If it's not the AC adaptor you need but the power cord itself, then take the AC adaptor into any decent electrical /computer spares shop for them to see the socket type, then I'm sure they'll sort you out a suitable one.

Go to Lexmark - United States

This will require the cartridges specified and I think is not a photo printer with great quality.
So use the default cartridges given along

Hello

OK, you will be able to download the needed drivers and software at the link below.

Remove both ink cartridges and check the bottoms to be sure all of the tap is removed. Small pieces of tape frequently are stuck to the cartridge bottom causing errors. Confirm you have the correct cartridges (# 34 for Black(HIGHYIELD) and #33 for color). Reseat the cartridges and try again.

You may have a fax stuck in the memory.
You may have to clear the print spooler.
Just google " clear print spooler" for lots of advice.

1203 error can either be caused by a short in one of the cartridges or a communication failure between the cartridges and the printer. Refer to this article from Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/ctJXzu to determine the cause of the problem. Thanks.

1203 indicates a failure in the cartridge. If you have not replaced it with a new, Lexmark Branded cartridge, then that is step ONE. if a new cartridge has the same issue, the try cleaning the contacts on the cartridge and the cartridge tray with a clean pencil eraser.

Align the print cartridges after installing them to improve print quality. To do this:




1. Load plain paper.

2. Open the Lexmark Solution Center.

3. From the Maintenance tab, click Align to fix blurry edges.

4. Click Print.

Hope that helps.

The 2200 error indicates the scanner stall or jam. In your case, the printer is not able to scan the page for faxing because the mechanism stalled. Here's an article on 2200 Error on the Lexmark X7100 Series All-In-One. Just click on this link: http://bit.ly/cjxdtv. The article will guide you on what to do. But if problem continues, don't hesitate to contact Lexmark technical support to further investigate the problem. Thanks.

You don't need to have a computer plugged in to the Lexmark printer to receive faxes. Here's an article on How to Configure the Lexmark X7170 to Receive Faxes. Just click on this link: http://bit.ly/d643uT. If you are sharing your home phone line with the fax and you have an answering machine on the same line, make sure to configure the answering machine to pick up first then the fax machine. Voicemail feature can also block incoming faxes. Once voicemail picks up the fax, signal won't be passed on to the printer. But if you want, you can also contact Lexmark technical support to further investigate the problem.

Try to unplug the power adapter from the printer. The power adapter is the rectangular black box behind the printer where the power cord is attached. Leave the power cord attached to it and the other end plugged in straight to the power outlet in the wall. Bypass any surge device or power strip. Wait at least 20 seconds before plugging it back in the printer. If the printer won't automatically power on, press the power button. If this doesn't help, I strongly suggest you contact Lexmark technical support to further investigate the problem. thanks.
