You are using an incompatible parallel
cable

recommend Lexmark part number 1329605 (10 ft) or
1427498 (20 ft) for the standard parallel port.

Solving option problems
If an option does not operate correctly after it is
installed or if it quits working:
•
Turn the printer off, wait for about 10 seconds,
and turn the printer on. If this does not fix the
problem, unplug the printer, and check the
connection between the option and printer.
•
Print the menu settings page and check to see
if the option is listed in the Installed Options list.
If the option is not listed, reinstall it. See the
User’s Guide
for more information.
•
Make sure the option is selected in the software
application you are using.
If the suggested corrective action does not fix the
problem, call your service representative.
