Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The 400 error displays on the LCD panel when the printer times out during data packet transmission. If the data light is blinking abnormally or the printer shows as 'Offline' in your print queue, verify your physical network cables and ensure the IP settings are correct.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Turn off the printer and disconnect the network cable for 30 seconds to clear temporary buffer memory.
  2. Reboot your router to ensure the DHCP server is correctly assigning local addresses.
  3. Check IP settings via the control panel to ensure the IP is static and not duplicated.
  4. Perform a ping test from your computer to confirm communication is established with the printer.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Set a static IP address for the printer to prevent DHCP assignment issues. Keep your printer firmware updated to ensure network protocol compatibility. Periodically clean the RJ45 port with compressed air to prevent contact oxidation.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after performing a factory reset of network settings (NVRAM), the built-in network interface card (NIC) might be faulty. Contact an authorized service center for a diagnostic of the mainboard.
