If the machine displays the E060 code upon startup or during heavy printing, the internal cooling fan is likely stalled. Ensure the printer has at least 10cm of space from surrounding walls.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Power off the printer and unplug it.
  2. Clean air vents using compressed air to clear blockages.
  3. Cool down for 15 minutes to reset thermal sensors.
  4. Power on by connecting directly to a wall outlet.

Prevention and Maintenance

Clean the external vents monthly with a dry cloth. Avoid enclosed spaces for printer placement. Genuine TN-315 toners ensure better thermal efficiency for the unit.

When to call a technician

If the error persists after a reset or if an audible grinding noise is heard, the fan motor may be permanently damaged.
