Printer is turned on, starts normally then grinding noise appears and then humming. Scanner error message on printer screen appears. Am able to print but not scan. Have turned it off and on with same result
I had exactly the same problem. In my case I was able to deal with it by twisting the whole upper place of the printer (the half side of the printer that you open when changing cartridges), like when you remove the ice cubes from a tray.. I have to do this only during the starting up. After the initial scanner test, it works normally till the printer does the automatic scanner test again, or if I turn it on/off again.
I am trying to get a permanent solution by installing a piece or rubber on one side of the printer, between both upper and lower sides, so it will create the twisting effect.
By the way, I would agree with the previous comment from doc_delphi. The printer is not too expensive and I would replace by a new one. Unfortunately I live in a jungle and its not easy to bring stuff up here. We have to be creative and develop patience.
I hope this post helps others. Good Luck;

Had the same problem, too. The grinding noise came from the gear of the loading mechanism, located (if looked on printer from behind) on the right side next to paper tray.
I had a problem with the paper loading, too.
That problem was due to a broken wire for the magnetic release of the loading mechanism, located on the right side, too.
My experience with this epson is, that most problems with it come from broken wires, e.g. the problems with the ADF I had, the problem with the magnetic release I had.....
If I hadn´t invested so much time and money in this printer, I´d rather scrap it immediately.

Hi, below the belt that pulls the head from left to right is a 'bail bar' which the head moves along. Put a little light oiul on the bar, check for any bits of paper jammed in the mechanism which may be obstrucring the print head.
Also check that the bushes which support the print head haven't been dislodged. You can tell because there will be a strange looking doughnut type thing sitting and looking lost on the bail bar. you can usually just push this back into place on the side of the print head.
