  • 2Internal memory fragmentation.
  • 3Outdated firmware failing to optimize task queuing.
  • 4System driver mismatch causing infinite loops.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Error 170 occurs when the print buffer is overwhelmed. Check if the error appears only when processing heavy graphics or complex fonts.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Reboot: Turn off the printer and wait 60 seconds to clear memory cache.
  2. Clear queue: Cancel pending print jobs from the computer to free up RAM.
  3. Update firmware: Install the latest firmware to optimize memory management.
  4. Batch printing: Print large documents in smaller segments to ease memory load.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Periodically power cycle the printer to refresh the cache. Keeping firmware updated is the best strategy to improve internal memory allocation.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists despite simple print jobs, the physical RAM modules might be failing.
