Epson XP-6105 error 0x63: Paper Sensor Fault
The Epson Expression Premium XP-6105 error 0x63 is an alert indicating that the optical paper end or tray presence sensor has failed or is blocked. The internal scanner responsible for detecting if paper is loaded in the tray doesn't receive the correct reflection signal, causing the printer to lock to prevent printing blank pages. Often, this happens due to dust accumulation on the sensor.
Common causes
- 1Optical paper sensor obstruction by dust.
- 2Mechanical lever stuck with residue.
- 3Failure of the emitter diode in the end-of-paper sensor.
- 4Tray improperly inserted or misaligned.
Solutions
