Try these steps:

1 Pull out power adapter (black brick where power cord is plugged in at the back of the printer)

2 Turn the printer upside down and shake it

3 Open printer cover and check for obstructions

4 Check input tray (tray where you’re loading the paper) for obstructions

5 Check output tray (where paper is coming out) for obstructions

6 Put back power adapter to turn on printer

7 Try to copy something

If you're still having problem, please contact Lexmark.
