Step-by-step solution

  1. Physical Power-off: Press the power button and unplug the cable from the wall outlet.
  2. Network disconnection: Remove the Ethernet or USB cable to isolate the printer from your computer.
  3. Wait: Leave the machine powered off for at least one minute to discharge internal capacitors.
  4. Restart: Plug the power back in and observe if the message persists during boot-up.

Maintenance and prevention

Keep your device firmware updated via the official support site. Avoid using faulty USB cables and ensure the internal memory is not saturated by excessive print jobs. Using genuine Lexmark supplies helps maintain system integrity.
