Epson PX-M680F Error 0x02BF
The Epson PX-M680F printer may display error code 0x02BF, accompanied by the message “EJ2 PID reverse error.” This error pertains to the paper feed mechanism of the printer. When this error occurs, the paper feed fails to function properly due to various issues.
One common cause of the error is when the paper feed is obstructed by objects such as jammed paper. Another possible cause is an overload of the paper feed mechanism, which can hinder its operation. Additionally, if there is disengagement or tooth breakage in the wheel train of the paper feed mechanism, the error may occur.
Another reason for the error could be the failure to read the EJ2 motor encoder, which is responsible for accurately controlling the paper feed. The error may also be triggered by the jumping of the EJ2 timing belt, causing a disruption in the paper feed process.
Contamination of the EJ2 encoder scale or damage to the EJ2 encoder FFC (flexible flat cable) can also lead to the error. In certain cases, the EJ2 encoder sensor may malfunction, causing the error code to appear on the printer’s display. Lastly, a failure of the main board can also be a potential cause of this error.
To troubleshoot this error, it is recommended to first check for any paper jams or obstructions in the paper feed mechanism and remove them if found. Additionally, if there is an overload of paper, reduce the amount of paper in the tray. If any damage or disengagement is found in the wheel train or timing belt, it may need to be repaired or replaced.
If the issue persists, it is advisable to contact Epson customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance in resolving the error.
