Epson EP-906A Error 0x42
The Epson EP-906A is a popular scanner equipped with advanced features to provide efficient document scanning. However, users may encounter an error code 0x42, which displays a SCANNER error. This error is specifically related to the Scanner/ADF FB PID reverse error. Several issues can trigger this error, including encoder failure, tooth skip or improper tension of the timing belt, gear crack, cable or FFC disconnection, motor driver failure, or even a main board failure.
To troubleshoot this error, it is recommended to start by checking for any visible damage or disconnections in the cables and FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) connected to the scanner. Ensure that all connections are secure and properly seated. In case any defects or disconnections are found, reconnect or replace the damaged parts.
If the error persists, it is possible that the encoder is failing or the timing belt has skipped teeth or is not properly tensioned. In such cases, it is advisable to seek professional assistance from Epson service centers or authorized technicians who can perform proper diagnosis and repair.
Alternatively, the error may be due to a gear crack. If this is the case, the damaged gear needs to be replaced to restore proper functionality. Again, it is recommended to consult Epson support or authorized technicians for professional assistance.
In rare instances, the error may be caused by a motor driver failure or a main board failure. These components are more complex and require expert attention for diagnosis and repair. In such cases, contacting Epson technical support or an authorized service center is the best course of action.
It is important to note that attempting to repair or disassemble the scanner without proper knowledge or expertise can lead to further damage, and it is always advisable to seek professional assistance when encountering such errors.
