950.xx NVRAM Mismatch error code

Here are steps to troubleshoot a 950.xx NVRAM Mismatch error code on the Lexmark X64x Series AIOs.

Issue description

A 950 NVRAM Mismatch
message indicates that the MFP's system card has encountered an error while checking its NVRAM (non-volatile random access memory).

Solution

If a 950 NVRAM Mismatch
message appears on your MFP, a service call may be required. However, please be aware that certain rare occurrences, such as a power fluctuation or a static discharge in the vicinity of the MFP, can cause a false 950 NVRAM Mismatch
message to appear. In such cases, the error is only temporary and can be easily resolved without service. The following steps help determine if a service call is required:

Power the MFP off, wait thirty (30) seconds, and then power the MFP back on. Did the error message return?
