Epson Artisan 835 Error 0x4A
The Epson Artisan 835 is a highly efficient all-in-one printer that can handle various tasks, including scanning. However, there might be instances where users encounter the Error Code 0x4A Display on SCANNER. This error is often accompanied by the message “Scanner/ADF FB BS+ reverse error. Encoder failure. Gear crack. Cable or FFC disconnection. Motor driver failure. Main board failure.”
One possible cause of this error is an encoder failure. The encoder is a vital component in the scanner that helps determine the position of the scanning head. If it malfunctions or encounters any damage, it can lead to the error code. Similarly, a gear crack can also result in this error. It is important to inspect the gears for any physical damage.
Another possible reason for this error is a cable or FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) disconnection. These cables are responsible for transmitting data between different components of the scanner. If they become loose or disconnected, the error code may appear. Users should ensure that all cables are securely connected.
Motor driver failure is yet another potential cause of the Error Code 0x4A. The motor driver is responsible for controlling the movements of the scanning head. If it fails, it will prevent the scanner from functioning correctly. Lastly, a main board failure can also trigger this error. The main board is the central component that controls all operations of the scanner. If it becomes faulty, the scanner may display the error code.
To troubleshoot this error, it is recommended to check for any visible damage to the encoder or gears. Additionally, reseating the cables and ensuring they are properly connected can help resolve the issue. If the problem persists, it is advisable to contact Epson customer support for further assistance.
