When all leds are blinking, this would mean that the printer is having a service error. To correct the issue you need to power down the printer and try send a print job. If this will not fix the problem, it is necessary to obtain the secondary and tertiary codes to determine which part failed and service the printer.
Please visit the link below to get instructions on how to get the secondary and tertiary error.
For further assistance, please contact Lexmark Technical Support.
