Solutions

Diagnostic quick check

This error indicates the motor is struggling to rotate. Check for grinding noises or physical resistance when the copier initializes to confirm this diagnosis.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Power cycle: Turn off the main switch and wait for 30 seconds before rebooting to clear temporary errors.
  2. Check developing unit: Remove the developing unit and manually ensure that all gears rotate freely.
  3. Service mode reset: Access the service menu to reset the developer motor counter if the unit was replaced.

Prevention and maintenance

Keep the internal path clean and use only genuine OEM parts to reduce stress on the driving motors. Professional maintenance is advised at high usage intervals.

When to call a technician

If physical cleaning does not solve the problem, the motor or its power driver board likely requires professional replacement.
