Lexmark XC9445 error 80.05: ADF paper jam
The Lexmark XC9445 error 80.05 indicates that a physical obstruction or a problem has been detected in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) mechanism. This error occurs when pages tilt during feeding or when paper fragments block the path sensors. When researching why does my printer show error 80.05, maintaining the rollers is the key solution. Keeping the ADF clean ensures smooth multi-page scanning.
Common causes
- 1Staples, clips, or tape not removed from original documents.
- 2Wear on ADF drive rollers causing slipping.
- 3Too thin or irregular-sized paper incompatible with the ADF.
- 4Paper fragments blocking the path sensor light beam.
Solutions
Diagnóstico rápido
The 80.05 error manifests when the printer attempts to move a document but the sensor does not confirm its exit or correct position. If you see a flashing red light on the ADF, the jam is confirmed. Inspect the input tray to see if paper is aligned correctly.Solución paso a paso
- Open ADF lid: Lift the top cover of the automatic document feeder.
- Remove paper: Gently remove any jammed sheet by pulling it in the direction of the natural flow.
- Inspect rollers: Wipe the feed rollers with a slightly damp cloth to remove any paper residue.
- Reset sensor: Close the lid firmly so the jam detection sensor can reset.
Prevención y mantenimiento
To prevent this error, always check that original documents do not have staples, tape, or glue residues. Monthly cleaning of the ADF rubber rollers with a damp cloth prevents them from losing traction. Never exceed the maximum number of sheets recommended by the manufacturer for the feeder.Cuándo llamar a un técnico
If the 80.05 error persists after cleaning the rollers and verifying there are no paper scraps, it might be a fault in the optical paper detection sensor, which requires technical inspection.Ficha técnica del equipo

Frequently asked questions
The 80.05 error means that a document has not been correctly processed through the ADF or that a piece of paper is blocking the sensor.
It is common when the paper used has staples, clips, or if the ADF rollers have a buildup of dust or toner residues.
Ensure you remove all clips and staples from original documents and do not exceed the ADF's maximum load capacity.
Only distilled water and a lint-free cloth are recommended; avoid chemical solvents that may damage the rubber on the rollers.
