EPSON STYLUS C43SX Ink Jet printer: When I turn th printer on , the head starts moveing and moving to right untill it reaches the right edge of the slider. at that point red light turns on and the head tries to move right and right .Since there is no space to move further right it creats a cranking sound .At last the printer turns off after 2 to 3 inutes.
Please guide me

when i turn on my printer, green and red lights are on (not blinking). when i press the paper load button, the printer head moves to the left, the state when you remove and change the ink cartridges. when i press the paper load button again, the head return to the right and as if it performs the cleaning process. i can't print. my black ink cartridge still has ink and the colored one had just been refilled. thanks for your help.

If your PC is connecting to it normally (no connection errors), it sounds like you printer is having the service reset hardware problem. Try installing the EPSON reset software and check all counters and error codes.

When your Epson printer's print head is clogged , then the red light for your ink and paper out is blinking. In this movement, the printer print head is blocked due to foreign objects or jammed paper.

I had the flashing lights (Epson R1800) too. Both the ink
and paper flashed rapidly at the same time.
After intense searching on the net, I tried just about
everything. SSC service utility did
Nothing. Turning printer off and on also didn’t help.
Turning printer off then pressing the paper and ink buttons,
then turning power on, then waiting for both lights to flash, releasing them
and pressing the ink button for 10 seconds also didn’t help.
After days of this I got frustrated, packed the POS back
into the box and put it up for sale
On Craigslist. No takers… I was about to put it out to the
curb ($540 printer sat in the box for almost a year) but decided to do one last google and found
someone talking about the print head moving along the rail.
Suggestion was to turn printer off and see if print head
traveled freely back and forth. Ok I thought, Pulled the printer back out of
the box and set it up again. Reinstalled software and turned it on. Red lights
flashing again! Ok, press the ink button to move head to home, then turn
printer off. Then I tried to move head along rail. It moved freely a couple of
inches to the left then stopped like something was blocking it.
Took my flashlight out and could not see anything in the way
so pushed down on the cartridge cover and heard a “click”….. Duh! The freakin’
cover was not closed! Now the head would move left and right all the way so I
turned the printer on and to my amazement NO more flashing red lights! I was
both thrilled and depressed (at my stupidity) for not seeing this earlier.
I will post this everywhere I can to remind people that the cartridge
cover is the FIRST thing you should check upon seeing both red lights flashing
rapidly!!!!!
t is possible that the ink cartridges in your printer (especially
applicable if you are using refilled or compatible carts) can not be
read by the printer. Some compatible cartridges have a failure rate as
high as 30% and so it is very possible that the machine either does not
see the cartridges or can not read them.
Replace the cartridges
with genuine Epson ones and try again. The genuine ink will also help
to clear any hardening cheap ink in the print head.
The error light on the C43sx is quite "non-descriptive". It simply means there is an error - that error depends upon the flashing/timing of the light.
I suggest you get hold of the Epson service software to get a better idea of the problem. It is quite possible the machine has simply hit the ink overflow protection counter limit, which is easy to fix with the above software. It is also possible the machine has a fatal error in which case the trash bin beckons.
Visit this person for a source of the software and more help.

Once it jams on the left turn off the machine. usually my lights are all red at that point, one is blinking the other two are solid red. open the cover. shine a flashlight in there, you will see a clear or light grey plastic ribbon that runs from the left to the right. it is the top most thing. Very carefully, clean it with a paper towel and a little water. or a kleenex. it should be almost clear.
after done, move the cartridge head to the right without turning on the printer. once again, clean the clear plastic ribbon where the cartridge head was located. finally turn on the printer, when it stops initializing, click the paper feed button, if you were successful, you won't see it jam into the left side.
if not, try repeating again. I think the optical head could also have some junk on it, and will deposit it back on the clear grey plastic strip.
the clear strip passes through the cartridge head. I'm told it is called an encoder strip and the optical head reads the strip to know it's position.
when that strip is dirty or covered with some ink spots, the print/cartridge head, can't read it and slams into the side the the printer.
this happened to my c80 at least 3 times now in seven years.
I found the cause of the problem thanks.
