General Information8
This manual is used to service the Lexmark Medley 4012. Medley is
a multifunction product which can connect to an IBM-compatible personal computer. It acts as an all-in-one color-capable printer, G3 fax
machine, scanner, and convenience copier. It will send and receive
faxes, scan documents, print from the PC, and make convenience
copies. It uses 300 x 300 pels per inch inkjet technology for high
quality text and graphics. Print Quality Enhancement Technology
(PQET) smooths the edges of lines and characters.
Medley uses the same black or color print cartridges as the IBM
ExecJet II and ExecJet IIc by Lexmark.
Medley uses a 300 x 300 dpi scanner for fast, high quality scanning,
personal copying, and faxing. Scanning software for the PC is
included with the Medley.
There are three models: Medley 4c (4012-005) which does not
include a handset, Medley 4x (4012-006) which does include a
handset, and the Medley 4sx (4012-009) which is the same as the
4x but is shipped standard with the battery backup. Other than in the
Parts Catalog, there are no service differences.
All models can handle a variety of paper sizes as well as envelopes
and other media using an integrated automatic sheet feed and manual feed.
The machine contains the following circuit boards:
• Fax Board—controls the scanner and most of the machine’s
functions
• Printer Board—runs the printer motors, sensors, and printhead
• Line Connect Unit (LCU) Board—printer parallel port and tele-
phone connections
• Operator Panel Board

Options
The following options are available. Contact your point of purchase
for options available in your country.
• 1MB Memory Expansion
• 3MB Memory Expansion
• Battery Backup (standard on Medley 4sx)
Maintenance Approach
The diagnostic information in this manual leads you to the correct
field replaceable unit (FRU) or part. Use the error code charts,
symptom table, service checks, and diagnostic aids to determine the
symptom and repair the failure.
Medley can be serviced without being connected to a host computer.
After you complete the repair, perform tests as needed to verify the
repair.

Handling ESD-Sensitive Parts
Many electronic products use par ts 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 boards:
• Keep the ESD-sensitive part in its original shipping container (a
special “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 point. This discharges any static electricity in
your body 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 covers and metal tables are electrical grounds. They
increase the ri sk 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 you are not working on the machine, and do not put unprotected ESD-sensitive
parts on a table.
• If possible, keep all ESD-sensitive parts in a grounded metal cab-
inet (case).
• Be extra careful in working with ESD-sensitive parts when cold-
weather heating is used because low humidity increases static
electricity.

Preventive Maintenance10
Following these recommendations can help prevent problems and
maintain optimum performance.
Lubrication Specifications
Lubricate only when parts are replaced or as needed, not on a
scheduled basis.
Warning: Petroleum-basedgreases can attack polycarbonate parts
causing premature failure. Use only mineral oil-based grease.
Use a mineral oil-based grease to lubricate the following:
• All gear mounting studs
• Right end of the exit roller at the right side frame
• Right end of the small feed roller at the right side frame
• Left end of the large feed roller at the left side frame
• Both ends of the ASF pick roll shaft at the ASF side frames
• Transport belt idler pulley hole
• Inside surface of the transport idler pulley tension wedge where it
touches the left side frame.
Do not lubricate the carrier guide rod or carrier guide rod bearings.

Scanner Cleaning Procedure
The scanner restraint pad and paper feed rollers should be cleaned
when necessary to avoid feed problems.
1. Clean the pad with isopropyl alcohol, wiping downward in the
paper movement direction.
2. Clean the three paper feed rollers using isopropyl alcohol.
Turn the gear train with your thumb to clean the entire surface of
the rollers.
3. Wipe paper dust, ink, or foreign material off the scanner white
reference strip inside the front frame with a clean cloth. If necessary, use isopropyl alcohol.
The scanner lenses and mirrors do not normally require cleaning; the microcode compensates for dust on the optical surfaces.
If, however, these surfaces become unusually dirty or the
scanned image becomes fuzzy, remove the scanner and clean
the mirrors and lenses with isopropyl alcohol.
Caution: Do not hold the scanner by the mirrors or supports. If
the supports are bent it can change alignment in the scanner.
Hold the scanner by the plastic.
55
Note: Do not disassemble any optical components of the scan-
ner.
