Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

C3200 is a startup error. If you don't hear a high-pitched motor spin on start, the polygon motor is stalled or failed.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off for 1 minute.
  2. Ensure no dust blocks the optical path.
  3. Power on and let the auto-diagnostic test the motor speed.
  4. If the code reappears, professional repair is needed.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Keep office environment dust-free. Dust inside the optical module destroys laser calibration.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If C3200 persists, the laser unit motor is likely dead. This requires specialist repair.
