Top 10 Lexmark X2600 InkJet Printer Questions & Answers

I have put in new cartridge. Printer coming up say Alignment, 1 take of tape - DONE 2 put in paper - DONE 3 press OK - DONE- then the same message coming up time and time again TRIED LOTS OF TIME WASTING PAPER AND INK - help please

Hi there,

Here's how to clear printer paper jam.

1. Pull the paper out if it is visible. If not, then open the top of the printer so that the jammed piece of paper is visible.
2. Grasp the paper and pull gently but firmly. If the paper continues to jam in the printer, inspect the rollers to ensure that they are grabbing the paper and pulling it along the paper path properly.
3. Check the paper path for any obstructions, and clear if found. Also, inspect the other parts that the paper travels through, to ensure that they are not dirty or gummy. If any dirt or other debris is found, clean the parts and try again.
4. Close the top of the printer.
5. Place the printer back online. Try the print job again.

Just let me know for further assistant.

go to start menu, control panel, printers and faxes, right click your printer, click properties, click the advanced tab and make sure your printer is set to spool print documents.

Edward, I have this same problem. Were you able to solve it? Anyone, can you help? I have installed the drivers. When I connect the printer to my Mac, it launches ImageCapture and previews the scan fine. But I am unable to get the "scan" button to become active, adn there is no place to save the scan. If I click "save pdf to iphoto" it saves a pdf of the entire screen, rather than just the photo. Appears not to be Mac compatible for scanning purposes. Thank you for your help.

Hi
It is the chips on the inks that make it shore empty nothing you can do about it.

But I have found this bit of read up on the internet forum Gave it a go may work if it works come back let us know so I can pass it on to others Thanks.

1 Take a small pice of clear tape. Try covering one of the outside vertical row of contacts at thr front of the cartridge. Re-insert it and it shoudl "fool" the printer into thinking it is a new cartridge. It works for my Lexmark 2600 series all in one.



2 Use clear tape over left hand row of sensors on front of cartridge and re-insert. ink now shows with question mark but reads as full and prints fine.

3 I had fully covered the contacts because it was the full length of my Scotch tape. It did not work. I went back and re-read thread, wiped the contacts the computer was telling me, took off the strip and put on just a sliver covering the left vertical side of the contact only. It worked! Yippee! Thanks a million!

I not have this printer myself so I not can say if it works or not.
All The Best Hope it works for you

I have this same problem and no solution! (I'm on a Lexmark 2400 and Windows XP.) The problem is how much ink it wastes on one alignment and NO BYPASS option - an ink cartridge is $25, we can't waste it on a USELESS test!!! They're trying to make money but let's not fall for it. We need a way to bypass the ****. Somebody heeelp.

You need drivers? Go to www.lexmark.com/support to get drivers for your hardware that are compatible with your OS. Not sure about compatibility? Check this out: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

I get an E.5.C. message

The EC1 error code means "Incorrect Printhead". Try to follow the steps below to identify and fix the issue:

1. Make sure the printer is on.

2. Open the printer cover. The print cartridge carrier moves and stops at the loading position, unless the All-in-One is busy.

3. Remove both cartridges from the carrier.

4. Close the printer cover.

5. Rebrick (pull out power supply, black box where the power cord is plugged in at the back of the printer, and put it back after 30 seconds).

6. When the printer turns on, reinsert one cartridge first.

7. Close the printer cover and check for any errors.

8. If no error appears, reinsert the other cartridge. Close the printer cover.

9. Replace whichever cartridge is causing the error to appear with a new cartridge.
