Epson Stylus NX230 Scanner Motor Replacement

Einleitung

The scanner motor powers the physical movement of the scanning mechanism. This mechanism moves across an entire document, copying its contents, so that the printer can scan, fax, and/or print a copy of the original document. This motor may stop working due to a broken fuse or faulty connection and ultimately may need to be replaced.
