Logs & info to collect before contacting support

• Exact error text and when it appeared.
• Firmware version attempted and source (file name, checksum).
• How update was delivered (network, USB, service tool).
• Recent power/network interruptions.
• Any other fault codes or lights on the machine.

Q4: Is the machine obsolete? Should I just replace it?

The Canon iR2016 is a 2005-era device. While rugged, finding parts and parallel-port computers is difficult. If the DC controller board is dead, replacement cost ($100-$200 used) may exceed the value of the device. Consider upgrading to a modern Canon imageRUNNER (e.g., 1643i or 2204) if you cannot resolve the error. The machine initiates the Power-On Self-Test (POST)
