32 Unsupported Cartridge

1. Open the top front cover of the printer. If the display DOES NOT read Close cover or Insert cartridge, the 32 error is not caused by the toner cartridge and printer service will be required to fix the problem.
   
   
2. Make sure the correct toner cartridge is installed for this printer model.
   1. Check Lexmark for a list of compatible cartridges for your printer. 
   2. If the wrong toner cartridge is installed, remove it and install the correct one.
       
3. If the correct toner cartridge is installed, it may not be seated correctly. To ensure that this is not the cause of the error, do the following:
   1. Turn off the printer.
   2. Reseat the toner cartridge.
   3. Close the lid.
   4. Power the printer back on and check the display.
       
4. If reseating the toner cartridge does not clear the error message and the error started as soon as you installed this particular toner cartridge, the cartridge may be broken. You can check this as follows:
   1. Power off the printer and then reinstall the old cartridge. (You can also try a different new cartridge to see if that clears the error.)
   2. If the error does disappear, the problem may lie with this cartridge. Please contact the point of purchase, especially if the cartridge is brand new out of the box. 
       
5. If the error cannot be cleared by putting in a new toner cartridge or one that is known to be working, the printer may require service to fix the problem.
