    Our toner light is also flashing and we have black roller marks on the right hand edge also. I printed out the Device Statistics and it indicated the photoconductor supply level is low (close to 0%). The photoconductor is the component that the cartridge is slotted into.



    I've ordered a new photoconductor and I'll let you know if replacing it stops the light blinking and fixes the black marks on the edge of the page.

Could be photoconductor at end of life.

You shoul still be able to do a printer test print (press the arrow button).

Look on the printed pagesfor Toner AND Photoconductor.

These show as OK when new or very low count, and 100% when fully used.

If the toner is showing as 100% when you've just replaced it, either the chip is faulty, the wrong one, or if the cartridge is a remanufactured one possibly nor been replaced.

The printer toner light is continuously flashing even after putting in a new cartridge

After installing a new cartridge and the blinking light is on Toner Low, it means that the photoconductor is almost full and should be replaced soon. Press and release the Continue button (green button) to clear the light sequence and continue processing the print job. If the light is still blinking, replace the photoconductor kit.

For further assistance, please call Lexmark Technical Support.

My toner cartridge was recently replaced (we use the proper cartridges, not refills) and within about 3 weeks (sooner than last time) the "toner low" light is flashing. The print quality is still perfect....

Whenever you replace the photoconductor kit, you will also need to manually reset the photoconductor page counter. Visit the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/8YJwFU, for the instructions on how to reset the pc page count. You can also contact Lexmark technical support or your authorized service provider for additional assistance.

I changed the toner on my Lexmark E250dn and now it has the "!" light on all the time and won't print. It's a new cartridge what is going on?

"!" means error.

Try removing cartridge and installing it again and might be one of the cartridge missing.

Try operating manual. Might helps, there are lots of reason for the error

Bulb sign light is flashing. Hence printer doesn't print

Well I kept trying to find out the solution as I don't have any user's guide with me and finally I got a hint. I just reinstalled drivers & related software which solved the problem. Printer is new
there cann't be any other type of problem like toner or developer etc. So this is a very positive approach to reinstall the software.

Lexmark E250d

I had the same problem today with my printer. All of a sudden, the first and fourth light lit up. I contacted Lexmark and they said my toner cartrigde needed to be replaced.
The problem is caused by the little chip under the cartridge. I replaced the chip with an old one I had on another cartridge and I got the printer to work again.
You can buy a replacement chip from Lexmark or from a jobber selling replacement cartridge or toner refills.
Hope that helps.
