Chosen Solution
We recently moved our perfectly working and little used R2880 from one office to another, but in a carton that’s probably turned over and over … On unpacking it still looks in perfect order. However …. Here’s what happens on Startup: The printed carriage does its little vertical dance then travels slowly fully left then slowly fully back to the right. Shortly after the start sequence checks the normal upper paper feed. There’s immediately a clearly audible ‘click’ and both the ‘paper’ and ‘ink’ lights flash in unison at about one second intervals. Here’s what I observe: Where the paper normally sits, there are 4 plastic ‘dogs’ that the paper normally rests on. The 2 nearest the on/off side of the printer are not in the right place; they are lower than usual i.e. they are not supporting that side of the paper. It is precisely when this part is checked by the system that the lights illuminate. Solution? How to I get to the part that has come adrift? What are the risks - if any - in taking this apart? My technical skills Enough to take apart and mend my Nikon D600 camera using iFixit teardown data Epson Maintenance Manual I have downloaded a copy of the Maintenance Manual, but it doesn’t say how to take this printer apart. Software Check - Fatal Error Code Readout I’ve downloaded the latest software checker. This reports all OK, except that the printer reports as FATAL ERROR that must by fixed by hand. “Last printer fatal error code 1 0x53 PF/ASF reset error” Please help!!! I can find no technician here in France within a sensible driving distance with my motor-car.
I have the same printer Epson r2880. All is working fine until the yellow ink cartridge was empty . I changed it for a new one turned the printer on and off. Printed a photo , no yellow only pinks and blues. I changed the yellow ink again went through the same process and turned the computer and printer off over night . I hopefully tried again without luck . Please help me fix the problem. Thank you Deborah
