  2. Open the front door of the machine.
  3. Hold down the 'GO' button until all front LEDs light up.
  4. Release the button and close the door; the error should be cleared.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Slide the green tab on the drum unit back and forth to clean the corona wire. Avoid sunlight exposure to the drum's sensitive surface. Always use authentic toners to prevent excess debris from affecting the drum.
