Common causes

  • 1IP Conflict: Two devices sharing the same address on your local network.
  • 2Queue Overflow: Too many print jobs stuck in the buffer.
  • 3Damaged Ethernet port: Physical wear on the RJ45 socket.
  • 4Firmware Mismatch: Outdated network protocol drivers.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The 016-302 error is characterized by an sudden halt in print job processing. Users often see this message when the network handshake process is interrupted, making it a classic communication configuration issue.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power cycle the unit by unplugging the power and network cables for 60 seconds.
  2. Check the network port status in the printer configuration menu.
  3. Set a static IP address to prevent DHCP lease renewal conflicts.
  4. Clear the print queue on all connected workstations to eliminate corrupted files.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Keep your device firmware current. Using original toner ensures that sensors and internal software work harmoniously, reducing indirect communication errors.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after testing with a different network cable and manual IP, the internal NIC might be malfunctioning.
