Lexmark X85 printer will not scan copy. All three led lights stay on. What is the problems? Open catridge door and the catridge carriage does not move.

In this case unplug the power supply from the Printer........... 1. Open the Printer Cover.......... 2. Remove both the Catridges from the Printer............ 3. Move the Catridge Carrier which holds the catridge from right to left and from left to right for about 10 times............ 4. Try to make a copy without the catridges........If this works and it gives a Blank Page out............ 5. Insert both the catridges turn the printer off and turn it on again........... 6. Now it should work fine........ Good Luck......

You are trying to put the wrong catridge into right hand side,. the catridge you have put is incorrect. try removing the catridge and put the right catridge back

Ok, go here and download the latest driver files for your printer and install them..

Check Paper light flashes but there isn't a paper related problem The check paper light may also flash if there are other problems. Verify the following conditions:

• Verify that the print cartridge door is closed.
• The print carriage may be jammed, follow these steps to correct the problem:
  1. Open the print cartridge access door. If the print carriage can move, it should move to center. If the print carriage stays all the way left, unplug the power cord and then plug it back in. This will reset the unit and may allow the print carriage to move from the left.
  2. Disconnect the power cord from the all-in-one.
  3. Remove both print cartridges.
  4. Move the print carriage left and right slightly to verify that the print carriage will move freely. If the print carriage will not move freely, check for obstructions.
  5. Close the print cartridge access door.
  6. Plug the power cord back in.
  7. After the all-in-one initializes, the print cartridge light will flash. Open the access door and install the print cartridges.
  8. Close the print cartridge access door. If the problem returns, remove the print cartridges and wipe the electrical contacts before reinstalling them.
• Try to make a copy. If the all-in-one pulls in paper but cannot make a copy, there may be a problem with the scanner mechanism. Contact HP for assistance.

 

Does carriage bash against side when power up? if so encoder strip is dirty or incorrectly seated... plastic strip inside printer lines on it 1cm wide, must sit vertical in slot on carriage

 

Might be somethin stopping print head from moving along rail, check ink carts are installed correctly and fully, check for paper squashed up left and right inside ends of printer. make sure carriage moves left and right

 

Try power up without cartridges and just black and just colour cart to eleminate cart faults does error change?
