Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If the printer does not make the typical heating-up noise upon power up and displays 50.x, a fuser error is almost certain.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Turn off the printer.
  2. Disconnect power cord for 10 minutes.
  3. Connect directly to a wall outlet (avoid UPS or power strips).
  4. Power on the printer again.

Prevention and Maintenance

Use voltage stabilizers. Do not print on non-laser labels, as glue melts onto rollers.

When to call a technician

If still failing after plugging into the wall, the fuser is burnt or the thermal sensor failed.
