Common causes

  • 1Packet Loss: Network traffic is blocking data transmission.
  • 2Driver Error: The print driver is sending incorrect requests.
  • 3Static IP conflict: Another device shares the printer's IP.
  • 4Memory Timeout: The document is too complex for the buffer.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If you see this code, the printer has essentially 'given up' waiting for data from your computer. This error is rarely mechanical and is usually caused by network congestion or a bad driver configuration.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power Cycle: Turn off the device and the network router to clear the memory.
  2. Clear Queue: Open the print management console on your PC and cancel all stuck jobs.
  3. Static IP: Assign a static IP address to the printer via the settings menu.
  4. Driver Update: Re-install the print driver to ensure it's not corrupt.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use a reliable Ethernet connection rather than wireless. Regularly clearing the printer's job queue prevents memory overflows. Keep firmware up to date to ensure network compatibility.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error continues after assigning a fixed IP and testing from multiple computers, the printer's network card could be failing.
