Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If the machine has been printing for a long time, the error is likely due to heat saturation. Let it cool naturally.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Ventilate: Turn off the power and open all printer covers to dissipate heat.
  2. Cooling period: Let the printer rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Inspect: Check rear vents for dust blockages.
  4. Test: Power back on to see if the thermal sensor normalized.

Maintenance and Prevention

Ensure the printer is in a well-ventilated space. Do not lean papers against the side vents.

When to Call a Technician

If the error occurs while the printer is cool to the touch, the thermal sensor is likely reporting false data.
