Epson TX820FWD Error 0x02
If you own an Epson TX820FWD printer and encounter the error code 0x02 along with a display message, it is important to understand the nature of the problem to effectively troubleshoot it. The error code 0x02 indicates a CR PID excess speed error, which can be caused by multiple factors.
One possible cause is a CR encoder failure, where the component responsible for measuring the carriage movement malfunctions. Another potential reason is tooth skip or improper tension of the timing belt, affecting the printer’s ability to accurately position the carriage. Disconnection of cables or flexible flat cables (FFC) can also lead to this error, disrupting communication between components.
Additionally, a motor driver failure can contribute to the occurrence of the error code. The motor driver is responsible for regulating the movement of the carriage, and if it fails, the printer may display the 0x02 error code. In some cases, the main board of the printer may also be the root cause of the problem.
To troubleshoot this issue, start by checking for any loose or disconnected cables and FFCs. Ensure they are securely connected to their respective ports. If the issue persists, examining the CR encoder and timing belt for any signs of damage or misalignment is advisable. If any problems are identified, they should be addressed accordingly.
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, consider contacting Epson customer support or seeking assistance from a professional technician. They can further diagnose the problem and provide appropriate solutions, such as replacing faulty components or repairing the printer’s main board if necessary.
