Solutions

If the error persists after a reboot, the fuser is not reaching the operating temperature needed to set the toner.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Turn off the device and wait at least 15 minutes for it to cool down.
  2. Access the front door and verify that the fuser module is seated correctly.
  3. Ensure the rear ventilation is not blocked.
  4. Turn on the unit and observe if the message clears.
