Epson WF-6530-6533 Error 0x79
The Epson WF-6530-6533 printer occasionally encounters an error code 0x79 accompanied by the message “Optional cassette unit 1 LIFT PID lock error” displayed on its screen. This error usually indicates one of several possible issues, including a lift motor failure, encoder failure, lift driven mechanism overload, cable disconnection, or FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) disconnection.
When a lift motor failure occurs, the printer’s motor responsible for lifting the optional cassette unit encounters a malfunction, preventing it from operating correctly. An encoder failure may indicate a problem with the device’s position detection mechanism, impairing its ability to identify the cassette unit’s height accurately. If the lift driven mechanism becomes overloaded, it can impede the movement of the cassette unit, leading to this error code. Additionally, cable or FFC disconnections between the lift motor and other printer components can also trigger this error.
To troubleshoot this issue, several steps can be taken. Firstly, ensure that no obstructions are hindering the movement of the optional cassette unit. If present, remove any paper jams or foreign objects. Restarting the printer may also help resolve the error. If the issue persists, carefully check all cable connections and FFCs, ensuring they are securely attached and undamaged. If any cables are loose or damaged, they may need to be repaired or replaced.
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the error, it is recommended to contact Epson customer support or a certified technician for further assistance. These professionals possess the expertise to diagnose and resolve more complex technical issues related to the Epson WF-6530-6533 printer, effectively restoring its normal functionality.
