Epson BX305FW+ Error 0x08
The Epson BX305FW+ is a multifunction printer that may encounter the error code 0x08, which is displayed as “CR LOAD POSITION reverse error.” This error occurs when the CR (Carriage Return) motor fails to rotate in the correct direction during printing. Additional causes for this error include CR encoder failure, paper jam, tooth skip, improper tension of the timing belt, or even a main board failure.
To troubleshoot this issue, first, check for any paper jams. Remove any jammed paper carefully without causing damage to the printer. Once the paper jam is cleared, restart the printer and see if the error persists.
If the error continues, inspect the timing belt for any skipped teeth or improper tension. Ensure the timing belt is correctly aligned and properly tightened. If necessary, seek assistance from a professional technician to fix any timing belt issues.
If the error still persists, there may be a problem with the CR motor or encoder. In such cases, it is recommended to contact Epson customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance. They can diagnose and resolve any motor or encoder-related problems.
In rare cases, the main board could be the cause of the error. If all other troubleshooting steps have been exhausted, it might be necessary to replace the main board to resolve the issue.
In conclusion, the Epson BX305FW+ error code 0x08 indicates a CR LOAD POSITION reverse error, which can be caused by various factors such as CR motor failure, encoder malfunction, paper jams, timing belt issues, or main board failure. Following the troubleshooting steps mentioned above should help resolve the error and restore the printer’s functionality.
