Epson L3150-L3151 Error 0x86C5
The Epson L3150-L3151 printer may encounter the error code 0x86C5, which is displayed on the printer’s screen. This error primarily indicates a wiping contact error, carriage overload error, deformation of the main frame, deformation of the CR (Carriage) guide rail, CR Encoder failure, CR Motor failure, or cable disconnection.
The wiping contact error occurs when there is an issue with the contact between the printer’s printhead and the ink cartridges. It may be caused by dirt, dust, or dried ink interfering with the contact. To resolve this problem, cleaning the printhead and cartridge contacts with a soft lint-free cloth is recommended.
Carriage overload error signifies excessive strain on the carriage mechanism due to obstructions or a misalignment. To troubleshoot this issue, ensure there are no paper jams or foreign objects obstructing the carriage’s movement. Additionally, check if the carriage is properly aligned and can freely move from side to side.
Deformation of the main frame or CR guide rail can cause the printer to display this error. These deformations can be due to physical damage or force applied to the printer. In such cases, it is advisable to contact Epson support for further assistance.
CR Encoder failure and CR Motor failure indicate problems with the encoder or motor responsible for the carriage movement. These failures may require professional repair or replacement of the faulty components.
Lastly, the error may arise due to cable disconnection. To troubleshoot this, ensure all cables connecting the printer components are securely plugged in and not damaged.
In case the error persists after performing troubleshooting steps, contacting Epson customer support or a certified technician is recommended for further assistance.
