Why does toner rub off the paper easily on my Lexmark E238 Printer?
- D
  Debbie SanchezSep 6, 2025
  If toner rubs off the paper easily when you handle the sheets from your Lexmark Printer, the Paper Texture or Paper Weight setting may be incorrect for the paper you are using. Try changing the Paper Texture from Normal to Smooth or Rough, and adjust the Paper Weight from Plain to CardStock or another appropriate weight. Also, the fuser could be worn or defective, and may need replacement.

What to do if my Lexmark E238 has print irregularities?
- A
  Aaron GarciaAug 25, 2025
  If you notice print irregularities with your Lexmark printer, it could be due to several factors. The paper may have absorbed moisture due to high humidity, so try loading paper from a fresh package. Ensure you are using paper that meets the printer's specifications and avoid textured paper with rough finishes. Also, ensure the printer driver paper type setting matches the type of paper you are using. In some cases, the fuser might be worn or defective, and you may need to replace it.
