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)

2Carrier Transport
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
page 4-11.
