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

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.

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.

Tertiary codes (shown on the following pages) indicate specific device errors. When all lights flash, double-click to see the secondary code. Double-click again to see the tertiary code. Double-click a third time to return to the primary light pattern.

In the following example:

• The primary light pattern indicates a service error (all flashing). Double-click for more information.

• The secondary light pattern indicates a fuser, toner sensor, or fan error. Double-click for more

information.

• The tertiary light pattern indicates the fan has stalled. Double-click again, and the original primary light

pattern will appear.

Service checks

Service checks which involve measuring voltages on the LVPS/HVPS (low voltage power supply/ high voltage power supply board) should be performed with the printer positioned on its back side.

Note: When making voltage readings, always use frame ground unless another ground is specified. See the wiring diagram in the back of the book for more information.

Controller board service check

FRU Action

Controller board assembly

Warning: Do not replace the operator panel and controller board at the same time. Each card contains the printer settings. When either of these cards is new, it obtains some of the settings from the other card. Settings are lost when both are new and replaced at the same time.

POST (Power-On Self Test) Note: The printer should complete POST in approximately 30 seconds.

If the printer fails to display lights or activate the drive motor, fuser or fan, then check the following order:

1. Power to the LVPS/HVPS

2. Power from the LVPS/HVPS to the controller board

3. Cables are plugged in correctly, especially for the operator panel. The printer will not power-up without a functioning operator panel.

4. The controller board assembly

5. The operator panel, see “Operator panel service check” on page 3-50.

Verify +24 V dc input from the LVPS/HVPS.

1. Turn the printer off.

2. Disconnect the LVPS/HVPS cable from the controller board at J502.

3. Turn the printer on.

4. Verify +24 V dc on positions 6, 17, and 19 of the cable connector (LVPS/HVPS).

5. If voltage is correct, then check the continuity in the other conductors of the cable. If the cable is good, then turn the printer off, and check the connectors to the controller board.

6. Verify that pins 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 on both the cable and the card connector are grounded.

7. If grounds are not correct on the cable, but the cable passes continuity otherwise, then check the LVPS/HVPS.

8. If the grounds are not correct on the controller board, then replace the controller board. (Check with one probe on the connector pin and the other on the card’s ground plane found at each screw head.)

Controller board voltage outputs Turn the printer off, and plug the LVPS/HVPS cable into J502 of the controller board. See

the wiring diagram at the end of the book which identifies the voltages and grounds for a good controller board.

Turn the printer off before plugging or unplugging any connectors.

Controller board service check (Continued)

FRU Action

LVPS/HVPS Verify main power to controller board

With the printer off, unplug the LPS/HVPS cable at J502 on the controller board. Verify grounds on pins 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 for both the cable and the controller board. If any of these grounds are incorrect, then check the cable for continuity. If the cable fails continuity, then call the next level of support.

Turn the printer on with the cable still unplugged, and verify the following on the cable (controller board will not be powered):

Pins Voltage

6, 17, 19 +24 V dc

1, 3-5, 11, 13, 15+5 V dc

If any of the voltages are incorrect, then replace the LVPS/HVPS. See “Dead machine

service check” on page 2-48.

Cooling fan service check

FRU Action

Cooling fan Make sure the fan cable plug is properly seated at J9 (controller board).

Turn the printer on. Within a few seconds, the controller board assembly should apply +24 V dc to pin 2.

• If voltage is not present, then check or replace the controller board. See “Controller

board removal” on page 4-6.

• If voltage is present, then check pin 1 for 24 V dc as well. If it is close to 24 V dc while

the fan is still idle, then replace the fan. See “Fan removal” on page 4-16.

Cover interlock switch service check

Note: Make sure a toner cartridge assembly is installed and the cover closes all the way, engaging the cover open switch lever.

FRU Action

Cover interlock switch Disconnect the cover interlock cable from the controller board at J7.

With the printer turned off, verify continuity between cable pin 1 and pin 2 with the door closed and discontinuity with the door open.

Verify continuity between cable pin 1 and pin 3 with the door open and discontinuity with the door closed.

Verify discontinuity between cable pins 2 and 3 whether the door is open or closed.

• If either fails, then replace the cover interlock switch.

• If both pass continuity, then turn the printer on, and measure +5 V dc on pin 2 at J7 on the controller board.

CAUTION: Check the AC line voltage. The voltage should be within the following limits:

• 100 V ac (volts alternating current): 127 V ac for the 110 V printer

• 200 V ac: 240 V ac for the 220 V printer

FRU Action

Unplug the printer. Remove the LVPS/HVPS, and check the fuses for continuity.

• If open, then replace the LVPS/HVPS.

• If not open, then check the switch continuity across its conductors with the switch on. Turn the switch off. Plug the AC line into the LVPS/HVPS, and switch unit on.

LVPS/HVPS

Note: AC voltages are exposed at several places on the board. Do these verifications, and then unplug the AC cord from the power supply:

• Verify 24 V dc on pins 6, 17, and 19 at CN201.

• Verify approximately 5V on pins 1-5, 11, 13, and 15.

• If voltages are not correct, then replace the LVPS/HVPS.

• If voltages are correct, then check the controller board. See “Controller

board removal” on page 4-6.

Fuser service check

When toner is partially fused to the media, it is usually caused by low fuser temperature.

The line voltage to the printer must be within the following limits:

• 100 V ac: 127 V ac for the 110 V model printer

• 200 V ac: 240 V ac for the 220 V model printer

This printer uses a belt fuser and therefore does not have a lamp.

Fuser service check

FRU Action

Unplug the printer, and disconnect the fuser cable plug from the LVPS/HVPS board connector at CN102.

Check for continuity across the fuser by checking across the connector pins.

• If there is continuity, then check the LVPS/HVPS. See “LVPS/HVPS service check”

Media skews

FRU Action

Paper feed (pick tires) tray 1 Paper feed (pick tires) tray 2 Tray 1 Tray 2 (option)

Check tires for debris. If tires are new, then try reversing each on its hub.

Check side guides on Tray 1 and Tray 2. Guides set for a full stack of media may be too wide when the stack is short.

Media “trees,” wrinkles, stacks poorly, or curls

FRU Action

Fuser This problem is most likely due to a worn backup roll. It causes the printer to run hotter than

required for the media being printed. Excessive heat can cause media treeing problems, poor stacking, or curl.

Print the menu sheet (press and release with the printer in ready mode). Look at the media settings. Some, such as card stock or rough texture, may require a

higher fuser temperature, which leads to more of these problems (except stacking) in plain paper.

• Change settings using the printer driver.

• Use the local printer setup utility (included on the CD) to change the NVRAM settings.

Try a different ream of paper. Moist media has a higher tendency to crease (treeing) and curl.

Parallel or USB port service check

1. Perform a print test to make sure the printer prints correctly. Verify is on, then press to print menu

settings.

2. Be sure the printer parallel cable is designed for bidirectional printing.

3. Be sure the user’s application is set up correctly.

4. If the internal print test page prints correctly, then the user’s application/printer driver is set up correctly,

and the correct bidirectional parallel cable is installed, but the printer still fails to print on command from the host computer, replace the controller board.

5. Check the USB cable for continuity.

Print quality service checks

Note: Ensure the cover closes tightly. A gap in the opening may allow light to expose the photoconductor, resulting in a ‘dirty’ print. Extreme environmental conditions, temperatures, and humidity will affect the print quality.

Using print quality test pages

To help isolate print quality problems, like streaking, print test pages using the print quality test pages. To print the print quality test pages:

1. Enter Configuration Menu. a. Turn off the printer. b. Open the front access door. c. Turn on the printer while pressing and holding . d. When the light stays on, close cover. e. Wait (approximately 10 seconds).

2. Press and release three times until the and lights come on.

3. Press and hold until all the lights flash to initiate printing the quality test pages.

Four pages print to help evaluate print quality. The first page has various fonts and a graphic, the second page is gray with graphics, the third page is black, and the last page is blank. Once the media exits into the output bin, the printer returns to the home state (four top lights on).

4. Use the test pages to isolate problems such as light or toner streaks. See “POST symptom table” on

page 2-44 for solutions to these problems.

To exit print quality test pages, turn the printer off.

Note: Refer to the print defects guide at the end of the manual for repeating defects.

Printhead LVPS/HVPS Controller board

Remove the toner cartridge, and gently shake it to evenly distribute the toner. Check for cartridge damage.

Blank pages can be caused by a defective printhead assembly, LVPS/HVPS, or controller board.

• Printhead errors typically result in printer service errors unless there is blockage of the beam or dust on the lens. Check the lens and opening for blockage.

• Blank pages typically are caused by the PC roll not being properly charged. Try a different PC kit.

• With the cartridge out, check the spring loaded contacts on the right side for free motion. None should be ground except for #4 contact from the front.

Unplug the printer, and check the cable continuity between the LVPS/HVPS connector marked OPC (at CN202) and the corresponding wire form (spring) found about 14 mm above and to the right of the transfer roll gear.

• If there is no continuity, then call the next level of service.

Try a different toner cartridge and PC kit.

• If those fail, then replace the LVPS/HVPS, controller board, or the printhead in that order.

Adjustment procedures

Printhead assembly mechanical adjustment

Note: The printhead must be aligned electronically. To align the printhead electronically, call the next level of

support.

A printhead needs to be correctly positioned after it has been removed. Use a pencil to mark the screw locations of the old printhead on the metal frame. Align the new printhead relative to the location of the old printhead.

Skew is caused by a sheet being fed through the printer while misaligned. The entire image is rotated relative to the sheet edges. However, a mechanically misaligned printhead causes the horizontal lines to appear skewed while the vertical lines remain parallel to the vertical edges.There are no adjustments for skew. Check the pick roll (paper pick assembly) for wear, the paper path for obstructions, the fuser for proper setting, and the tray paper guides for fit to the media.

To adjust the printhead:

1. Enter the Diagnostics Menu. See “Diagnostics mode selections” on page 3-8.

2. Press and release to go to Cont Prt Simplex Tray 1 ( is on).

3. Press and hold to print the first Cont Prt Simplex Tray 1 test page. Press immediately after the

paper picks to avoid printing more pages.

4. Fold the printed test page on the left side so that a few millimeters of grid lines wrap around the outside of

the fold. See photo below.

5. Fold a second vertical fold near the center so that the left side top edge aligns with the right side top edge.

6. If the grid lines of the right flap align below the corresponding lines on the left flap, then adjust the printhead

clockwise relative to the printer and recheck. (See the left side of the figure below.) If the grid lines of the left flap align below the corresponding lines of the right side, then adjust the printhead counterclockwise. (See the right side of the figure below.)

7. After obtaining a properly adjusted image on the paper, tighten all three screws.

4. Repair information

Warning: Read the following before handling electronic parts.

Handling ESD-sensitive parts

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 logic cards:

• Keep the ESD-sensitive part in its original shipping container (a special “ESD bag”) until the

part is ready to be installed into the printer.

• Make the least-possible body movements 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 point. This

discharges any static electricity in your body to the printer.

• Hold the ESD-sensitive part by its edge connector shroud (cover); do not touch its pins. If a

pluggable module is being removed, then use the correct tool.

• Do not place the ESD-sensitive part on the MFP cover or on a metal table; if the ESD-

sensitive part needs to be put down for any reason, then first put it into its special bag.

• Machine covers and metal tables are electrical grounds. They increase 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-sensitive parts from being accidentally touched by other personnel. Install

machine covers when the machine is not being worked on, and do not put unprotected ESDsensitive parts on a table.

• If possible, keep all ESD-sensitive parts in a grounded metal cabinet (case).

• Be extra careful in working with ESD-sensitive parts when cold-weather heating is used,

because low humidity increases static electricity.

Removal procedures

Note:

• Remove the toner cartridge and media tray before removing other printer parts. The toner cartridge should

be protected from light while out of the printer.

• Disconnect all external cables from the printer to prevent damage during service.

• Unless otherwise stated, reinstall the parts in reverse order of removal.

• When reinstalling a part held with several screws, start all screws before final tightening.

• Remove the paper tray and print cartridge before proceeding with a removal.

ACM pick tire roller removal

1. Place the printer on its side.

Note: Be careful to not mar the finish of the printer.

2. Open the duplex jam door just far enough to pull out the ACM pick tires.

Warning: Open the duplex door only far enough to remove the ACM pick tires. If the door is opened too far,

then it can become disengaged and interfere with the paper tray. The tray may go in but will not come out, and will render the printer as non-serviceable.

3. After the ACM pick tires have been pulled out, close the duplex door.

Repair information 4-3

4. Remove the ACM pick tire roller (A).

Note:

• If the left hub is gray, then disconnect the old right and left tire/hub assemblies from the ACM, and replace

with the new right and left tire/hub assemblies.

• If the left hub is black, then remove the old right and left tires from the ACM hubs, and replace with the new

tires. Do not attempt to remove the hubs.
