Question Epson S Series Service - 0000200

Epson S Series Service - 0000200 This came up on my system this weekend and I looked it up and it's some kind of tube that needs to be changed out. However I am out of warranty and Epson said it would be $2800 for the service. I'm wondering if there are any independent tech in new england (Maine specifically) that work on these that I could use instead of going through the company that epson uses. (DecisionOne?)

Hello, Goatshaver. Hope you have your printer problem fixed. If not, I have attached a PDF page from the s40600/s60600 service manual. The service manual says nothing about a tube. Looks like there are 2 solutions (assuming you know a paper jam when you see one): replace the CR scale and/or lubricate the CR shaft. I would lubricate the shafts to see if that helps. I have all of the pads, grease, and the tool for lubricating the s40600 printer. If you will pay for shipping, I'll send it to you. In the 3.5 years my printer was working, I lubricated the shafts once. Also, there are some pads that ride on the carriage that need to be oiled periodically. These pads help to keep oil on the shafts.

That's code 2000 not 200. Epson confirmed it was a tube and not the encoder. I can print fine and no issues with print quality, if it was the encoder I'm sure I'd be seeing printing issues. I had found a thread with a listing of codes the other day but I cannot find it again.

Also I forgot a digit in my original post, code is 00000200

I have this one at the moment, it's just a recommendation to change supply tubes, but if you open up the top covers and see no evidence of ink linking, just tell the machine when it prompts you that you are going to continue to use the part. If yo uhave the service program you can reset that counter so it stops coming up. For techs, most suppliers that sell Epson often have people trained. The closest one that I can see quickly would be Grimco. I know they service Epsons, just don't know where the closest tech is with them.

I just ended up calling Epson for the service. I don't have any way to reset the counter unfortunately. The service is expensive and when the tech say's he'll "check to see if they need to be replaced" kinda has me thinking did I just pay $2800 for a tech to come up and look at my machine??

The way Epson service works is they overnight all the parts that they think they might need to do the repair so you have them on hand before the tech shows up. He will replace anything that needs replacing and the unused parts he returns to Epson.

You don't need to clear the error, just when it comes up just select will keep using parts. No need for the service unless you need have it. Cancel it, just let the error come up and select use parts, resets for like a week, then comes up again. Doesnt hurt the machine, I've had it on mine for almost a year now. Save yourself the money.

The error doesn't go away and doesn't give me any option to say use parts and continue. It's been up for the last week now calling for the service request.
