Common causes

  • 1Fuser temperature sensor failure.
  • 2Short-circuited power board triac.
  • 3Obstructed ventilation pathways.
  • 4Critical fuser power relay failure.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

SC549 is a thermal runaway error, meaning the fuser unit is heating uncontrollably.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Emergency shut-down: Unplug the machine from the power source at once.
  2. Airflow inspection: Clear all objects from the printer's rear to allow proper ventilation.
  3. Technician required: SC549 must be reset via SP 5810; do not attempt self-clearing.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Clean internal air filters regularly and ensure the printer isn't in an enclosed, hot area.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico
