Instructions for resolving error 0502:

Check the encoder strip on the printer. (This is a clear strip running the length of the printer, above or behind the cartridge carrier.) Do the following:

• Switch off the printer using the power button.
• Disconnect the power cable from the back of the Lexmark X5100 / X6100 Series.
• Leave the power cable disconnected for 30 seconds.
• Slide the cartridge carrier to the middle of the printer by taking the top part of the belt and moving it gently to the right.
• Take out both cartridges.
• Place an index finger on the encoder strip on either side of the cartridge carrier.
• On the back of the cartridge carrier, there is a small slot that the encoder strip fits into. Slightly push the encoder strip down and then back up to get it into the slot.
• Lightly press the strip first to the rear and then forward, if necessary.
• Clean the encoder strip with a dry tissue. Also clean the contacts of the printer.
• Reconnect the power cable and switch the printer on again.
• Perform the hardware test without cartridges first and then with both cartridges.*
• Make a standalone copy.
• If the copy is satisfactory, repeat the test once to confirm that the error is gone.
