Fixing Xerox WorkCentre 3345DNI error 016-799
The Xerox WorkCentre 3345DNI error 016-799 is a network communication error, typically caused by a timeout or IP configuration mismatch. It prevents the printer from processing remote jobs. Troubleshooting is focused on network settings rather than hardware.
Common causes
- 1IP address conflict on the local area network.
- 2Physical damage or low-quality Ethernet cable.
- 3Incorrect gateway or router configuration.
- 4Internal network card communication timeout.
Solutions
Diagnóstico rápido
You can diagnose this error by checking if the printer is accessible via a web browser using its current IP. If it fails, the issue is indeed a connectivity block between the printer and the router.Solución paso a paso
- Check network cabling: Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected at both ends to avoid signal loss.
- Configure static IP: Verify the printer network settings and set a static IP address to avoid DHCP conflicts.
- Reset network interface: Power cycle the printer and the connected router to refresh the network handshake.
Prevención y mantenimiento
Use static IPs for all office equipment to prevent network conflicts. If you are on a busy wireless network, consider using a wired Ethernet connection to ensure stability. Update your firmware regularly to avoid communication protocol bugs.Cuándo llamar a un técnico
If the printer shows this error across different cables and different routers, the main network adapter board is likely failing and needs professional diagnostic.Ficha técnica del equipo

Frequently asked questions
This error points to a communication timeout on the network, usually due to IP address conflicts or signal drops.
It is not a physical hardware failure, but it prevents the printer from receiving print jobs over the local network.
No, this is a network issue. The toner level (e.g., Xerox 106R03620) is irrelevant to this connectivity alert.
Assign a dedicated static IP address for your printer so it remains consistently accessible on your local network.
