Locate the U-shaped optical Home Position sensor located near the rear or side drive assembly of the fuser.

Flip the primary physical switch on the side of the machine. Unplug the main power cord from the wall outlet. Perform a Power Cycle : The sensor (often

Remove the fusing unit (refer to your model’s service manual for release levers). Examine:

To prevent the recurrence of this error, implement regular maintenance cycles that include blowing out the fuser cavity sensors and using low-residue, high-temperature lubricants strictly matching manufacturer specifications.

When any single step in this chain fails, the main board cannot verify that the mechanism is working. After three consecutive failures, the printer will throw the SC569-00 code.
