Let\u2019s Start With Cleaning the Printer<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. First of all, you need to cancel all the print jobs from the queue on your PC.<\/li>\n
  2. After canceling the printing jobs, open the top cover of your Epson printer machine.<\/li>\n
  3. Have a proper look inside your printer and clear any dirt, debris, pieces of paper, paper pin, staple pins, or anything else.<\/li>\n
  4. Once you are done cleaning the dirt, press the Start button on your Printer and try printing something.<\/li>\n
  5. If your printer continues to show Epson error code 0x9A<\/strong>, then move forward with the next steps and follow them until your issue is fixed.<\/li>\n
  6. Press the Power button to switch it off and then open the scanner unit.<\/li>\n
  7. Remove any jammed paper or torn pieces of paper if stuck.<\/li>\n
  8. Now close the scanner unit and turn on the printer from the power button.<\/li>\n

  10. To check if your issue is fixed or not, print a test page. If the printer still displays Epson Error Code 0x9A<\/strong>, then continue with the next method.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Check Whether the Carriage Is Moving or Not<\/h3>\n

    You need to open the top cover of your Epson Printer and check the carriage. If it is moving automatically then just close the lid and follow the next method. However, if it is not moving, you need to try moving it manually first. If that doesn\u2019t work, remove the dirt from the compartment of the printer by blowing some compressed air inside it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    After cleaning the dirt from the carriage, close the lid and turn on the printer. Try printing a test page and check if the <\/span>Epson Error Code 0x9A<\/span><\/b> still occurs?<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Inspect and Clean the Encoder Strip<\/h3>\n

    One of the causes of Epson Error Code 0x9A <\/strong>is dirty encoder strips. It is a plastic strip in the Printer carriage that helps read its speed and position. Sometimes, when it is dirty, you can face issues with your Epson printer that can be fixed simply by cleaning the encoder strip.<\/p>\n

    Below we have mentioned how you can clean your Epson Printer\u2019s encoder strip without any help.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. First of all, you need to switch off your printer and then open its top lid.<\/li>\n
    2. Take some ink cleaning solution and soak a cotton cloth into it.<\/li>\n
    3. Move the encoder strip to the left and clean it with the cotton cloth gently.<\/li>\n
    4. Wipe all the leftover ink from the strip but leave the sections covered by the printhead.<\/li>\n
    5. Be careful when you are cleaning the encoder strip so that the solution does not get into the Printer. If you drop some solution into the printer, wipe it right away with a dry cloth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      One more thing, don\u2019t pull or rub the encoder strip harshly as it can cause permanent damage to your printer.<\/p>\n

      Reset Your Epson Printer Machine<\/h3>\n

      If you can\u2019t fix the Epson Printer Error Code 0x9A after trying all the above methods, then this is something you can try at last. Resetting the printer resolved many of the complicated printer errors and issues. However, if you still can\u2019t use your printer without any error, you must get to Epson Support <\/strong>before it’s too late.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. First, you need to turn off your printer and unplug it from the main power source.<\/li>\n
      2. Leave your Printer turned off for at least five minutes.<\/li>\n

      4. Once done, start your printer again by plugging it into the power source and then pressing the power button.<\/li>\n
      5. When your printer will turn on, you will see a message \u201c FW Update Mode\u201d on your screen.<\/li>\n
