Printer blinking network light on the printer what does this mean?

mia25 Feb 25, 2008

This is a brand new printer I have just hooked up and the network light keeps blinking. Also, I can print a test page using wireless but that is the only time it will print. When I send a document (excel), I end up with an error. Can you help?

Both the network light and the wireless status light are blinking. The former is blue; the latter green. Thanks for any help.

SOURCE: all lights are blinking

This problem occurs for two reasons: the front panel cover was not installed or the ink cartridge access door was not closed before plugging in the all-in-one.
The front panel overlay must be correctly installed before the power cord is plugged in. Follow the steps below to correct the problem:
Disconnect the power cord.
Lift the scanner lid and carefully line up and install the front panel overlay.
Plug the power cord in.

let me know if this solves your problem wendy.

My wi fi orange light is blinking on my lexmark x4650 printer

The blinking WiFi light on your printer indicates either your printer is trying to communicate with your wireless network or your printer is not connected at all. For a quick fix, try to disconnect your printer from the power outlet. Power cycle your router and reboot your computer. Then, power on your router first, then your printer and lastly your computer. Check the WiFi light on your printer. If it goes to a solid green, that means you are connected back in your network. If not, you may reset your printer's wireless network adapter to its default settings. From the printer operator panel, press the Setup button > Network Setup > Reset Network Adapter to Default. The WiFi light on your printer will momentarily turn off then back on solid orange. Then try to run the Lexmark Wireless Setup Utility on your computer to reconfigure your printer to connect to your wireless network.
I hope this helps.
