Epson TX800FW Error 0x44
The Epson TX800FW is a multi-functional printer that integrates scanning capabilities. However, sometimes users encounter an error code 0x44 on the scanner display, indicating a specific issue known as the Scanner/ADF FB PID acceleration lock error. This error can be caused by several factors, including an encoder failure, tooth skip or improper tension of the timing belt, gear crack, cable or FFC disconnection, motor driver failure, or even main board failure.
An encoder failure refers to a breakdown in the mechanism that encodes the position of the scanner. This can result in the scanner not functioning properly and displaying the 0x44 error code. Tooth skip or improper tension of the timing belt can cause misalignment in the scanner’s movement, leading to the error.
A gear crack can occur due to excessive pressure or wear and tear, hindering the smooth functioning of the scanner. If there is a cable or FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) disconnection, the communication between different components of the printer may be interrupted, resulting in the error.
Motor driver failure refers to a malfunction in the motor that drives the scanner, causing it to stop or encounter errors. Lastly, a main board failure could be the underlying cause of the 0x44 error code.
To troubleshoot this issue, it is recommended to check for any physical damage or loose connections, ensuring all cables and FFCs are securely connected. If the problem persists, it may require professional assistance to identify and fix the specific hardware failure. Epson service centers or authorized technicians can provide the necessary support to rectify the error and restore the scanner’s functionality.
