Diagnóstico rápido

The error blocks the printer upon startup. If you see spilled toner inside the imaging unit area, this is a strong sign of internal gear stress.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Turn off the printer and remove the toner cartridges.
  2. Extract the imaging/developer unit and check that the gears spin manually without resistance.
  3. If you detect clumped toner, clean the area carefully with a toner vacuum (do not use compressed air).
  4. Reinstall units and reboot the system.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use exclusively original toner. Compatible toners often have grain sizes that clog the developer unit over time. Schedule technical cleanings every 100,000 pages.
