5. Expert reminder
According to the latest research by IT Home, about 60% of printer failures are caused by improper operation or inferior consumables. Recommended users:
• Carefully read the warning prompts in the manual
• Do not forcefully remove paper jams (sensors are easily damaged)
• When not in use for a long time, the power should be cut off and stored in sealed
If all the above methods are invalid, it may be a hardware failure such as the motherboard. It is recommended to contact the official after-sales service. Most brands provide a 1-3-year warranty service, and self-disassembly may cause the warranty to expire.
