I'm getting "Invalid Engine Code" flashing on the printer itself. It';s an Infoprint 1120 - Type: 4520. Anyone know what might fix this? Possibly firmware update but I can't seem to confirm anywhere.
Does anyone have a source of the authorization codes for the x560n machine? contact me via [email protected]

This is actually a Lexmark printer, so what I'm quoting is a Lexmark sol. turn off machine hold down returnand go buttons turn on printer hold until performing test shows and let go of buttons it will go to a service mode ( instead of saying ready) got to printer set up hit select button go to engine 1,2 or 3 try each one ( hit select to go into that perticular number) what you are looking for is a number that has an * next to it. Use the arrow keys to scroll. most likely it changed the setting so go and look for that number w/the * and hit select when you see it.

This is what you chose, or what was saved. There should have been a lot of numbers and letters in there. I will try to see if you can recover or if you have to replace the engine board.
TRY THIS try to find out what model yours corresponds to a Lexmark then try to input the engine code. 8491G25L.PJL Engine Code for Lexmark T522

2. Turn printer on and make sure it is connected and in the Ready state.
It is also acceptable for the printer to display "Invalid Engine Code."
4. Type the following command at the DOS prompt:
ftp
press ENTER
At the ftp> prompt press ENTER and then type:
bin
press ENTER

5. The printer display panel should read "Programming Engine Code"
NOTE: Do not power off the printer or touch any menus during this
operation!!!
6. When the printer returns to the Ready state, print the menus.
Press MENU> or Press SELECT.
Press MENU> or Press SELECT to print a settings page.
7. Under the Printer Information section, the appropriate updated engine
code should be displayed.
Nice to know I was able to help. Did you mark it as solved ? Thanks

If you are doing it as a local printer ( parralel cable or USB it can be done through Start, Settings, Printers and faxes, Add a printer.
Network is different.
You have to assign or let it get an IP address from the network.
You can enter it manually in the printer
Hit the left arrow to
Network menu
hit select
Standard net setup
hit select
Print ( to print out the network settings)
scroll to TCP/IP
select
enter IP manually by scrolling to each number and hitting select

Thank you for the reply, I did as you said and I was able to get to the screen you mentioned. I did find 4 Engine Code menus and in each one the display read 0* So I hit Select on each one and it said "Saved". I exited the setup and the printer started but with the same error. "Invalid Engine Code" When I went back into the menu I tried to set it to 1 for each engine and I realised that when I selected the new number the * was automaticly put beside it. Is the * supposed to be there or does it mean that there is an error?
The choices I had was a number between 0 and 255. I only tested 0 & 1 but either way when selecting either and * was placed beside the number when I saved it. Hence when I would go bacvk into the Engine Code it would display a number and a * beside it. This was the case with all 4 engine codes. The Engine Card is secured in the PCI Slot as well as all wires secured to the card. I am unsure if I should try flashing the firmware but I think I read somewhere that this worked for a diffrent type of Lexmark printer. Only thing is, Lexmark charges for firmware if the item isn't covered by warrenty. Looks like they adopted IBMs handling of firmware.
Thank you so much for your help. I have got it working now. Another problem I encountered was that Lexmark & IBM don't like releasing Engine Codes or other firmware. If you go to their site it says you have to contact support to get a code. I did some digging and I found a list of all codes. I have uploaded it to help others.
Instructions...
What you do is find out what printer you have and what you type of firmware you need. Consult the list and make note of the keycode that applies to you. Then go to the Lexmark Firmware Site and type the keycode into the box that says "Please enter your authorization keycode*". It will then prompt for download.
Download it and follow the instructions "checkitright" posted to get it installed.
I did now. hehe Didn't see the option.
Do the solutions mentioned in this thread work with an IBM infoprint 1120? The engine codes mentioned are all for Lexmark printers. What Lexmark printer is the equivalent of the IBM Info 1120?
