The device stops responding entirely. If this happens immediately after you send a document, the document file itself is the most likely cause for the controller crash.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Disconnect: Unplug the Ethernet cable or turn off the Wi-Fi.
  2. Clear queue: Delete all pending print jobs from all computers on your network.
  3. Restart: Turn the printer off, wait 60 seconds, and turn it back on.
  4. Update: If the problem continues, download the latest firmware from the official Lexmark support site.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Update your firmware at least every 6 months. Avoid printing excessively large PDF files that exceed the memory capacity of the unit. Use shielded Gigabit network cables to prevent data corruption.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico
