Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

This error 016-781 is source-specific. If only one computer triggers it, check the print driver. If multiple computers trigger it with the same file, the file itself is likely corrupted or incompatible with the printer language (PCL/PostScript).

Solución paso a paso

  1. Cancel all jobs: Clear the queue on the UI panel and reboot the printer.
  2. PDF conversion: Save the file as a standard PDF before sending it to the Xerox D95.
  3. Driver update: Remove the old driver from your computer and install the latest official driver from the Xerox website.
  4. Test print: Use a simple text-only file to confirm the printer's core functionality.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Stick to official drivers and avoid generic Windows drivers. If you frequently print high-resolution design files, ensure your print processor is optimized to handle complex jobs.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error 016-781 appears for every job, even basic text files, the RAM on the controller board might be failing, and you should contact a technician.
