Epson PX800FW Error 0x70
The Epson PX800FW is a highly efficient printer that offers a wide range of features for both home and office use. However, users may occasionally encounter an error code 0x70 displayed on their printer, indicating an issue with the APG (Automatic Paper Guide) motor drive. This error code can be caused by various factors, including APG sensor failure, APG motor failure, foreign object obstruction, or cable/FFC disconnection.
When the APG sensor fails, it means that the printer is unable to detect the position of the paper guide accurately. This could be due to a faulty sensor or a misalignment causing the sensor to malfunction. On the other hand, a failed APG motor can result in the paper guide not moving smoothly or at all, causing paper jamming issues.
Another common cause of the error code is a foreign object, such as a small piece of debris, obstructing the movement of the APG motor or sensor. Similarly, a loose or disconnected cable/FFC can prevent proper communication between the printer components, resulting in the error code 0x70.
To troubleshoot this issue, start by checking for any foreign objects around the APG motor and sensor. Gently remove any debris found. Additionally, ensure that all cables and FFC connections are secure and properly attached.
If the error persists, consider resetting the printer by turning it off and unplugging it for a few minutes. Afterward, plug it back in and power it on to see if the problem has been resolved.
If the issue continues, it is advisable to contact Epson customer support for further assistance or consult a professional technician to diagnose and address the problem effectively.
