Epson PX-435A Error 0x10
The Epson PX-435A scanner displays the error code 0x10, indicating a Home Position Detection Error. This error can be caused by various issues including CIS Module failure, a dirty home seek pattern in the scanner housing upper section, a damaged rack section in the scanner housing lower section, motor failure, or insufficient lighting.
CIS Module failure refers to a malfunction in the Contact Image Sensor module, which is responsible for capturing images during the scanning process. If this module fails, it will need to be repaired or replaced.
The scanner housing upper section contains the home seek pattern, which helps the scanner locate its starting position. If this home seek pattern is dirty or obstructed, the scanner may have difficulty determining its home position. Cleaning or servicing the scanner housing upper section may resolve this issue.
The scanner housing lower section consists of a rack section that moves the scanning mechanism. If this rack section is damaged or misaligned, it can cause errors in the scanning process. Replacing or repairing the rack section may be necessary to fix this problem.
The scanner motor is responsible for driving the scanning mechanism. If this motor fails, the scanner will not be able to move properly and will display error code 0x10. Replacing the scanner motor may be required in this case.
Insufficient lighting refers to a lack of proper illumination during the scanning process. This can result in inaccurate or incomplete scans. Checking and adjusting the lighting conditions, or using an external light source if necessary, can help resolve this issue.
If you encounter error code 0x10 on your Epson PX-435A scanner, it is recommended to follow the troubleshooting steps provided above. If the issue persists, it may be necessary to contact Epson customer support for further assistance.
