C4000 is an internal motor warning. If you hear a grinding noise, it's mechanical. If the printer is silent, it's likely a motor or board circuit fault.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Check toner: Remove the cartridge and check if the drive mechanism is locked.
  2. Cooling cycle: Power off and let the unit cool for 15 minutes.
  3. Test run: Power on and listen for motor engagement sounds.
  4. Clean interior: Vacuum out any excess toner dust around the gear area.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Regularly clean the interior dust and use only high-quality TK-1125 supplies to keep the machine running smooth.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If removing the toner and performing a power cycle doesn't resolve the C4000, the main motor drive is likely damaged.
