer track the position of the motor. If this encoder becomes contaminated or malfunctions, it can disrupt the motor’s function.
The error code may also indicate a failure in the Stacker motor itself. If the motor is faulty or damaged, it will not be able to continue running, resulting in the error message.
Finally, a failure in the main board of the printer can lead to the error code 0x008D. The main board is responsible for coordinating the functions of various components within the printer, including the Stacker motor. If the main board malfunctions, it can result in motor errors and other operational issues.
To troubleshoot this error, it is recommended to check for any paper jams or obstructions in the Stacker mechanism. Additionally, inspect the gears for any signs of damage and clean the Stacker motor encoder scale to eliminate potential contamination. If these steps do not resolve the issue, contacting Epson customer support or a professional technician may be necessary to diagnose and repair any motor or board failures.
