Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The printer stops immediately after powering on or trying to start a print cycle. If you hear a high-pitched whistling or erratic mechanical noise before the message, the motor is failing.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power cycle: Turn off the device and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Visual inspection: Check for dust accumulation that might obstruct the rotating mirror.
  3. Start test: Power the unit back on; if the error persists, the motor has a mechanical or electrical failure.
  4. Reset: There are no user commands for this error; if it persists, new hardware is needed.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid operating the unit in environments with excessive dust or airborne particles. Periodically clean ventilation grilles. Do not place the printer near sources of vibration or excessive heat.

Frequently asked questions

This error points to a failure in the scanner motor, which must maintain a constant rotation speed for proper printing.

It usually requires replacing the laser scanner unit if the motor is seized or internally damaged.

Excess dust can interfere with motor rotation, so an internal cleaning might help in some minor cases.

Keep the device in a dust-free environment to extend the life of internal optical components.
