Canon E602 — Hard disk / storage error

Applies to: imageRUNNER ADVANCE series with internal storage

What this error means

The machine's internal storage (HDD or SSD) failed a read/write check. Job storage, mailboxes, and sometimes booting are affected.

Symptoms

  • Boot loops or very slow startup
  • Stored jobs and address book features failing

Try this first (safe DIY steps)

  1. Power cycle once; if the machine offers a storage check/repair on boot, allow it to run

Safety: power off before any physical intervention. Never bypass covers or interlocks — fuser areas run hot enough to burn.

When to call a technician

If it persists — drive replacement plus firmware reload; a tech can often recover settings first.
