Epson SX435W Error 0x71
The Epson SX435W printer sometimes encounters an error code 0x71, which is displayed on the device. This error is associated with the Automatic Paper Guide (APG) system, and can be caused by a few different issues including APG home position seeking error, APG sensor failure, APG motor failure, foreign objects obstructing the APG system, or cable or FFC disconnection.
When the APG home position seeking error occurs, it means that the APG system has failed to locate its initial position properly. This can lead to misalignment and cause printing problems. Similarly, if the APG sensor fails, the printer will be unable to accurately detect the presence of paper, resulting in error codes and print failures.
Another potential cause of the error code 0x71 is a malfunctioning APG motor. The motor is responsible for guiding the paper, and if it fails to function correctly, it can cause the error message to appear.
The presence of foreign objects, such as paper scraps or debris, can also cause this error. These objects can interfere with the movement of the APG system and prevent it from functioning properly.
Lastly, cable or FFC disconnection refers to any loose or disconnected cables or flat flex cables connecting the APG components. If these cables are not securely attached, the printer may display the error code.
To troubleshoot this issue, it is recommended to turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source for a few minutes before reconnecting it. Check for any foreign objects or obstructions within the printer, particularly around the APG system. Additionally, ensure that all cables and FFCs are securely connected.
If the error persists, it is advisable to contact Epson customer support for further assistance or to consult a professional technician for repair.
