Model-Specific Notes: • PageWide XL: These printers have multiple, large printhead modules with active cooling. Inspect all cooling fans and vents for dust accumulation. Ensure the air filters are clean. Expert Insight: For PageWide XL models, maintaining optimal environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) is crucial. Use an infrared thermometer to measure the temperature of the printhead modules if accessible, comparing it to the expected operating range (typically below 50-60°C). Check the status of all cooling fans in the service diagnostics menu. A failing fan or a blocked heat sink can quickly lead to this error. If the error is intermittent, it might indicate a failing temperature sensor or a fan that's struggling under load.
