Laser notice
The printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for Class I (1)
laser products, and elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC
60825-1.
Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The printer contains internally a Class IIIb (3b) laser
that is nominally a 7 milliwatt gallium arsenide laser operating in the wavelength region of 655-675 nanometers.
The laser system and printer are designed so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a Class
I level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service condition.
Laser
Der Drucker erfüllt gemäß amtlicher Bestätigung der USA die Anforderungen der Bestimmung DHHS
(Department of Health and Human Services) 21 CFR Teil J für Laserprodukte der Klasse I (1). In anderen
Ländern gilt der Drucker als Laserprodukt der Klasse I, der die Anforderungen der IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commission) 60825-1 gemäß amtlicher Bestätigung erfüllt.
Laserprodukte der Klasse I gelten als unschädlich. Im Inneren des Druckers befindet sich ein Laser der Klasse
IIIb (3b), bei dem es sich um einen Galliumarsenlaser mit 7 Milliwatt handelt, der Wellen der Länge 655-675
Nanometer ausstrahlt. Das Lasersystem und der Drucker sind so konzipiert, daß im Normalbetrieb, bei der
Wartung durch den Benutzer oder bei ordnungsgemäßer Wartung durch den Kundendienst Laserbestrahlung,
die Klasse I übersteigen würde, Menschen keinesfalls erreicht.
Avis relatif à l’utilisation de laser
Pour les Etats-Unis : cette imprimante est certifiée conforme aux provisions DHHS 21 CFR alinéa J concernant
les produits laser de Classe I (1). Pour les autres pays : cette imprimante répond aux normes IEC 60825-1
relatives aux produits laser de Classe I.
Les produits laser de Classe I sont considérés comme des produits non dangereux. Cette imprimante est
équipée d’un laser de Classe IIIb (3b) (arséniure de gallium d’une puissance nominale de 7 milliwatts) émettant
sur des longueurs d’onde comprises entre 655 et 675 nanomètres. L’imprimante et son système laser sont
conçus pour impossible, dans des conditions normales d’utilisation, d’entretien par l’utilisateur ou de révision,
l’exposition à des rayonnements laser supérieurs à des rayonnements de Classe I .
Avvertenze sui prodotti laser

Most paper jams can be avoided by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer.
The following hints can help prevent paper jams:
•Use only the recommended print media.
•Do not overload the print media sources. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the maximum height
indicated by the stack line on the labels in the sources.
•Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
•Flex, fan, and straighten print media before loading it. If jams do occur with the print media, then try feeding
one sheet at a time through the manual feeder.
•Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.
•Push all trays in firmly after loading them.
Note: Make sure the media stack is below the maximum media fill indicators on the 250-sheet tray before
pushing the tray into the printer.
•Make sure paper guides are positioned before loading the paper or specialty media.
•Do not remove trays while a job is printing.
•Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
•Do not use envelopes that:
– Have excessive curl
– Are stuck together
– Are damaged in any way
– Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossments
– Have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
– Have postage stamps attached
– Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position
•Use only recommended media. Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on the Lexmark Web site
at www.lexmark.com for more information about which media provides optimum results for the current
printing environment.
Tools
The removal and adjustment procedures require the following tools and equipment:
•Spring hook
•Needle nose pliers
•Volt-ohmmeter
•#1 and #2 Phillips screwdriver
•Slotted screwdriver

2. Diagnostics information
Start
CAUTION: Unplug power from the printer before connecting or disconnecting any other cable,
assembly, or electronic card. This is a precaution for personal safety and to prevent damage to the
printer.
This chapter contains the codes and diagnostic tools to aid in providing corrective action for a malfunctioning
printer. To determine the corrective action to repair a printer, look for the following information:
•A description of a problem, see “Diagram of the printer menus” on page 2-43.
•Information from the operator panel of the printer.
– Models E260d and E260dn have an operator panel containing lights and buttons.
Warning:Paper clips are commonly used near printers and can become lodged in the paper path. Always
check for and remove any debris in the paper path.

Power-On Self Test (POST) sequence
When the printer is turned on, it performs a POST. Check for correct POST functioning of the base printer by
observing the following process:
1. All operator panel lights on momentarily
2. Lights then flash on and off sequentially.
3. After the lights quit flashing, the light flashes until the fuser comes up to temperature (5-20 additional
seconds, depending on the initial temperature of the fuser) and then stays on.
4. If there is a problem in the printer such as a paper jam, then the panel lights indicate the problem. See
“Common primary light patterns” on page 2-4 for more information.
5. The printer cycles down into standby mode, and lights solid.
2-2 Lexmark™ E260d, E260dn
4513-220, -230
Light patterns and error messages
User attendance messages, paper jam errors, and service errors display a light pattern. This may be all the
information that is needed. However, if is double-clicked on the panel, a second pattern may appear with
more detailed information. If is double-clicked again, the first pattern usually returns. Not all initial level light
patterns have secondary patterns. In which case, when double-clicking, the pattern does not change.
Double-
click
Secondary CodesPrimary Codes
All service errors are indicated by all lights flashing as the primary notification or code. The secondary code
indicates an area or function which has the error. Additional tertiary codes used for service (see “Service
tertiary error codes” on page 2-30) indicate specific errors. See “Service codes” on page 2-28.
Note: If data is sent to the printer and all lights flash immediately, and double-clicking does not change the
display, then there may be a code problem. Contact the next level of support.
