Epson Artisan 700 Error OxFC
If you own an Epson Artisan 700 printer and come across an error code OxFC with the message “PF LOAD POSITION excess judgment error” displayed on the printer’s screen, it means there is an issue with the printer’s paper feed mechanism. Several factors can contribute to this error, including encoder failure, PF motor failure, PF mechanism overload, or cable or FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) disconnection.
One possible cause of the error is an encoder failure. The encoder is responsible for monitoring the position of the paper feed mechanism. If it malfunctions or isn’t recognized by the printer, it can result in the OxFC error code. Another potential cause is a failure of the PF motor, which drives the paper feed mechanism. If the motor stops functioning properly or completely fails, it will trigger the error.
Another factor that may lead to the error is an overload of the PF mechanism. The printer may detect an excessive load on the paper feed system, causing it to display the OxFC error code. Lastly, a cable or FFC disconnection can also be the culprit. If the connection between the printer’s components is disrupted or loose, it can result in a communication breakdown and trigger the error message.
To troubleshoot this error, you can try the following steps:
1. Power off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
2. Open the printer and check for any paper jams or obstructions in the paper feed mechanism. Clear any debris if found.
3. Ensure all cables and FFC connections are securely plugged in and not damaged.
4. Power on the printer and check if the error persists.
If the error message continues to appear, it is recommended to contact Epson support or a qualified technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose the exact cause of the error and provide the necessary solution to fix your Epson Artisan 700 printer.
