Epson PX-G5000 Error OxB5
Error code OxB5 displayed on the Epson PX-G5000 printer indicates an ink device error. This error can be triggered by various issues, including ink cartridge failure, holder board assembly failure (CSIC or contact failure), main board failure, or cable/FFC disconnection.
When encountering this error, the first step is to check the ink cartridges. Make sure they are properly installed and not empty. Replace any defective or empty cartridges with new ones. Ensure that the cartridges are inserted securely without any loose connections.
If the issue persists, it is advised to inspect the holder board assembly. Verify if there are any loose contacts or failures within the CSIC (Cartridge Self-Identification Chip) system. The CSIC is responsible for identifying and communicating with the ink cartridges. If this component is damaged or not functioning correctly, it may cause the OxB5 error code. In such cases, consider replacing the holder board assembly.
If neither the ink cartridges nor the holder board assembly are causing the error, it is recommended to check the main board. A faulty main board can disrupt the printer’s communication with various components, including the ink system. In this situation, seeking professional assistance or contacting Epson customer support may be necessary for further troubleshooting steps or a potential board replacement.
Lastly, ensure that all cables and FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) connections are securely attached. Loose or disconnected cables can disrupt the printer’s operations and lead to error codes. Reconnecting or replacing any damaged cables can potentially resolve the OxB5 error.
Remember, if none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, it is advised to consult the printer’s user manual or contact Epson support for further assistance.
