Epson WF-M5190 Error 0x02C0
The Epson WF-M5190 printer may display error code 0x02C0, along with the message “EJ2 PID lock error.” This error indicates that the EJ2 motor has either not run or is obstructed in the paper path. It could also be a result of an overload in the paper feed mechanism. Other potential causes include a frayed or jumping EJ2 timing belt, disengaged wheel train in the paper feed mechanism, or a broken tooth.
Another possible reason for the error is the failure to read the EJ2 motor encoder. This can be caused by contamination on the EJ2 encoder scale. Additionally, a disconnection, break, skew, or damage to the EJ2 encoder FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) can also lead to this error. A malfunction in the EJ2 encoder sensor or the motor itself, such as a broken lead wire or disconnected connector, can also trigger the error code.
In some cases, the issue could be with the main board, indicating a failure in the printer’s internal system.
To troubleshoot this error, begin by checking for any paper jams or obstructions in the paper path. Inspect the EJ2 timing belt for any signs of fraying or jumping. Ensure that the wheel train in the paper feed mechanism is engaged properly and that none of its teeth are broken.
Clean the EJ2 encoder scale carefully to remove any contamination. Check all the connections and cables associated with the EJ2 encoder for any damage or disconnection. If the issue persists, it may be necessary to replace the EJ2 encoder sensor or motor. In rare cases, the main board may need to be replaced to resolve the error.
It is advisable to contact Epson customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance if the error persists or if you are unsure about performing any troubleshooting steps.
