Epson L6160-L6161-L6168 Error 0x02BE
The Epson L6160-L6161-L6168 printer may sometimes display the error code 0x02BE, which is related to the EJ2 PID excess speed error. This error occurs when the printer fails to read the EJ2 motor encoder. There are a few potential causes for this error.
One possible cause is the contamination of the EJ2 encoder scale. Dust, debris, or ink residue can accumulate on the encoder scale, preventing the printer from obtaining accurate readings. Regular cleaning of the encoder scale with a soft cloth can help resolve this issue.
Another potential cause is the skew or damage of the EJ2 encoder FFC (Flexible Flat Cable). The FFC connects the encoder to the printer’s main board and any damage or misalignment can disrupt communication. In such cases, replacing the damaged FFC may be necessary.
Failure of the EJ2 encoder sensor or motor driver can also lead to this error. These components are responsible for ensuring proper movement and feedback of the encoder. In such cases, professional assistance may be required to diagnose and replace faulty components.
In rare cases, the error may be due to a failure of the main board. The main board controls all the printer’s functions and if it malfunctions, it can cause various errors, including the EJ2 PID excess speed error. In such instances, contacting Epson support or a professional technician is recommended for further assistance.
To troubleshoot the EJ2 PID excess speed error, it is advisable to check for any contamination on the encoder scale, inspect the FFC for damage, and ensure that the EJ2 encoder sensor and motor driver are functioning properly. If the issue persists, contacting Epson customer support or a qualified technician is the best course of action to resolve the error.
