Step 1: Turn off the printer for 30 seconds or longer to clear its memory
Do not power the printer off and on too quickly. Doing so can cause a power issue and
create this type of issue.

Step 2: While the MFP is off, clear any pending print jobs from the computer or the network queue.
This will prevent any corrupted print jobs from being re-sent to the MFP when it is powered
back on.

Step 3: Did the error message return?

Yes: If the 900.80 error returns when the printer is powered up or when you try to print again,
continue with Step 4 or go to Contacting Lexmark.
No: If the 900.80 error does not appear on the printer screen, use the printer operator panel to
print a menu settings page. If the error does not return, continue using the printer.

Step 4: Power the MFP off and disconnect all communication cables (i.e., the parallel, Ethernet,
and USB cables). The only cable that should be connected to the printer at this time is the
power cord. There might be a problem with either the printer, a communication cable, or the
print job itself. If possible, connect the printer's power cord directly into a grounded wall
outlet.

Step 5: Power on the MFP again.
Did the error message return?

Yes: A service call may be required. Please contact Lexmark Technical Support or a

local authorized service center in your area for additional assistance.

Does the printer have an IP already assigned to it?

Print out a network settings page:

Printing a network setup page
If the printer is attached to a network, print a network setup page to verify the network connection. This page also
provides important information that aids network printing configuration.
1 Make sure the printer is on and Ready appears.
2 From the control panel, press .
3 Press until Reports appears, and then press .
4 Press until Network Setup Page appears, and then press .
After the network setup page prints, Ready appears.
Note: If an optional internal print server is installed, Print Network <x> Setup Page appears.
5 Check the first section on the network setup page, and confirm that Status is “Connected.”
If Status is “Not Connected,” the LAN drop may not be active, or the network cable may be malfunctioning.

If that is an IP not on your network, then you need to change that IP to an unassigned IP that is on your network.

You can do that by typing in the IP of the printer into a web browser (example: Http://ipaddress)
Then you should be able to modify the IP address from here.

Once the printer is on your network, make sure you have drivers for it installed and then just map any worksttaion to it.
