Epson Artisan 810 Error 0x12
The Epson Artisan 810 is a popular multifunction printer known for its high-quality scanning capabilities. However, users may encounter a common error code, namely “0x12 Display on SCANNER.” This error indicates a problem with the scanner function and can be caused by various issues.
The most common cause of this error is a CIS (Contact Image Sensor) module failure. The CIS module is responsible for capturing the images during the scanning process. If this module fails, it can result in the error code 0x12.
Another possible cause is a scanner housing failure. The scanner housing houses the CIS module and other necessary components. If the housing is damaged or not functioning properly, it can trigger the error code.
Main board failure is also a potential culprit. The main board is the central circuit board that controls the various functions of the printer, including the scanner. If there is a malfunction or damage to the main board, it can lead to the error code 0x12.
Additionally, cable or FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) disconnection can cause this error. These cables are responsible for transmitting data and signals between different components of the printer. If they become disconnected or damaged, it can result in scanner issues and the error code.
Lastly, motor failure can be the cause of the error. The motor is responsible for the movement of the scanner mechanism. If the motor fails to function properly, it can trigger the error code 0x12.
To troubleshoot this error, it is recommended to turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source for a few minutes. Afterward, power it back on and check if the error persists. If it does, it is advisable to contact Epson customer support or a professional technician for further assistance.
