Why printer is making a clicking sound? - Lexmark X6650 4-In-One Wireless InkJet Printer

It sounds like you may have sheared a gear tooth off the roller drive or the traversing mechanism. If you are getting copies just leave it alone.

Hi,
I think your printer required maintenance, because printer time all parts working then your printer print. I gas you some points link printer belt, printer header, printer roller..so any one damage or this types of issue create, so i suggest you contact HP printer technician and check it.

Thanks,

Check the rails the paper tray sits upon. see if the one on the right side is damaged or dislodged. You didn't say if the noise happened when you printed from the 2nd paper tray.

I was having the same problem. This is how to fix it. Go to the actual printer, press the setup button, scroll and click on device settings, scroll down and select device user settings, select volume settings, then you can turn off all of the sounds of the printer. I also put it on quiet mode just in case. Hope that helps!

Is the printer making a clicking sound when it is printing? Or is it just making a clicking sound but there are no light and the printer appears to be dead except making a clicking sound?

I know of a cause for either case.

Case 1. It is clicking when printing. Sometimes the toner cartridges are not seated properly in the imaging unit, and causes the gear on the cartridge to slip making a clicking sound as the gear is being turned. Try pulling out the cartridges and try turning the gear. It should turn smoothly without binding. If it binds, there is not much you can do about it except replace it when it goes empty. Reinsert the cartridge and check that it inserted completely into the imaging unit.

Case 2. Printer is dead, not printing except making a clicking sound. This is due to the power supply board failure. Usually the failure is due to a blown filter capacitor on the power supply board. The power supply is located on the right side of the printer. Remove the right side panel to get access to the board. The board can be either repaired or replaced. Hope this helps you.

Open Printers by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Hardware and Sound, and then clicking Printers. Click Add a printer.In the Add Printer Wizard, select Add a local printer.On the Choose a printer port page, make sure that the Use an existing port option button and the recommended printer port are selected, and then click Next.On the Install the printer driver page, select the printer manufacturer and model, and then click Next.Complete the additional steps in the wizard, and then click Finish.

One reason why the cartridge is making a clicking noise is that there is a washer and spring missing from the inside of the cartridge

if this is the case you will need to buy a new cartridge as it can not be solved until the washer and spring are put in
