Epson cx6600 printer jam
I have an Epson CX6600 which when I turn it on, immeadiately goes into
a paper jam error situation. There is nothing in the paper track - the last function I used prior to the error starting was a nozzle check and the paper went through no problem. Is there a sensor I should be looking for? Is there a cleaning procedure to follow? I've read else where that a "factory reset" may cure the problem - how is that done on a CX6600? Also is there a maintenance PDF download anywhere on the internet for the CX6600? Thanks In advance |

If indeed you have no paper transport issues, you may need to
relubricate the guides the head carriage rides on. I am not familiar with the interior of the CX6600 to know which guides they have used. Some use a large highly polished cylindrical bar, and some use some angularly bent steel which the head runs along. The cylindrical bar should be cleaned with a clean lint free rag or towel and some isopropyl alcohol. Then place about two drops of lightweight machine oil, like 3in1 or sewing machine oil onto the bar and spread it well. Then place one small drop to each side of the head carriage where the bushings meat the bar. If the unit uses the angle metal you need some lightweight white lithium grease. If you don't have any, some automotive stores carry something like it, or you can try to slightly redistribute the lubricant that is already there, as a temporary fix. If that doesn;t do it report back with the specific LED(s) that are flashing, what color, and the flash pattern and timing.

Head Carriage moves over to left, back to right, over to left and finally back to right, Head Carriage settles in the far right position. All 4 green "options" lights flash continuously AND Red exclamation mark and the message "Error - Paper Jam" immediately appear. I have cleaned the highly polished cylindrical bar as advised with isopropyl alcohol and sprayed some WD40 on the bushings either side of the head carriage. I then manually slid the head carriage along the cylindrical bar a few times to ensure oil was distributed but the error reoccurs in exactly the same way. The normal process when the printer starts is ... (I know this because I have a second one of these printers!!) Head Carriage moves to replace cartridges position Paper feeders/rollers spin as though trying to check/clear paper path for 5 seconds. Head Carriage moves over to left, back to right, Head Carriage drifts slowly about 5cms to leftt then Head Carriage settles in the far right position. Any further advice? |
