Printer is hanging or a 'Busy Printing' message appears intermittently on the control panel

Printer Hangs or 'Busy Printing' Message Appears Intermittently on the Control Panel

Overview

When printing from one of the paper inputs (i.e.,
Tray 1
,
Tray 2
, etc.), the printer displays a '
Printing
or
Busy State
' message on its operator panel.
This can happen when one or more of the
input trays
are
unable
to pick the paper.

Solution

  1. First, identify which input tray is causing the issue. If you
    cannot
    determine which paper trays are affected, please proceed with the next step below.
  2. Perform a
    print test
    with each input tray. Be sure that the paper in each tray is loaded properly. Once you determine the problem's source, please contact
    Lexmark Technical Support
    or a local authorized service provider to arrange a service call.
    If only one paper tray is affected, you should be able to use the remaining trays as normal.
