Epson TX220 Error 0x10
The Epson TX220 printer is equipped with a scanner that can sometimes encounter an error code 0x10, resulting in the display showing the error message. This error refers to a problem with the scanner’s home position detection, where it is unable to accurately detect its starting point or proper position. There are a few potential causes for this error.
The first possible cause is a failure in the CIS Module, which stands for Contact Image Sensor. If this module has malfunctioned, it can lead to inaccuracies in the scanner’s detection process, resulting in the error code 0x10.
Another cause for this error could be related to the scanner housing. If the upper section of the housing, where the home seek pattern is located, becomes dirty or contaminated, it can interfere with the scanning process and trigger the error code. Additionally, damage to the lower section of the housing, known as the rack section, can also cause the error.
Lastly, a scanner motor failure could be responsible for this error. If the motor that controls the movement of the scanning mechanism experiences a malfunction, it can prevent the scanner from accurately detecting its home position and result in the error code.
To troubleshoot this error, try the following steps. Firstly, clean the scanner housing and ensure that there are no obstructions or dirt affecting the scanning process. If the problem persists, consider contacting an authorized service center to inspect and potentially replace the CIS Module or scanner motor, if needed.
Overall, the error code 0x10 related to the Epson TX220 scanner indicates a problem with the detection of the scanner’s home position and may require professional attention to resolve.
