Hi there,
On startup, our Epson P600 has a very slow initial carriage movement to the left, comes back fast to the right, the print head lowers, then there is a grinding sound before things stop and the error code 0x53 flashes.
1) I've cleaned the carriage rod with PEC-12 and a lint free PEC PAD, then gave it time to evaporate.
2) I applied WAHL clipper oil to the rod, manually moving the carriage back and forth several times.
3) I cleaned the Encoder Strip.
4) The back and side panels have been removed and found the gears to be in good shape and the motor on the left side (has a rubber cogged belt) to be fine.
When looking down into the vertical paper feed area, below the big wheel that grabs the paper, there is a small piece of white plastic. Pretty sure that's where the problem is...but not sure.
Does this sound familiar? Have you fixed this problem?
