Epson XP-322-323-325 Error 0xC8
The Epson XP-322-323-325 printers sometimes encounter an error code 0xC8, which is displayed on the printer’s screen. This error is related to ink device issues, specifically ink cartridge failure. It may also indicate problems with the holder board assembly (such as CSIC or contact failure), main board failure, or even cable or FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) disconnection.
When this error occurs, it is important to troubleshoot the issue to resume normal printing functionality. First, check if the ink cartridges are inserted correctly and firmly. Ensure that the protective tape has been removed from the cartridges before insertion. If any of the cartridges are running low on ink, replace them with new ones.
If the cartridge replacement does not resolve the error, there might be a problem with the holder board assembly. In this case, it is recommended to contact Epson customer support or a qualified technician to inspect and repair the device. They can assess if the CSIC or contact is faulty and replace the necessary components.
If the error persists even after checking the cartridge and holder board, it could be a main board failure. Unfortunately, this requires professional repair or replacement of the main board. Reach out to Epson support or an authorized service center to have it inspected.
Lastly, occasionally the error may be caused by a cable or FFC disconnection. Verify that all cables and FFCs are properly connected and not damaged. If disconnection or damage is found, they should be securely reconnected or replaced accordingly.
Remember, it is always beneficial to consult the printer’s manual or Epson’s support resources for specific instructions tailored to your printer model.
