  • 4Mechanical wear of internal assembly parts.

Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If you see this message, the machine has detected a thermal anomaly. Check if the rear section feels excessively hot or if there was a recent paper jam that could have damaged the paper path sensors.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Turn off the printer and disconnect from power for 15 minutes to allow the fuser to cool.
  2. Open the rear hatch and remove any paper scraps or toner buildup.
  3. Ensure rollers are free of foreign objects like label remnants.
  4. Reconnect and power on; if the code persists, the fuser assembly must be replaced.

Prevention and Maintenance

Clean the rollers every 5,000 pages. Ensure the environment is moisture-free and use only genuine Canon 057 toner to maintain proper fuser operating temperatures.

When to Call a Technician

If the error persists after checking for debris, the internal fuser assembly is likely damaged and requires a professional replacement.
