Press P-interrupt-C-interrupt and enter test command 14 and Execute to clear your error. Let your machine reboot. If it comes back you have a problem with your fuser. Most likely it's dirt or toner caked on your tempature sensors and they need to be scraped off.

That error code indicates that the fuser unit isn't heating up. Try turning the power off, wait 30 seconds, turn the power on. If the error reappers the fuser unit should be checked by a technician to correct the problem.

H4 error pertains to lamp errors.

that would either be the copy lamp or the heater lamp.

check both lamps.

with heater lamps,it's usually caused by either a broken heater lamp or a dirty thermostat on the heater roller assembly.

You're getting a heat roller low temp detection on the fuser in your copier. The fuser is the device that provides heat and pressure to the toner to bond/fuse it to the paper (it's that black, rectangular box in the upper part of the body when you open the left-hand side of the door).

Chances are a peice of paper is jammed up inside and blocking the sensor (probably a small peice that tore from a page someone tried to pull from the fuser). That or the temp sensor is defective.
