Common causes

  • 1Thermal sensor malfunction due to long-term heat exposure.
  • 2Fuser unit paper path obstruction preventing correct heat distribution.
  • 3Electrical surges damaging the fuser temperature control board.
  • 4End-of-life cycle of the fuser heating lamp.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The 390 error code on the B930dn indicates the fuser is unable to maintain proper heat. If you hear loud mechanical clicking before the screen displays the error, check the rear output area for debris or jammed paper immediately.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power cycle: Completely power down the device and unplug it from the wall outlet for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Check fuser: Carefully open the back panel to check for paper residue that might be impeding the heating element.
  3. Restart: Plug the unit back in and turn it on to trigger the automatic system recovery.

Prevención y mantenimiento

High-quality original toner is essential, as inferior third-party toners can melt at incorrect temperatures and coat the fuser, triggering errors. Clean the paper feed rollers regularly and ensure the printer is placed in a well-ventilated area.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error code remains after a full power cycle and visual inspection, the fuser unit has likely reached the end of its life cycle and needs to be replaced by a certified technician.
