- !232.05 keeps returning on clean paper and a fully cleared path.
- !You see a recurring feed pattern that points to a hardware or sensor issue.
What to check first
Step-by-step checks
- 1
Safe first step
Clear the jam and check the full path, including the output bin.
Start with the official recovery step before moving on to parts or deeper servicing.
- 2
Consumable check
Replace damp, curled, or damaged paper with fresh sheets.
- 3
Safe first step
Keep media sizes and weights consistent in the same source.
Background
What this message usually means
Lexmark uses 232.05 for a duplex paper jam where the sheet never cleared the input sensor during two-sided printing. The official steps add paper condition and output-bin checks before escalating to hardware.
Diagnosis
Likely causes
Paper is curling, wrinkling, or feeding inconsistently in duplex mode.
The output bin is too full during a long duplex run.
The media mix or tray loading is causing repeated skew.
Service
When service or replacement is more likely
- -Lexmark's official steps for this code also call out output-bin monitoring on long duplex jobs.
