  2. Wait 15 minutes to ensure the fuser assembly has fully cooled down.
  3. Plug the power cable directly into a dedicated wall socket.
  4. Switch the printer on and observe if the ready light appears.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use genuine Canon 051 cartridges to prevent toner buildup on the rollers. Perform regular maintenance and ensure the printer is not placed near ventilation ducts or extreme heat sources.
