machine will pause its current print
job and go into cooling down mode.
During the cooling down mode, you

Make sure that you can hear the fan in the
machine spinning and that the exhaust outlet
isn't blocked by something.
If the fan is spinning, remove any obstacles that
surround the exhaust outlet, and then leave the
machine turned on but do not use it for several
minutes.
If the fan is not spinning follow the suggestions
below.
Turn off the machine's power switch and then
turn it on again. If the error message continues
leave the machine for several minutes and then
try it again. (The machine can be turned off for
up to 4 days without losing faxes stored in the
memory.)
