  • 2Fuser lamp failure.
  • 3Electrical interference.
  • 4Accumulated paper debris on heat rollers.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the machine displays C4000 during initialization, the temperature sensor (thermistor) is likely reading a fault. Check the back of the machine for any signs of heat buildup.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Switch the device off and unplug the power cable.
  2. Allow the machine to cool for 15 minutes.
  3. Check for any jammed paper in the rear output tray.
  4. Power on and monitor the initialization noise.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Ensure good ventilation around the printer. Avoid using low-quality recycled paper which releases high levels of dust that coat the sensor.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the machine continues to cycle the C4000 error, the fuser lamp or thermistor has failed and requires component replacement by a certified technician.
