Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

This error is specifically linked to the printer's thermal unit. If you see the Xerox B225 error 010-320, the system has detected that the temperature reading is out of range, often caused by a faulty thermistor or a heating element failure.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power Cycle: Turn off the printer and disconnect from power for at least 30 minutes to allow the fuser to cool down.
  2. Surge Protection: Ensure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet or a high-quality surge protector, not a power strip.
  3. Retry: Power on the device. If the error code recurs immediately, the hardware has a persistent fault.
  4. Service: Schedule a replacement of the fuser unit with an authorized technician.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid frequent power cycles as they can strain the fuser's heating components. Ensure that your office power environment is stable to prevent heating element damage from voltage fluctuations.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the reset does not work, the fuser unit requires mechanical replacement, which should only be performed by a professional technician.
