1. General Information
The Lexmark X73 machine is an electro-mechanical scanner,
printer, and copier that creates characters and graphics by
composing programmed patterns of ink dots using a printhead and
liquid ink. The printhead uses small heater plates and nozzles to
control ink flow and the formation of characters on the print media.
The printhead assembly and ink supply are combined into a singleunit, print cartridge available as a customer replaceable supply item.
Dual printheads provide color and true black printing without
changing printheads. The number and size of inkjets or nozzles, in
the printhead, determines the overall quality and capability of the
printer. The black cartridge has a total of 208 nozzles and installs on
the right. The color cartridge has a total of 192 nozzles and installs
on the left. The printer is capable of printing in two directions from
either cartridge.
Power Consumption
• <6 Watts - power off and power to the printer
• 8 Watts - Idle Mode (power on - not printing)
• 21 Watts - Printing (average)
• 31 Watts - Printing (peak)

Motor
Check the transport carrier motor connector J4. If
connected, check for approximately 28 volts on
pins 1 and 2 or at the wire connections located on
the rear of the transport carrier motor. If voltage is
incorrect, replace the system board. If voltage is
correct, check the motor for shorts.
Check the motor for binds, or loose motor pulley.
A noisy or chattering motor or a motor that fails to
turn can be caused by:
• An open or short in the motor.
• An open or short in the motor driver
on the system board.
• A bind in the carrier transport
mechanism.
With the carrier transport motor cable (J4)
disconnected from the system board, check for 0
to 10 ohms between the following pins on the
motor:
J4-1 and J4-2
If the readings are incorrect, replace the print
engine. Go to the “Print Engine Removal” on

FRU Action
1 Maintenance
Station Assembly
As the carrier moves to the right over the
maintenance station, a slot on the bottom of the
carrier engages a tab on the sled of the
maintenance station causing the cap to rise and
seal the printhead. Carrier movement to the left
uncaps the printhead. The wiper cleans the
printhead nozzles as the carrier leaves the
maintenance station. The wiper cleans the
printhead only when the carrier is moving to the
left. There should be no wiping action of the
printhead nozzles when the carrier is moving to
the right. After the cleaning operation is complete,
a tab on the maintenance stati on engages a tab on
the carrier, causing the wiper to lower.
Check the maintenance station for worn or broken
parts. Replace if needed. G o to the “Maintenance
Station Removal” on page 4-14.
Worn wipers cau se degr aded print qual ity just a fter
a maintenance cleaning. Check for loose or worn
wipers.
Worn caps cause th e printhea d nozz les to dry and
clog. Check for loose or worn caps.

Paper Feed Service Check
If your machine does not have paper jam problems, continue with
the service check. If your machine does have a paper jam problem,
examine it for the following before you begin the service check:
• Check the entire paper path for obstructions.
• Be sure there is not too much paper in the sheet feeder.
• Be sure the correct type of paper is being used.
• Check for static in the paper.
FRU Action
1 System Board Run the “P owe r-On Self T est (POS T) Sequence”
on page 2-1. Replace parts as needed. To check
the paper feed motor, disconnect the paper feed
connector J3 and check for approximately 5 ohms
between pins 3 and 4. If the reading is incorrect,
replace the print engine. Go to the “Print Engine
Removal” on page 4-11. If the reading is correct,
replace the system board. Go to the “System

Although the paper feeds in a forward direction
only, the paper feed motor turns in two directions.
If the paper feed motor turns in one direction only,
replace the system board. Go to the “System

To run a complete test page of black and color patterns, be sure the
printhead cartridges are in good condition.
To enter the test:
1. Open the access cover.
2. Install a known good black print cartridge in the right side of the
carrier and a good color print cartridge in the left side.
3. Close the access cover.
4. Install paper in the sheet feeder.
5. Press and hold the paper feed button while pressing the power
button and releasing it.
6. Paper feeds into the printer.

Note: To stop test page, press the power button again.
The test page prints three color bars, nozzle purge pattern, black
purge pattern, black nozzle purge pattern and heater checks. The
purge pattern is used to clear all printhead nozzles. The nozzle test
pattern prints all nozzles on a diagonal line. There should be no
breaks in the nozzle test pattern. A break in the pattern indicates
one or more nozzles are not working.

4. Repair Information
This chapter explains how to make adjustments to the printer and
how to remove defective parts.
Note: Read the following before handling electronic parts.
Handling ESD-Sensitive P arts
Many electronic products use parts that are known to be sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent damage to ESD-sensitive
parts, follow the instructions below in addition to all the usual
precautions, such as turning off power before removing system
board:
• Keep the ESD-sens itiv e pa rt in its original shi pping conta iner ( a spe cial
“ESD bag”) until you are ready to install the part into the machine.
• Make the least-possible movements with your body to prevent an
increase of static electricity from clothing fibers, carpets, and furniture.
• Put the ESD wrist strap on your wrist. Connect the wrist band to the
system ground poin t. This di schar ges an y sta tic elec tricit y in y our bod y
to the machine.
• Hold the ESD-sensitive part by its edge connector shroud (cover); do
not touch its pins. If you are removing a pluggable module, use the
correct tool.
• Do not place the ESD-sensitive part on the machine cover or on a
metal table; if you need to put down the ESD-sensitive part for any
reason, first put it into its special bag.
• Machine cov ers and metal ta bl es ar e elec trical gro unds . T he y incr ease
the risk of damage because they make a discharge path from your
body through the ESD-sensitive part. (Large metal objects can be
discharge paths without being grounded.)
• Prevent ESD-sens iti ve parts from being accidentally touched b y other
personnel. Install machine covers when you are not working on the
machine, and do not put un protected E SD-sensitive p arts on a table.
• If possible, keep all ESD-sensitive parts in a grounded metal cabinet
(case).
• Be extra careful in wo rking with ESD-sensit ive parts when cold weat her
heating is used because low humidity increases static electricity.

Adjustments
The user is directed, in the Printer Control program, to perform the
printhead alignment adjustments after replacing a print cartridge.
Removal Procedures
The following procedures are arranged according to the name of the
printer part discussed.
CAUTION: Unplug the power cord before removing any parts.
Releasing Plastic Latches
Many of the parts are held in place with plastic latches. The latches
break easily; release them carefully . To remove such parts, press the
hook end of the latch away from the part to which it is latched.
