Lexmark X4650 InkJet Printer - Page 7 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

These new printers register and memorize ink cartridges so that they cannot be refilled the only way to refill them is to never let then run to zero percent once they reach zero the printer prevents them from operating if you do catch them before they rundow they will still run down to nothing but will continue to operate as long as you donot let them run out of ink.

Thumbs Up if Helpful also feedback is appreciated!!!

Lay the picture to be scanned face-down on the glass. Square up the photo using the guides that are usually located along the edges of the scanning bed.

Click the scan button on your computer's scanning software window. Some all-in-one printers need you to press the scan button on the printer itself; check the manual before using.

Get a preview of the scanned image up on your computer monitor. This might happen automatically depending on your software settings; if not, you will have to prompt your computer to display one.

Open the printer cover and access the cartridge area. Remove both cartridges. While the cover is open, check for any obstructions in the cartridge carrier's path. Check for any loose transparent strip (encoder strip). If cartridge area clear from these, Close the cover. Unplug and replug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, open the printer cover and reinsert the cartridges. Close the cover and try to print again.

Check if your printer is still connected to the same network as your computer. Refer to this article: How to Print the Network Settings Page on X4600 Series All-In-Ones (AIOs). If you the printout, check the SSID and other network information. If printer still belongs to your network, then it could be a firewall issue. Make sure to allow all Lexmark and printer communications in the program rules/permissions for your firewall. If printer doesn't belong the same network as your computer, then you need to reset the printer's wireless network adapter and re-launch the Lexmark Wireless Setup Utility. How to Restore the Network Settings on the X4650 AIO to the Original Factory Defaults

There could be something blocking the paper path. Remove the sheets of paper from the feeder. Grab a flashlight and look inside for any debris. Make sure the paper path is clear from any obstructions. If you see any physical defects that causes this problem, please contact Lexmark technical support for additional assistance.

Make sure the printer is on. Open the printer cover and press the lid to open the cartridge holder.

It could be that the print spooler service on your computer has stopped. - Browse to Start -> Run... and type in "NET STOP SPOOLER" (this will stop the print spooler service)

- type in "NET START SPOOLER" (this will restart the print spooler service)
Try to print again.

I`ll guess You`ll have to connect your PC to the printer with the use of a usb cable.
Then run the Lexmark software (Lexmark printer home) or similar (don`t know what you are using?)... Go to "settings"; and choose wireless setup utility. You`ll have to manually set the SSID (the wanted wireless network) and the WIFI password for this network. Hope this will help.

Sounds to me like a bad USB cable,
Also when you're re-installing the printer are you using new/different drivers?

I would try a new cable and the latest drivers direct from Lexmark.com

Visit the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/iofMNC to download the Lexmark X4650 driver. Select your operating system, download and execute the file. Follow the instructions on your computer screen.

First remove both cartridges clean the gold plated area and the area where the ink goes out as well as the area where you plug it in ...And then turn it off first and then it turn it back on the open the cover wait for the cartridge carrier to go to the cetner and then install the cartridges make sure its properly plug in after plugging it in . lock the lever of carrier and close the cover .. Try to check if it will print print a test page . If nothing happens uninstall and reinstall the drivers

What is the version of your new black cartridge? Make sure you are using genuine a Lexmark cartridge. If you've already tried reseating the black cartridge and rebooting the printer yet problem continues, it could be a faulty black cartridge. If you're beyond the return period, please contact Lexmark technical support for additional assistance.

Installing/Replacing your ink cartridges:
1. Open the printer, and then press down on the cartridge carrier levers.

2. Remove the used print cartridge or cartridges. 3. If you are installing new print cartridges, remove the tape from the back and bottom of the color cartridge, insert the cartridge in the right carrier, and then close the color cartridge carrier lid. 4. If a black cartridge is included in the box contents, remove the tape from the back and bottom of the black cartridge, insert the cartridge in the left carrier, and then close the black cartridge carrier lid. 5. Close the printer.

Sometimes the ink cartridge carrier won't automatically move to its loading position even when the printer is on and the cover is open. Follow the steps below:

1. Unplug the printer from the power source.

2. With the cover open, hold the solid white strip that connects from the carrier assembly to the ink cartridge carrier and gently slide the cartridge carrier to the center of the printer.

3. Remove the used cartridges.

4. Load the new cartridges. Close the cover.

5. Plug the printer back to the power source.

Your firewall could be blocking some printer communications. Make sure to allow full access to all Lexmark and printer communications in the program rules/permissions for your firewall. For more information on how to configure the settings for your firewall, visit the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/iNwkNs.

Hi.
Completely remove program.
Download latest printer update for your printer from Lexmark, following instructions to install.

Rem to have the printer turned on, so system is able to detect printer signal.

Hope this assists.

Try to reseat the printhead. Open the cover of the printer > remove the printhead. If the printhead will not go to the center, unplug the printer from the power outlet to turn it off, pull the printhead to the center. Then remove the printhead. Close the cover. Replug the printer to the power source after at least 10 seconds. Re-insert the printhead when prompted.
If problem continues, updating the firmware for your printer will help fix the issue. Turn off the printer and remove the printhead from the printer again. Close the cover. Replug to the power source after 10 seconds. It will then ask you to "Open Cover to Install the Printhead". Press the Cancel (Red X) button. It should take you back to the "Copy" menu. Proceed with the firmware update. Just go to http://bit.ly/s405fw to download and install the update. Once the update is done, reinsert the printhead by following the prompt on the screen of your printer.
