  1. Cool down: Power off for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Clear vent: Ensure the rear of the machine has space.
  3. Reboot: Restart after cooling.
  4. Validate: Print a test page.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Maintain 6 inches of clearance behind the device. Avoid massive print runs without pause. Clear dust from vents quarterly.
