Lexmark printer x6150

I am receiving a cartridge error 50C and my user guide is not immediately handy. What must I do to fix this?

Anonymous Jul 09, 2008

I refilled both the color and black cartridges. Alingment page was fine. Went to troubleshooting and printed the clean nozzels page fine. Tried to clean again and have been getting 50C error message ever since. Have removed and clean cartridges multiple times. Have cleaned inside cartridge carriers. Still get 50C error message. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem and used Solution #3 (above) from a "Guest". Since I was only immediately concerned with printing in black, I took out the color cartridge and the printer is now working fine!

C50 is cartridge error. But it can also be the cartridge cradle (holder) electronics. Try new cartridges first.

X6150 printer worked fine until I was running out of ink. So replaced both 82 and 83 cartridges (new). Then got online help with 50C error message; moistened gold area on both surfaces of cartridges and...

Try to do the Clean Cartridge function using the control panel on your printer. 1. Press Copy. 2. Press Options until Maintenance appears on the display. 3. Press the right arrow until Clean Cartridges appears on the display. 4. Press Select. A nozzle page prints, forcing ink through the nozzles to clean the clogged nozzles. 5. Print your document again to verify that your print quality has improved.
If problem continues and it's beyond return period, please contact Lexmark technical support for additional assistance.

Installed refilled ink catriges,both black and color used for a few days all was well then, it reads Catridge Error -Error: 50C Go to users guide. what do I do Now cannot find users guide. plzzz help.

Though Lexmark does not recommend using refilled inks. You may refer to this article from the Lexmark website on Cartridge Error 50C and Other Errors on the Lexmark X5100/X6100 Series LCD Screen. If this does not help, try to insert a genuine Lexmark cartridge to determine if your other cartridge is faulty. Thanks.

Lexmark 6100 cartridge error 50c

Are you using a factory "New" Lexmark cartridge?

Lexmark does not support the use of refilled cartridges or third party cartridges in their products.

Lexmark considers this to be Product Tampering and will void the printer' warranty.

Error 50c

One of the cartridges is shorting. I removed the colour cartridge and no error came on. I overrode the cartridge missing and the printer works well. All I have to do is replace the colour cartridge or override everytime it is switched on. So simple, so why not in the user guide?
