Easy way to fix paper jams Lexmark printer 31.46, 31.66, or 201.22
Applicable to the following Lexmark printer models
Single function: MS310, MS410, MS510, MS610, M1145, & M3150
Multi function: MX310, MX410, MX51x, MX61x, XM1145, & XM3150
Possible cause
A paper jam does NOT cause the 201.22 error code. Most likely it is caused by not inserting the cartridge fully before closing the cartridge door. Closing the door in this condition will jam the linkage that opens the toner port to the imaging unit, thus the Imaging Unit starves and will not print or the auger motor will over torque because the port is not open.
Error codes 31.46 and 31.66 are precursors to the 201.22 error code. The steps below should be followed for any of these errors.
Troubleshooting
1. Open the printer's front door and inspect the cartridge button. It should not be stuck. Try using a different cartridge.
2. Check the cartridge plunger if damage or broken.
3. Make sure the cartridge is seated completely.
4. If issue persist, proceed with the Firmware update.
Note:
If the cartridge plunger is broken is broken, replace the entire Front access cover. Refer to the information below for the part #.
