Error Epson RX 595- Close the Scanner Unit

Error message, Close the Scanner Unit-Scanner unit is closed. I see others have had the same problem.

I uninstalled hardware, re-installed, put something heavy on top, prayed and got frustrated with the thing, but still, it does not work. Help.

Thank you :-(

I just had the same problem. I figured that there must be a lever that gets pushed in when the lid closes and sure enough there's a square hole in the vent area (look in the area below the serial number) and in that is a small lever is that gets pushed down by the piece that's attached to the lid. For some reason, it's not pushing it down far enough or the lever has bent and it doesn't connect. My only solution (for now) was to jam a pencil into the lever to push it down all the way and sure enough, it worked. I'm sure there's a better, more permanent (and more attractive) way to repair this, but for now, it works and I need to print out 60 copies of an event program for tomorrow night! Good luck!

Epson XP960 error "the printer is exposed to strong light, close the scanner unit and press

I just had the same error message with my XP960 and followed all of the tips. Nothing worked, so I tried variations and the following worked for me.

The scanner unit lid was not fully pressing the closure indicator button, so I taped it down (after it worked while holding down with finger).

Printer will not print showing error 2200. How do l fix it?

This is a scanner error. You could try the following...
Power off and remove the power supply(Power Cord) from the back of the unit.
Open the scanner cover. Check the scanner glass for cracks and the scanner casing for cracks. Close the scanner lid.
Open the top cover
Using the carrier belt, move the cartridge carrier to the middle of the unit.
Remove both cartridges, close the top cover, reinsert the power supply, and power on.
IF THE ERROR MESSAGE DID NOT COME BACK....
Power off and remove the power supply from the back of the unit.
Open the top cover
Using the carrier belt, move the cartridge carrier to the middle of the unit.
INSERT THE COLOR CARTRIDGE ONLY,
Close the top cover, reinsert the power supply, and power on
IF THE ERROR MESSAGE RETURNS.. GET A DIFFERENT COLOR CARTRIDGE AND REPEAT THIS PROCESS....
IF THE ERROR MESSAGE IS GONE,
Power down as before, do all the same to get the carrier to the middle of the unit and RE-INSTALL THE BLACK CARTRIDGE.
Power back up as in previous steps...
NO ERROR? SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO..
ERROR?? TRY DIFFERENT BLACK
If after trying all of the above and the error message does not go away, you unit would need serviced (if it's under warranty, it's worth it; if not, you might want to replace it.)

Not workin'

I assume you've checked and done all the basic things like a power down and power up reset and checked to make sure all the ink cartdridges are properly installed and seated.

The user manual discusses your error message and suggests you do the following: Open the scanner unit to make sure any tape securing the ink cartridge holder has been removed; close the scanner unit/ press the ON button to turn off the CX6400, then turn it back on . If the error message still appears, contact your epson dealer or Epson tech support. If so,then you may want to get direct support and information from Epson at this website : http://er.epson.com:8001/start?TM=false&CMD=iSearch&CB=1886098358&LG=1&TP=NoviceCase&Q1-1-1886170412=1886170410&FI=1&firstQuestionID=Q1-1-1886170412&firstAnswerID=1886170410&category=allinone&model=cx64__&displaymodel=Epson+Stylus+CX6400&referralmodel=Stylus-CX6400&restart=yes
