Epson XP-400-401 Error 0x22
sensor (EP sensor) error. Logic board failure.
The Epson XP-400-401 printer error code 0x22 is a common issue that users may encounter during their printing tasks. This error is displayed on the printer’s screen, indicating a problem with the home position seeking process.
The home position seeking error occurs when the printer fails to reach the target position flag while seeking the starting position. This can be caused by several factors, including a paper jam, paper feed error, or the presence of residual paper in the printer.
One possible cause of this error is a cable or FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) disconnection. If the cable connecting the printer’s components is not properly connected, it can lead to communication errors and result in the 0x22 error code.
Another potential issue is the front ASF home sensor or the rear ASF phase sensor. These sensors are responsible for detecting the position of the paper and ensuring smooth feeding. If these sensors are faulty or not functioning correctly, it can lead to errors during the home seeking process.
In some cases, a logic board failure may be the culprit behind the 0x22 error. The logic board is the central hub of the printer’s operations, so any malfunction in this component can cause various errors, including the home position seeking error.
To troubleshoot this error, users should begin by checking for any paper jams and removing any residual paper from the printer. Next, they should ensure that all cables and FFCs are securely connected. If the error persists, it may be necessary to contact Epson customer support or seek professional assistance to diagnose and repair any faulty sensors or logic board issues.
