Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If you hear a loud buzzing noise before the 59.xx error appears, it is a clear sign the motor is trying to turn but something is physically obstructing it.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Turn off and unplug the device, then wait 5 minutes for logic controls to reset.
  2. Open the access cover and gently move the toner cartridge to ensure no physical blockage exists.
  3. Plug in and turn on the unit to let the machine run the initial movement test.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid toner spills during reloads, as fine particles can enter gear motors and harden. Keep the equipment internally clean every 15,000 prints.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the 59.xx error still appears after verifying no paper scraps are inside, the main motor or integrated tachometer sensor needs replacement.
