General Information3
This manual is used to service both the IBM ExecJet II by Lexmark
4076 and the ExecJet IIc 4076 printers. The ExecJet IIc is capable of
using a color print cartridge or a black print cartridge. The ExecJet II
uses only a black print cartridge.
Both the Execjet II and the ExecJet IIc are general purpose highquality ink jet printers with a customer-replaceable print cartridge
containing the ink and the print head. The black pr int cartridge has a
total of 56 nozzles in the print head and can print at 16.7 ips in Letter
Quality mode and 30.0 ips in Draft m ode. With the black print cartridge installed, the printer prints in two directions with a resolution of
300 x 300 pels per inch in text and graphics. Print Quality Enhancement Technology (PQET) smooths the edges.
The color print cartridge used in the ExecJet IIc has a total of 48
nozzles in the print head using three major colors; cyan, magenta,
and yellow. Printing is from left-to-right with the color print cartridge
installed and print speeds are 12.0 ips in Letter Quality mode and
24.0 ips in Draft mode.
The ExecJet IIc electronically senses for the correct print cartridge
when a print job is sent to the printer. The Ink Low and Busy lights
will flash alternately to indicate to the user the correct print cartridge
must be installed.
Both printers can handle a variety of paper sizes as well as envelopes and other media using an integrated automatic sheet feeder
and manual insert tray.
Power Consumption
• Less than 2 Watts - power off and power to the printer
• 7.5 Watts - Idle Mode (power on - not printing)
• 12 Watts - Printing (average)
• 25 Watts - Printing (peak)

Maintenance Approach
The diagnostic information in this manual will lead you to the correct
field replaceable unit (FRU) or part. Use the error code charts,
symptom index, service checks, and diagnostic aids to determine
the symptom and repair the failure. Begin with “Start” on page 2-2.
This printer can be serviced without being connected to a host.
After you complete the repair, perform tests as needed to verify the
repair.

Diagnostic Information4
Use the error code charts, symptom index, service checks, and
diagnostic aids in this chapter to determine the failing part in a malfunctioning printer.
Start
Service error indications show up as flashing operator panel lights. A
flashing Draft light always indicates a service related error. If your
machine has an error indication, locate the pattern of alternating
flashing lights in the following table and take the indicated action.
If your machine does not have an error indicator, go to “Power-on-
self-test (Post) Sequence” on page 7. If an error indicator appears
while you are working on the machine, go to the error indicator table
and take the indicated action for that error.
The printer also logs the last occurring error. If you think you may
have an intermittent error, or the error indicator lights have been
cleared, you can retrieve the error from the Test Page printout:
1. Run the “Test Page” on page 26.
2. The error is the last number to print on the page in the lower right
corner. Note the number.
3. Run “Initialize Nvram” on page 28 to clear the log (the number
may not be the result of a current error).
4. Run Test Page again to verify a current error. If no error prints,
go to “Power-on-self-test (Post) Sequence” on page 7.

Power-on-self-test (Post) Sequence
When you turn the printer on it performs a POST. Turn your machine
on and check for a correct POST operation by observing the following:
1. The power light comes on.
2. All four function lights come on and then go off one light at a time
starting with the Busy light. The Draft light may take longer than
the others to go off.
3. The paper feed gears turn.
4. The carrier moves to the left and right at least one time.
5. The maintenance station cleans and caps the print head.
6. All motors stop and the power light stays on.
If your machine completes POST with no errors, go to the. “Symp-
tom Tables” on page 9, locate your symptom and take the indicated
action.
If your machine does not complete POST locate your symptom in
the following table and take the indicated action
