Looked in printer for debris and considering on getting canned air to blow out the dust. Otherwise, checked the ink and all the recommended places for a paperjam. I'm hoping my last resort doesn't result in a mechanical problem. When turning it off/on (encouraging it to go thru its normal pre-use warm-up---meaning it sounds like parts are moving) it doesn't make any abnormal sound. Nor did it just before this problem. Like the printer a lot. BTW, it's been in use for about 19 months. Thanks.

"Clean Unable 50" is an error message that typically indicates there is a mechanical issue with the printer. Here are some steps you can try to fix the issue:
Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
Open the scanner cover by pulling up on the scanner lock release lever.
Check for any paper or debris that may be blocking the printer head or any other moving parts. Carefully remove any debris that you find.
Close the scanner cover and plug the printer back in.
Turn the printer back on and see if the error message has cleared. If not, continue to the next step.
Check the printer's ink cartridges. Make sure they are installed correctly and that they have ink in them. If necessary, replace any empty or faulty cartridges.
If the error message persists, it may indicate a mechanical problem with the printer. In this case, it may be best to contact Brother customer support or take the printer to a repair shop for further assistance.
It's also worth noting that the "Clean Unable" error messages may require a reset procedure, which varies depending on the printer model.
Unfortunately the E-01 error can indicate a hardware failure with the unit that requires repair. Either a paper sensor has failed or the printer board has gone bad, please try these hard reset steps:
Sharply unplug the printer from the wall outlet while it is still on, and disconnect it from the pc if connected there
Remove all paper from the paper feed and blow it out with compressed air a few times > With a flashlight look in the paper feed
Make sure there is no foreign object like a paper clip > Blow some compressed air inside the printer as well to remove excess dust > Very carefully double check on the far left and right sides of the printer (Where the printhead moves back and forth) to make sure no paper has jammed up in there as it often does.
Still have issues, feel free to contact Epson Printer Customer Support+1800-243-0019...
The messages unable to print, unable to clean, unable 36, error 46 and error 32 are all print head errors.
1. Remove all the ink cartridges from the machine 2. Clean the contacts on the cartridges as well as inside the machine itself with a small amount of warm water or alcohol on a cotton swab until no ink comes off on the swab.
Note: if any of the other cartridges are low, empty, leaking or bulging replace them
3. Then turn off the machine and unplug it for 70 seconds 4. Plug it back it and wait for the insert cartridges message 5. Insert the cartridges and check to see if the problem is still there. If it is it means the print head has failed and in order to fix this the print head inside the printer needs to be replaced. The print head is the part of the printer that puts ink from the cartridges onto the page
Unfortunately this can sometimes cost more to replace then the machine itself.
Usually this is caused by a foreign object or debris under the printhead path, or under where the printhead "parks."
Unplug the machine. Open the cover. Check the printhead path for little bits of paper, push pins, paperclips, staples etc. Note the location of the printhead.
If the printhead is at the far left, gently slide it towards the center (do not force it). Look carefully under where the printhead was stopped for debris. Use a flashlight if necessary.
This error means that there is something obstructing the printing process. Check inside your printer through the gears that you can see under the lid. There should be something obstructing the gears such as dirt or other small debris. Check VERY thoroughly with a flashlight.
Get "canned air" at any computer or office supply store and blow the inside of the printer out as much as possible. Invariably, the debris will loosen up and come out.
Try this clean the head of the printer, through the menus on the servicing the printer. If that doesn't work take a compress air can, and becareful of not get the liquid stuff into the printer, by holding it straight blow it into the printer. It could be as simple as paper dust or dust on the head itself.
If the error message is only "magenta/cyan low", it doesn't cause any error. The low message stays after replacing ink cartridges if they're replaced too early (before they're indicated as actually empty), it doesn't cause the printer to not work.
However, some other problem might be faulty, or there might be another error message. Try emptying printer queue and print from Ink Management -> Menu/set (twice) to check wether the problem is with communication from pc or if the printer actually is unable to print.
IssueAn 0xc18xxxxx or 0xc19xxxxx ink system error code displays on the front panel. The printer cannot copy, receive faxes, or print. Solution Press the On button to turn the printer off. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer. Remove all the ink cartridges. Wait two minutes. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer. Press the On button to turn the printer on. Install the ink cartridges when prompted. If the error code does not display, the issue is resolved. If the 0xc18xxxxx or 0xc19xxxxx ink system error code displays on the front panel, service the printer.
The waistinktank has to be replaced.
DO NOT only reset the code but change the waistinktank!
Otherwise ink will flow into the machine and will cause serious damages!!!!!!!!
