Paper feed blinking z816 - Lexmark Z816 InkJet Printer

? It SHOULD only take one piece of paper at a time...

use a dull knife and ruff-up the rubber rollers a bit.

Rollers calcify with age, this means they get hard and slick....neither of which is good for feeding paper through a printer !!!!

The paper is loaded on the back of the printer.

Q-tip swabs and high octane 90% or better rubbing alcohol...lower grade works too but let it dry.

Unplug the power cord from the printer (top left side). Hold the paper feed button while plugging the cord back in.

Hi Mike, the paper feed switch doesn't feed paper... it switches the paper source from the top feeder to the bottom tray. Do you have paper in both? How many times does the orange light flash in between the greens? That tells the error.

Normally this is caused by the cartridges not being installed correctly. Please go to the Lexmark site www.lexmark.com. Select Technical support, then search using the Z816 model printer. A new search bar will appear. Place the following number ENUS32244 into the box and hit <Enter>. Don

The most likely culprit is that the rollers that pull the paper are dirty. Use the steps below to clean the rollers.

If paper does not feed correctly, perform the following to clean the paper feed rollers:
1) Confirm that the printer is powered on.
2) Remove any paper from the printer.
3) Press and hold the <Resume/Cancel> button.
4) Release the <Resume/Cancel> button after the Power lamp blinks three times.

Note: The Power lamp will blink and the paper feed roller starts cleaning itself by revolving.
5) When the Power lamp lights in green, repeat Steps 3 and 4 up to two additional times. (Please wait approx. 30 seconds for paper feed roller cleaning to complete.)
6) To confirm whether cleaning has been performed properly, set a blank sheet of plain paper (8 1/2 x 11 Letter size) in the sheet feeder or cassette.
7) Press and hold the <Resume/Cancel> button and release it when the Power lamp blinks three times. (The paper set in the printer is picked up and fed.)
8) Repeat the process as necessary
