Hi,



. Switch off the printer and disconnect the power supply. Allow any residual charge inside the all-in-one printer to dissipate before putting your hands or any metal tools inside the chassis.

2. Pin down the exact location of the jam. The 3 hot spots for a jam are before a sheet completely leaves the paper tray, anywhere between the feed tray and print carriage or between the print carriage and output tray.

3. Take off the front paper tray if the sheet jammed while still in the front area of the printer. If here, you should be able to see most of the paper.

4. Pull the sheet with both hands and steady pressure. Do not tug as you might rip the paper, leaving a piece deeper inside the machine.

5. Open the back panel to reach paper jammed between the feed-tray area and print carriage. Carefully remove the jammed paper.

6. Use the carriage access door to get at a jam further inside the printer. You may need to remove the print carriage to get to the jam.

7. Replace all parts and return any access panels to their closed and locked positions. Plug your printer back in and flip the power switch.

Hello Doodle,

It is the problem with the software and also the page settings. This issue can also occur due to the corrupted registry.

How ever the best way to resolve the issue is

1. Uninstall the software completely.
2. restart the computer
3. delete the temporary files
4. reinstall the updated software(do not use the cd) for your lexmark printer by clicking on the weblink below:

Once you open the webpage above select your printer model and follow the on screen instructions

Thank you. Best of Luck.
