Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Error E60 is a critical thermal protection message. If you notice a high-pitched whine or heavy dust buildup on the rear ports, the cooling fan is failing to maintain internal temperature control.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Disconnect the printer from power.
  2. Clear all obstacles blocking the printer's sides or back.
  3. Use compressed air to blow out any dust from the vents.
  4. Allow the unit to cool for at least 20 minutes before powering it back on.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Keep at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance around the printer for optimal airflow. Vacuum the desk area regularly to keep lint out of the vents. Use genuine Brother toners to keep operating temperatures in the recommended range.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the fan remains motionless or the E60 error persists after cooling and cleaning, internal component replacement is required.
