How Do I Clear the Memory on a Lexmark X5070 Printer?

Ensure your Lexmark X5070 works efficiently by clearing the memory when needed.

The Lexmark X5070 is an all-in-one printer that allows users to print, scan, copy and fax documents. The X5070 has built-in memory to store faxes, scans, copies and print jobs. This feature prevents jobs from being lost if power is unexpectedly lost or your computer freezes up. If your X5070 is displaying an error message or alerting you that it is out of memory, it's important to clear the memory to ensure the unit works properly.

Instructions

1. Close any programs or applications running on your system. Then, click on "Start" and select "Turn off Computer."

2. Press the "Power" button once on the Lexmark X5070 to turn the unit off.

3. Disconnect the power supply by unplugging the electrical cord from the electrical outlet. Leave the X5070 disconnected for five minutes. This causes stored memory to be cleared.

4. Restore the power supply to the X5070 by plugging the electrical cord back into the outlet. Turn the printer on by pressing the "Power" button once.

5. Turn the computer back on and allow the console to boot completely. The X5070 memory has now been cleared.
