Lexmark T - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

There is a Paper Menu option somewhere in the menus on the op-panel. You need to go to the Paper Type option and change the Paper Type for Tray 1 to plain paper. You can also hit the Select button when you get this message and you will print.

Verify your settings under the Paper Menu are correct as far as size and type. All trays with same size and type settings are automatically linked as per the User Guide.

On the left side, near the pichup roller, of the tray there should be a "flag" hanging down in the elips hole. See if it is hanging down or stuck in the "up"position.If so pul it down and the machine should work fine again.

well i was having the same problem and what i did was open up the side of the printer. the same side that the toner sensor is on. the sensor consists of three metal parts. i took a screwdriver and pressed them on the outside. i pressed them in and up to ensure that the sensors are connecting. and i have not had that problem since.

If job prints from the wrong tray or on the wrong paper or specialty media, this is an indication that the operator panel menu settings do not match the media loaded in the tray.

Make sure the Paper Size and Paper Type specified in the printer driver match the paper size and type in the tray.

You need to be sure you add the duplex unit and tray unit in the windows driver. The "device" tab will allow you to add the duplex and tray to the
printer.

2 things
1st make sure the paper guides are set correctly on the trays for legal make sure it's exactly on legal or it put the tray into universal mode. (To clarfiy the guides in the back which allow you to put legal in the tray.)
2nd Go into menu and then to paper menu and adjust/ confirm the settings for tray 1 and 2. Based on your question tray 1 is letter and tray 2 is legal, so make sure both of the tray size and type are set correct.

usually it means that a sensor in your fuser is bad. If you have a P.M. Kit replaced the fuser and clean the printer.

but before you do, make sure that you have cleared all jams, including in the fuser.

Its probably time for a Preventive Maintanence

If the lcd that you put in came from another printer instead of Lexmark, it will say that because the lcd, riser card on rip board and rip board all contain nvram that has to be matched. an lcd from Lexmark will no have any nvram data and the nvram will be copied from the other two sources upon install. The only way to get the lcd out of another machine is to get all of the above parts from the same printer at the same time.

1. Turn off the printer. 2. Press and hold (check) and .(right arrow). 3. Turn on the printer. 4. Release the buttons when Performing Self Test displays. The message CONFIG MENU displays on the top line of the operator panel. 5. Select Reset Maintenance Count from the Configuration menu. 6. The message Reset Maint Cnt=Reset displays momentarily. Press (check) to reset. When the reset operation is complete, the menu returns to the Printer Setup Reset Maintenance Count Screen. Scroll down to the Exit Configuration Menu and Press Select to Return to Ready status.

Um I don't know what the other guy is saying since your paper jam has nothing to do with where he is telling to look...

You can reset the Lexmark T650n to factory defaults in two ways:

A. Press Menu > go to Settings > General Settings > choose Factory Defaults

B. Go to Configuration mode by pressing and holding down Select button (check mark) and right arrow button while powering on the printer. It should display config mode. Choose Factory Defaults. Then power cycle the printer.

Hope this helps. If you need more assistance, leave a comment and I'll get back to it. Thanks.

No response from the original poster as of 6/6/09. Normally, a "Flushing Buffer" message is pointing at a Postscript problem. A quick easy test would be to set the printer for PCL and retry the job. If it works, then you really need to look at the PS print file to find the error. Don

its not reading there is any paper in the slot so will not load from this draw. the is a switch that when paper is installed it lifts it to tell printer paper loaded. like any switch they can fail.

open paper tray and look at the paper stopper ( the one on the end that you can adjust for the paper lenght)
is it set for letter?
now take a look on the SIDE of the tray there are three prongs, when you adjust the paper lenght, are they moving as you adjust the paper? for letter size the bottom two should be out and the top one should be in.

900 rip is a inrecoverable software error POR printer take data cable out and POR should clear if not then system bord needs replacing more likley corupt dat sent to printer

I can provideyou with the procedures to default the printer. That may help.
1. start with the printer turned off.
2. Press and holde the GO, Select and the Right Menu Arrow buttons while turning the printer on.
3. Hold the button in until the display show "RestoringFactory Defaults" then let go.
4. The printer should come back to a Ready state.

Try to unplug the interface cable from the computer and power up the machine. It is likely the RIP card aka the controller card.
There are two types of controllers for this printer, non-network and network. Here are links to where you can purchase them:
