EPSON XP830 Problem

A service tech where I once worked had some rejuvenator spray he used on those rollers, like in copying machines. I'd help him out so he gave me a can of the stuff. I wish I had some more but ran out hence I don't remember what snip... Getting at the rollers is another matter. If they aren't easily accessible, you will need to perform some disassembly to get at them. My last employer had maybe 500 tape recorders and printers and copiers and scanners. Each of these suffered from the normal problems with rubber aging. Our techs' solution was "blanket cleaner", a product used in the maintenance of offset printing equipment. We got it by the expedient of going to the local newspaper printing plant and asking for a fill-up of our bottle. A half gallon or so would last our maintenance shop for over a year since a little goes a long way. The newspaper got the stuff by the 55-gallon drum IIRC. Smelled good enough although it was probably toxic. |

Hell, I can no longer find an address for Epson tech support hardware and/or software. Probably me. Couldn't you find the scanner feed problems page at Epsons support site? https://www.epson.co.uk/viewcon/corporatesite/products/mainunits/faq/8034/15974 The site says: Press down and hold the release lever on the left side of the feeder to slightly raise the feeder mechanism. Slowly pull the jammed paper out of the feeder from the top or the bottom. I don't think my XP830 ADF part matches this. I cannot 'raise the feeder mechanism' or a 'releae lever' , dumb that I am. I presume this is all in the manual. See https://files.support.epson.com/doci...851/index.html If the subject is there I sure do not see it. But maybe I am missing it? Oh w(h)ell. Al |

wrote: https://files.support.epson.com/doci...851/index.html Yes Thank you. This seems to show a dead match for my XP830's ADF. I had found this URL in my searching. As I 'play' with this thing, the cause of my jamming remains unknown. Friction? Maybe. I want to ask Epson about it, but I have not found a site, or other way, to do that yet. They may have gone underground in China? As I said, it is really a shame. I had nothing but good things to say about this printer 'til now. Of course, it does have cartridge changing anomalies, but that is another issue - I figured that out tho. Very tricky. The printer still prints . Still scans single pages from the inside glass. But that only scans one side and besides being impractically slow, leaves document pages separated which then requires separate merging software to put the result together. Noon\e said life was easy.

I don't even see what would pass for a scanner carriage in there. Nor do I - and I even have one - mine. I shud be able to watch the paper flow. I have examined the paper-flow, and the path ia not well guided. Some times the pushed paper edge gets crunched because the paper is jammed somewhere ahead in the path. My best bet is to toss it I guess. One thing - I will test the next one thoroughly in Staples or some-such before I buy another AIO. Thanx for your help - you have always been there with accurate guidance. I appreciate it.
