Lexmark 1500 Series User Manual

The power light blinks when it detects errors in the printer.

Note: If the 

 light and the 

A

 light blink alternately, see “Power light and duplex light are blinking alternately” on

page 64.

These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

Make sure there is a cartridge installed in the printer. If you are using a photo cartridge, make sure there is also a
color cartridge installed.

If a cartridge is missing, install the missing cartridge.

The color cartridge may be low on ink or out of ink. Check the ink level of the color cartridge. For more information,
see “Checking the print cartridges” on page 84.

If the color ink level is low, replace the color cartridge with a new one. To order a new cartridge, see “Ordering print
cartridges” on page 61.

The printer is out of paper. Load more paper to continue printing. For more information, see “Loading paper” on
page 28.

Check to see if the paper jam is in the paper support or in the duplex unit, and then remove the paper jam. For more
information, see “Jams and misfeeds troubleshooting” on page 97.

Note: If the 

 light and the 

A

 light blink alternately, see “Power light and duplex light are blinking alternately” on

page 64.

The black cartridge may be low on ink or out of ink. Check the ink level of the black cartridge. For more information,
see “Checking the print cartridges” on page 84.

If the black ink level is low, replace the black cartridge with a new one. To order a new cartridge, see “Ordering print
cartridges” on page 61.

The 

 light and the 

A

 light blink alternately when the printer detects errors in the memory card slots or in the

PictBridge port.

These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

The printer recognizes one active media device at a time. Do not insert two memory cards at one time, a flash drive
and a memory card at one time, or a PictBridge-enabled digital camera and a memory card at one time.

Check to see if your camera is a PictBridge-enabled digital camera. For more information, see the documentation
that came with your camera.
