Printer troubleshooting is a tricky job. However, with right techniques, you can handle them like an expert.

Then, install the assembly on your printer and ensure the error code is not displaying anymore.

2. In case the error code persists, power cycle your printer and see if this technique works. To do this, turn off your printer and remove the power cord from its rear port and the electrical outlet. After a few seconds, reconnect the power cord to the appropriate ports and turn on your printer. Hopefully, this should work for you.
