  4. Check if the fan spins upon reboot; if it makes a metallic noise or fails to start, it requires replacement.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Dust is the number one enemy of fans. Schedule monthly cleaning of air filters and external vents. Maintain a minimum of 20 cm distance between the printer and the wall to ensure efficient air circulation.

Frequently asked questions

The C-9402 code indicates that one of the internal cooling fans is not rotating at the correct speed or is physically blocked.

It is not recommended. Lack of cooling can cause other internal electronic components to overheat and become permanently damaged.

Low-quality toner generates more volatile residue that clogs ventilation grilles and fans faster.

Clean the side and rear grilles with a vacuum or compressed air monthly and avoid placing the machine against a wall.
