It happpens when the Catridge is unable to Communicate with the Printer............. In this case what i would request you to do is............... Unplug the Power Supply from the Printer When u remove the cover of the Printer behing the Catridge carrier which holds the catridges u will see a thin long transparent strip which looks like a Tap........... Take a Dry Paper Towel and Gently wipe that tape from right to the left it is very delicate so pls do it gently............ Now Take out both the Catridges from the Printer.............. Move the Catridge carrier which holds the catridge, From right to the Left and From Left to Right for abt 10 Times............... Now u can insert both the catridges in and Turn On the Machine.......... Good Luck

The 0502 error code indicates either a faulty cartridge is detected or the encoder strip (transparent strip) is dislodged from its position. Refer to this article in the Lexmark website on Error 0502 on the Lexmark X6150/X6170 Printer LCD Display to determine and resolve the problem. Thanks.

Lexmark X6170 hardware error 0502


Hi there

On the multi function machine seems to be a coating on the metal rod that the cartridges travel on. Just wipe this rod with a Kleenex and the problem seems to go away.
Somehow it presents a drag on the cartridges and causes an error.
Myself I would put a little bit of oil after on a cloth and wipe along the bar.

Please all I ask is call back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one, so I will keep on helping.
