Epson L3114-L3115 Error 0x02BD
The Epson L3114-L3115 printer may display error code 0x02BD along with the message “EJ2 PID excess load error.” This error occurs when the EJ2 motor abruptly stops operating during a print job. There can be several reasons for this error to occur, including obstacles such as jammed paper, overload of the paper feed mechanism, or disengaging or breakage of the gears. Another possible cause is the failure to read the EJ2 motor encoder.
Additionally, the timing belt may become frayed or jump, resulting in the malfunction of the EJ2 motor. Contamination of the EJ2 encoder scale can also lead to this error. Issues such as disconnection, breakage, skewing, or damage of the EJ2 motor cable or encoder FFC may also contribute to this error. Finally, a failure in the EJ2 motor (not completely broken) or the main circuit board can trigger the error code 0x02BD.
To troubleshoot this error, first, check for any jammed paper or obstructions in the printer’s paper feed mechanism. Clear any obstacles and ensure smooth operation. If the issue persists, inspect the gears for any signs of disengagement or breakage, and replace them if necessary. Clean the EJ2 encoder scale to remove any contamination. Examine the EJ2 motor cable and encoder FFC for damage, and repair or replace them if needed. If these steps do not resolve the issue, the EJ2 motor or the main circuit board may need to be replaced.
It is recommended to contact Epson customer support or an authorized service center for further assistance and guidance in resolving the error code 0x02BD on the Epson L3114-L3115 printer.
