My printer will not work at all. There is a light blinking on the front and a message on the display B81AA1A4.

The printer is in good working order if it displays the messages READY, BUSY, or POWER SAVER. Try the suggestions below if the beeping sounds persists.


The printer is indicating a "hardware failure" condition if it beeps THREE times, followed by a pause. The printer's display panel needs to display the precise fault message. Determine what the error message is trying to tell you and take the necessary action. Power off the printer and let it wait for a minute before turning it back on if you are unable to determine the precise fault situation from the panel. The printer will probably need repair if this issue persists. For more help, please get in touch with local authorised service providers or Lexmark Technical Support.

The blinking is just an attention light so there's nothing to worry about that. Try adjusting your paper tray to the paper size you are about to use. Or try checking the duplexer panif its positioned properly. Hope this helps.

Hi,
What is the error light
Step one: Identify the specific printing problemIf your All-in-One won't print, first you need to identify the specific issue or symptom. What exactly happens when you try to print? Do you see an error message or do the lights on the printer start blinking (flashing)? Does nothing happen at all? Follow these steps to identify your unique printing issue before troubleshooting. If you can identify a symptom based one of these methods, make a note of the symptom, and then continue to the next step. Method one: Look for blinking lightsLook for any blinking lights on the front or top of the All-in-One. Sometimes just the power button can blink, or a small indicator light on the printer can blink, or a combination of buttons can blink all at once. Example indicator lights on the printer Attention lights Wireless indicator light Cartridge lights Error Lights Example blinking lights patterns
Method two: Look for error messagesPrinting problems are usually accompanied by an error message of some sort, usually on the control panel display (if your All-in-One has one), or on your computer monitor. Check both places for specific error messages. Error messages might or might not be accompanied by an icon representing the error. Following are some examples of error messages you might see on your computer screen or control panel display.

• 'Printer is Offline '
• 'Align Cartridges '
• 'E ' (error condition)
• 'Document(s) pending ' (Roll your mouse over the product icon in the lower-right corner of the computer screen.)

there are two cartridge one is the ink cartridge which can be found on the left side of the printer (in front)and the other one is the head cartridge that can be found on the right side if you will open the printer cover that is the carriage check it if the flip cover is lock properly then try to reinsert the head cartridge..

One of the cartridges is faulty, you will need to replace them.

This document should help you out. Follow the instructions carefully.
