The Lexmark MX310dn error 32.02 notifies of a paper jam in the fuser section, the component responsible for fixing toner to paper using heat. This error occurs when a piece of paper stops in its exit path. It is vital to remove the paper following the indicated thermal precautions.
Common causes
- 1Low-grammage paper curling and getting trapped in the fuser.
- 2Toner residue buildup on the fuser exit rollers.
- 3Use of sheets with incompatible stickers or adhesives.
- 4Physical wear of transport rollers losing traction.
Solutions
Quick Diagnosis
The 32.02 error is confirmed by opening the rear cover: if you notice paper is wrinkled or trapped between the fuser's gray/black rollers, the diagnosis is confirmed. Avoid forcing the paper if it seems stuck.Step-by-Step Solution
- Turn Off and Cool Down: Turn off the device and wait 15 minutes, as the fuser reaches very high temperatures.
- Open Rear Door: Open the rear door and gently remove any visible paper scraps.
- Roller Inspection: Check that there are no torn paper pieces left in the exit rollers.
