  • 4Firmware mismatch between workstation and printer.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The error 031-523 is essentially a network handshaking failure. When the printer attempts to open a print socket and the workstation or server responds incorrectly or times out, the controller triggers this alarm code.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Disconnect all network cables and power off the printer for 1 minute.
  2. Ensure the Xerox B610 specific driver is installed, not a generic Windows print driver.
  3. Assign a static IP address through the device control panel.
  4. Reboot your workstation and test a simple text document print.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Always update to the latest network controller firmware released by Xerox. Use high-quality category 6 or higher Ethernet cables to prevent intermittent packet loss that triggers these errors.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If you have ruled out driver issues and network conflicts, the onboard NIC module may have an electrical fault and will need inspection by a service technician.
