The C-2559 code means the motor is fighting against resistance. If the gears are clean and the cartridge is seated well, the motor is likely aging out.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Turn off the machine completely.
  2. Remove toner cartridge and check for stiffness when turning the gear by hand.
  3. Clean the toner intake area using a lint-free dry cloth.
  4. Observe motor operation briefly during startup to ensure no grinding sounds.
  5. Restart the system to see if the error clears.

Be gentle when loading new toner cartridges. Misalignment is a hidden killer for the toner motor drive gears over time.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico
