Canon imageCLASS MF275dw error E602: Memory Fault
The Canon imageCLASS MF275dw error E602 denotes a read/write failure within the system memory. This is usually triggered by corrupted firmware files or an underlying malfunction of the primary logic board. A hard power reset is necessary to clear volatile memory buffers.
Common causes
- 1Data corruption: Interrupted memory writing during operation.
- 2Logic Board failure: Defective storage chips on the board.
- 3Outdated firmware: Known bugs in older software versions.
- 4Heavy traffic: Queue overload causing memory buffer errors.
Solutions
Diagnóstico rápido
The E602 error often occurs after a power outage or unexpected disconnection while the printer was active. It is a system-level software alarm.Solución paso a paso
- Unplug for at least 20 minutes.

Frequently asked questions
The E602 code indicates a failure in communicating with the internal storage or memory, typically caused by file corruption or a hardware board fault.
No, it is not related to the toner (Canon 071). It is exclusively a software or mainboard-related issue.
Always power off the printer using the physical button. Never pull the plug while the printer is processing data.
If a factory reset doesn't work, the main board likely requires repair or a professional firmware re-flash.
