What type of ink cartriges are used in the lexmark 5400 model

Make sure that you're using genuine Lexmark cartridges. If you are, try updating the firmware of your printer. Just go to http://bit.ly/ghfW8H to download the firmware update.

Reseat the printead again and the cartridges then reboot the printer. If it doesn't help, try replacing the cartridge.

Jast go to print option. Then Mantainance. Then try to print a nozzale. If all the colour comes out properly ( with out dot or misline), your cartrige head is goog for print. If not, your printer cartrige head is block. To reque from the problem follow the proces:
1. Unpluge colour cartrige.
2. Try to clean the cartrige head with soft cloth and amonia gentaly.
3. Try to out the ink through the head nozzale pore by using shaking or gentaly swape by soft tissue.
4. Now put the cratrige head upon a soft tissue. ( ink will comes out). If not, repit stage 1-4 until ink come out.
Thank you

You might not be able. The ink wells might be plugged. Don't spend too much money on ink.

Hello, In Purchasing Epson's CX 5400, CX4600, & CX7400 and more, I found out that Epson does not like Generic Printer Cartridges. That sounds like your problem. Also in Purchasing the Brother's . Color that should be Yellow, will turn out Green, etc. These printers have a chip, that will detect if it is Generic or Genunie. When using Generic Cartridges, it will print lines thru the words, stripes across the picture and also do a mix match with the colors.

That's what these Companies do., so they can keep selling the ink cartridges. Some Printers, are able to use Generic, but you have to fill them up yourself and I heard, quite MESSY.

So I learned, thru trial and error, that you must use the ORIGINAL Genuine Cartridges for these PRINTERS. I had to replace the printer, but Epson, Lexmark & Brothers are always on sale. My Brother & Epson cost me $50.00 with Rebate. Don’t waste too much ink in cleaning it.

This is the only advice I can give you. If you find this helpful, pls rate me.

Thanks and Good Luck :0)

Did Quill sell you a "OEM" (Original Manufacturer's Equipment) or a cartridge a third party cartridge?

If it is a third party ink or cartridge, then that's your problem. Lexmark does not condone the use of third party ink or cartridges. This is considered to be product tampering by Lexmark and they will void the printer warranty if damage results from the use of these type cartridges.

I do apologize for the bad news, but I do ask that you do not shoot the messenger. :-)

Any "Big Box" electronics store carries them, and they'll give you some advice how to install them.

Hey,
user manuals and other documents are available for your printer at http://www.lexmark.com/publications/pdfs/2007/5400-plus/en.html


Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks,  Ekse

I propose a class-action suit on behalf of everyone who owns a lexmark X5400 series. this is clearly by design that the system claims 'low ink' after only about 85 pages of little more than black and white documents, and then won't allow you to refill and replace the cartrige. I've attempted numerous little tricks that work with other systems, but the manufacturers of Lexmark seem to have gone to great lengths to prevent anyone from getting around replacing the ink cartrige. I know there have been other cases very similar to this. They wouldn't stand a chance. I propose revenge.

If you brought new Lexmark cartridges please change it as it comes with one year warranty but before try to perform a self test, (i.e make a copy) if it works then try printing , if get the error then change the cart.........................
