Error 59.c0 specifically targets the **Intermediate Transfer Belt (ITB) motor or its synchronization**, indicating a problem within the toner transfer mechanism. In contrast: **Error 49.xxxx** typically signifies a **firmware error, a corrupt print job, or a communication issue**, often pointing to a software/network problem rather than a specific mechanical failure in the printing path. **Error 50.xx** pertains directly to the **fuser assembly**, which is responsible for melting and pressing the toner onto the paper. Error 50.xx means the fuser is failing to heat up, is defective, or has reached the end of its life. So, 59.c0 is about the ITB, 50.xx is about the fuser, and 49.xxxx is generally about the main board/firmware/job processing.
