Are you experiencing any Lexmark printer error codes? You have come to the right place! Here I will be explaining the most common Lexmark error codes you’ll come across, along with all of the solutions that you can use for yourself so that you won’t have to get a technician to fix the issue.
A Lexmark printer error code is your printer’s way of telling you something is not working as it should. There are several different error codes for each of the issues.
I have tried to include as many error codes as I possibly can, but don’t fret if you don’t see your error code, as the issue could be very similar to an error that’s already included in this blog so keep your eye out.
I have created a table below to display all of the error codes and their causes. If you’d like to click onto the error code in the table and you will be taken down the page to view the solution.
Error: These error codes are usually shown when the fan isn’t moving correctly.
Solution: Follow these instructions; –
If you are still experiencing problems make sure to contact a technician here;- https://www.lexmark.com/en_gb/services/customer-support-services.html .
Error: In other words, you have got a paper jam, one of the most common issues among printers all around.
Solution: Follow the instructions below; –
Error: This is simply the wrong paper size and in order to fix the issue replace the paper with the correct paper size. Or you can try and change this through the Lexmark machine as follows,
Error: You have installed the incorrect cartridges or installed the cartridges in the incorrect slots. Although this can also be in relation to a defective system board or defective cables, in which case a Lexmark technician may be needed.
Solution: Follow the below instructions.
Error: This error is showing up due to the amount of memory space needed in order to complete the print job is higher than the memory of the printer.
(Remember that you can always add additional memory to your printer too).
Error: Newer modern Lexmark printers will alert you about their maintenance, printers will usually have a limit on the number of pages they can print before they need to have a maintenance kit replaced.
Solution: The error is basically letting you know that you need a new maintenance kit, you’ll need to purchase a new one and then install it into your printer. If you want an idea of how to install the maintenance kit here’s a good video to watch: https://printsaverepeat.com/blog/how-to-change-the-maintenance-kit-in-your-lexmark-ms810-related-printers/ .
Error: These error codes align with hardware or network issues; the first indicator should be if the error code is showing up whilst connected to a computer/PC. If the error shows when the printer isn’t connected to a PC or laptop, then there’s a good chance this is a hardware issue.
Solution: In order to determine whether you will need a service call follow these steps; –
Printer Hardware Issue
Printer Software Issue
Error: This basically means that your fuser isn’t up to its ideal temperature, if this is the first time the error has appeared, then the first thing to do is to turn the machine off and wait at least 10 seconds before you turn the machine back on.
Error: This will be due to poor communication between the printhead and the Lexmark machine, it can also be due to incorrect printheads or a poor power supply.
If the page has been printed the error should be resolved, if not then you’ll need to contact a Lexmark technician
Lexmark printers will all feature a set of error symbols on what you would call the operator panel now all operator panels will look slightly different; I’m going to explain to you what each of the symbols means to give you a better idea of what’s going on with your machine.
Remember that most error codes you may run into can be temporary, make sure you follow the steps I have laid out for you and hopefully you’ll be able to overcome the issue without having to pay for any Lexmark technical support
Lexmark MX911de gets a service engine error 133.00. Can power machine off and back on and error goes away. Can you tell me what this code means?
It’s something to do with a sensor in the printer. You can try to go to the ‘printer setup’ area in the menu and in ‘reset image stabilisation’ choose ‘restore factory toner density’. If that doesn’t work, take the toner and developers out and try to reinstall them.
Can you kindly assist me with my Lexmark CS510de Printer it says service error 128.28 fuser error, What can I do?
It sounds like your current fuser needs to be replaced. They are normally available and easily replaced yourself from the back of the printer.
How do I resolve error code 120.80 Lexmark MS823DN
Hi Peter, this is a hardware fault error code. Some part inside the printer is failing and you’ll need a technician to diagnose it.
Our Lexmark MC3326 has a frozen screen panel with the code CXLBL.230.217. Is there a way to find out what that means or unfreeze the panel?
That’s a firmware id, its sounds like a firmware update has caused an issue. If you search for another firmware update on your pc browser (search ‘your printer model firmware’ it should come up with a result) and install it, hopefully it will fix the issue.
My printer show E 4 and want print . How can I correct the problem?
Hi, as far as I can see there aren’t any Lexmark e4 error codes, what printer model do you have? There is a HP E4 error, which is paper jam. The paper would just need to be removed and check inside the printer for any torn off pieces that might be stuck.
Tengo el mensaje Codigo: [111.32A]
This error code indicates that the print head is not working. You may need to get a replacement print head to get the printer to work again.
Hi, I am getting an error code 10 on my Lexmark MD2236adwe. I cannot print anything from my computer, not sure if something else is going on. Can you help? Thank you
Hi, the Lexmark 10 error refers to a communication issue with the pc. There could be several reasons for this. 1. The cable is broken so you could try a new one. 2. The printer drivers need to be updated. Search google for the most recent printer driver and install it. 3. There’s a hardware issue and the printer needs to be fixed.
Hopefully one of the first 2 options will fix your issue.
Hi, my Lexmark laser printer C3326DW displays the error code 110.36A Service Printhead Error. I haven’t been able to find out what to do or even where the “Printhead” is located on this model. Thankful for any suggestions you can give!! 🙂
Hi there, the Lexmark C3326DW is a laser printer so as far as I’m aware, doesn’t have a print head. There are also no reference to a print head in the printer manual. That’s a very confusing error message. unfortunately, you will need a printer technician to look at that.
I am getting the message Engine Error 121.54b.
This is a fuser error. It’s likely the fuser needs replacing or there’s another problem with it.
Hi, my Lexmark laser printer MX912de displays the error code 820.00 scureadproc 3567. Thankful for any suggestions you can give
I believe this is a scanner lamp error code. You would need a technician to check the maintenance menu to diagnose the problem exactly.
My error code shows 129
This is a firmware error code. Try updating the firmware and changing the toners.
Getting 121.10A Paper got stuck initially but forcely removed it , tried to wipe out the print left on the fuser ( a plastic pipe like thing ) and assembled against . Have not noticed any paper particles getting stuck.
This is a fuser malfunction. The heating element may have burnt out. You may need to get a new fuser.
LEXMARK MC3326 PRINTER HAS A CODE 110.35A ?
This indicates a service print head error. Try to take toners and imaging units out and reinstall them. Switch off and unplug the printer for 10 minutes than plug in and power back on. If that doesn’t work, try updating the printer firmware.
