¹ Recommended Monthly Page Volume is a range of pages that helps customers evaluate Lexmark’s product offerings based on the average number of pages customers plan to print on the device each month. Lexmark recommends that the number of pages per month be within the stated range for optimum device performance, based on factors including: supplies replacement intervals, paper loading intervals, speed, and typical customer usage.
² Maximum Monthly Duty Cycle is defined as the maximum number of pages a device could deliver in a month using a multi-shift operation. This metric provides a comparison of robustness in relation to other Lexmark printers and MFPs.

Notes: The Claim Values above specifies the maximum throughput, in Pages Per Minute (PPM), based on resolution and media size. For media sizes smaller than A4 and Letter, throughput is reduced to protect the printer from thermal damage. Speeds values can be up to and as fast as the rated speeds above.

Media Options: MS71x/MS81x
Terminology Change: What used to be Drawers are now called Trays. What used to be
Trays are now Tray Inserts.
Tray Inserts are now offered as an option so that customers with space and/or budget
constraints can afford getting an additional paper tray (insert) to hold alternate media.
The MS71x and MS81x Paper Handling and Furniture Options are not downwards
compatible.
All media and furniture options for other current and legacy printers (T65x, T64x, etc.) are not
compatible with the MS710 and MS810 Series.
Most media sizes can be fed via the standard and optional input trays, so the following input
options are no longer offered: Envelope Feeder, Special Media Trays (SPMTs) and Universally Adjustable Trays (UATs). For challenging media, a special separator roller may be available by special request only.
The Duplex Unit is no longer offered as an external option.
The authoritative tables of maximum Printer Paper Options/Furniture combinations are publicly available at www.lexmark.com/multifunctionprinters.

Media Options: MX71x/MX81x
Terminology Change: What used to be Drawers are now called Trays. What used to be
Trays are now Tray Inserts.
Tray Inserts are now offered as an option so that customers with space and/or budget
constraints can afford getting an additional paper tray (insert) to hold alternate media.
The MX71x MFPs do not support Output Options.  The MX81x comes with a Caster Base so there are no furniture options for this product.  The MX81x and MX71x Input options are not compatible due to the difference in footprint of
the machines.
All media and furniture options for other current and legacy printers (X65x, X64x, etc.) are not
compatible with the MX710 and MX810 Series.
The authoritative tables of maximum Printer Paper Options/Furniture combinations are publicly available at www.lexmark.com/multifunctionprinters.

EP Step
Function
Charge
During the charge step, voltage is sent from the HVPS to the charge roll beside the photoconductor. The charge roll applies a uniform negative charge over the entire surface of the photoconductor to prepare it for the laser beam.
Expose
The laser fires a focused beam of light at the surface of the photoconductor and writes an invisible image, called a latent image. The laser beam only discharges the surface where the beam hits the photoconductor. This creates a difference in charge potential between the exposed area and the rest of the photoconductor surface.
Develop
Once the laser exposes the photoconductor, the HVPS sends charge to the developer roll. Because of the charge difference between the toner on the developer roller and the electrostatic image created by the laser, the toner is attracted to areas of the photoconductor surface exposed by the laser.
Transfer
As the paper travels between the transfer roll and the photoconductor, the transfer roll applies a positive charge to the back of the media. This positive charge attracts the negatively charged toner image from the photoconductor to the top surface of the media.
Fuse
The paper – now with a “toned” image – moves through the fuser assembly. Using temperature and pressure, it marries toner to paper.
Clean/Erase
The cleaning blade removes any toner that remains on the photoconductor after the transfer process. The toner removed is collected in the imaging unit.
Theory of Operation
Electrophotographic (EP) Process
The developed image in the printer is transferred directly to the print medium. A roller carries the medium from the paper sources at the machine bottom, against the EP cartridges, and up to the fuser at the machine top. The transfer rolls are biased with high voltages to attract the toner to the print medium. The transfer applies an adequate charge to the medium to provide an electrostatic charge hold down force that holds the medium in a fixed location on the belt. A cleaning blade with a backup roll scrapes toner from the transport belt into a waste sump. Critical parameters for the EP process are the resistivity of the transfer roll coat and the normal force against the photoconductive drum. The drive roll diameter is set such that one drive revolution moves the transport belt the distance between transfer rolls for improved image registration.
The list of the main component of the EP process is described below.
If a component fails, it is important to recognize at which step the failure took place. By knowing this, you can determine the source of the problem. Understanding the EP Process is the key to troubleshooting print quality problems.

New Features: MS71x/MS81x & MX71x/MX81x
Flushing
This new feature will improve our customer’s experience by
minimizing user interventions when getting paper jams.
The printer will attempt to automatically move undamaged
media to the output bin that would have otherwise been jammed inside the printer, and will automatically resume printing.
This feature is enabled by default. To disable, go to:
General Settings > Print Recovery > Jam Assist >
OFF/ON
Jam Avoidance
With the implementation of a Trailing Edge (TE) sensor and
new code algorithms, instances of getting “soft” jams and jams caused by gap closure can be reduced.
The printer will now have the ability to hold off future picks:
- until it detects a gap between sheets
- until the previous sheet is past input sensor
- if the previous page is measured to be of
unexpected length
New Pick Arm Assembly Design
It is now a CRU maintenance item.
The two rollers are not identical in size compared to the T
series printers.
The parts are replaced as an assembly – can’t replace the
individual tires anymore.

Key Updates: MS71x/MS81x & MX71x/MX81x
Separator Roller Assembly
This is a CRU maintenance item replacing the tray wear
strips (aka dimple dams).
A unique separator roll may be offered for challenging
media types via SPR.
Media is Reference Edge Fed
For the said printer models, the tray insert uses the lift plate
mechanism to elevate the media during paper transport.
The wear strips (aka dimple dams) is replaced with a new
FRU part called the separator roll assembly which is part of the Maintenance Kit.
Media should be fed straight in - no longer slanted.
Input Tray Supports Envelopes and other media sizes*
Envelope and Universal Tray input options are no longer
supported for this printer series.
Input trays support almost all type of media.
*The MS71x DOES NOT support Envelopes – an Envelope option is not in the menus.
2-Step Tray Insert Removal
Re-designed for user convenience. There’s no need to completely remove the Tray Insert out
to load media.

Notes:
When Jam Assist is set to ON, once a jammed page has been cleared the printer flushes
blank pages or pages with partial prints to the standard bin. Check your printed output for blank pages.
When Jam Recovery is set to ON or Auto, the printer reprints jammed pages. The Auto
setting, however, only reprints jammed pages if adequate printer memory is available.

How to Change Supply Life Messaging Settings
1. Access the printer’s Embedded Web Server (EWS).
2. Click Settings > Print Settings > Supply Notifications.
3. Change the settings as desired.
Adjustable Supplies Alert Options
Notes:
If a user selects a value outside of these acceptable ranges, it will revert back to the default
setting.
If a user has changed the setting and then installs a new supply, the same user setting will
"stick" as long as the setting is still valid for the new supply.
If a user has selected a value that is valid for the supply installed, but then changes to a
different supply that the selection is no longer valid, it will revert back to the default setting. (e.g. user selected Low = 3% for 45K cartridge, and then later installs a 6K cartridge, the Low setting will revert back to 10%)
If the user has not changed the setting from the default value, any new supplies installed will
always use the default values for the supply that is installed.

Non-Lexmark [supply], see User’s Guide [33.xy]
Detection of Non-Genuine Supplies
When the printer senses that the Imaging Unit, Toner Cartridge or Fuser is not a genuine Lexmark part, the printer will post this error message:
In this case, the control panel will instruct the User to refer to the Troubleshooting Section of the User’s Guide for instructions on how to proceed.
The User’s Guide documents warnings about using non-genuine supplies. If the customer wishes to accept the risks of non-genuine supply they may document this acceptance by pressing the “OK” and “X” keys simultaneously for 15 seconds. In response, the printer will continue and mark a flag in NVRAM that the customer acceptance has occurred. In addition the bottom of the Device Statistics page will denote that the customer has accepted the non-genuine supply.
The following is the message that will appear on the Device Statistics page:
If the customer acceptance flag is marked, YYY.xx errors will include an “n” at the end for the error
number string. (e.g., 202.05N) The customer may decide they do not want to accept the risks associated with using non-genuine
Lexmark supplies or devices. This is done by the customer not pressing the “yes, continue” sequence as described above and the User’s Guide. But instead, the customer is to remove the non-genuine Lexmark supply or device and replace it with a genuine Lexmark supply or device.

Fuser Maintenance Kit
As soon as the fuser rated life is reached, the printer will come to a hard stop and will only work once the fuser maintenance kit is replaced. When the kit is replaced, there is no need to reset the maintenance counter like the previous models since the counter is stored in the fuser smart chip.
Roller Kit
In the event that a fuser is replaced before it reaches its rated life due to some sort of failure, a
roller kit maintenance message will display at 300,000 page intervals. The purpose of this is to make sure that the transfer, pick and separator rollers are replaced.
The roller kit counter can be reset through the Configuration Menu under Reset Roller Kit Counter.

Fuser Types
There are many Fuser Types identified by a unique Fuser Type code (see the section in this guide called How to Determine the Correct Fuser Part Number). It is critical that the correct fuser is identified and replaced in the machine. It is important to note that Hot Roll and Belt Fusers ARE NOT interchangeable. If a customer chooses a Hot Roll printer type, they cannot convert it to a Belt Fuser machine and vice versa.
The different fusers are based on the following variables:
Printer Model Voltage (100V, 110-120V, 220-240V)  Media Size (A4 vs. Letter – applies to Belt Fusers only)  Hot Roll or Belt Return Program or Regular
The Belt Fusers come in both A4 and Letter sizes to prevent damage to the fuser. Although either fuser can print on both Letter and A4, running large amounts of the alternate size media can damage the fuser. The printer will recognize if A4 is printed on a Letter fuser (and vice versa) and try to compensate to minimize the risk of damage. The behavior is as follows:

License Type: If the fuser has a Return license type that means the customer is under licensed agreement to return the fuser
once it is replaced. If the customer does not wish to accept this license agreement, unlicensed Fusers are available by contacting Lexmark.
Note: The MS71x models have a Hot Roll Fuser similar to previous generations of workgroup mono products. Note: The MS81x, MX71x and MX81x models have a Belt Fuser Only.
Below is a list of Hot Roll (HR) and Belt Fuser types. For the most current list of fuser Types and part numbers, always refer to the printer’s Service Manual.

How to Determine the Correct Fuser Part Number
There are a number of fuser part numbers for this printer series, so it is essential to know how to determine which one to recommend when a replacement is needed.
To determine the correct fuser part number, look for the fuser type (2-digit numeric code) information on the fuser assembly or in the printer’s Device Information page.
How to Check the Fuser Type
Checking the Fuser Type from the Front of the Printer
1. Lift the Front Cover and pull down the Multipurpose Feeder Door.
2. Remove the Toner Cartridge and Imaging Unit.
3. Locate the gap at the EP Frame to see the Fuser Type.
Page 81
81
Checking the Fuser Type from the Rear of The Printer
1. Remove the Upper Rear Door.
2. Pull down the Redrive Assembly.
3. Locate the label between the left and right thumb screws.
4. Capture the Fuser Type.
Page 82

Checking the Fuser Type through the Menu Settings Page
1. Print the Menu Settings Pages.
2. Locate the Device Information section in the Menu Settings Pages.
3. Under Device Information, locate Fuser Type.

Hardware Ship and Store
The new MS and MX series printers have significant hardware and functionality changes from previous models. Below is an overview of these changes.
Cartridge Shutter/Plunger
The Toner Cartridge has a built-in shutter that closes when the Access Cover is opened. The Cartridge shutter is opened by the Access Cover Plunger when the Access Cover is closed. The printer is shipped from the factory with the Access Cover Plunger in the downward position.
Development recommends removing the cartridge and imaging unit for normal ship and storage needs.
For cases when supplies need to remain in machine, leave the plunger engaged. Testing has shown that shipping or moving these models with all or some of the supplies does not cause any significant leaks. The port and seal designs are very robust.
If the plunger is put into the ‘ship’ position without proper packaging, there is HIGH RISK that a
user may simply turn on the printer and start printing – resulting in a 31.46 or 31.66 replenishing error or potential damage to the cartridge.
The most robust process is to put the plunger into the ‘ship’ state, but you MUST repackage the imaging unit (and cover the input sensor) to ensure that the front door is opened the next time the printer is turned on.
Belt Fuser (MS810, MX710, MX810 Series)
Before shipping or storing, press the sleep button and wait until the control panel turns OFF before powering down. This will allow time for the belt fuser nip mechanism to open. Belt fuser CRUs are shipped with the nip open.
Hot Roll Fuser (MS710 Series)
After the device is turned OFF, lift the upper door, remove the cartridge and imaging unit then slide the fuser saver (‘wedge’) into the fuser nip per the included instructions.
Hot roll fuser CRUs are shipped with rear wedges that open the nip to prevents a flat spot on the fuser
rolls from sitting for a period of time. The wedge needs to be removed before installing.

Embedded Web Server Auto Reboot Counter
Embedded Web Server
The number of reboots encountered over the lifetime of the printer. This setting is to be used as diagnostic data. This setting can be reset to zero by MPS or by the Embedded Web Page.
Auto Reboot – Error Recovery
The goal of allowing the printer to auto-reboot when a catastrophic error occurs is to decrease customer interventions and increase printer up-time. The types of errors that could auto reboot include:
91y.xx Engine Firmware Errors  976.xx Network Firmware Errors  900.xx RIP Firmware Errors
Note: Be aware that not all of the Engine Firmware Errors will allow an auto-reboot. The engine will inform the Controller Board if an Auto Reboot is allowed for the particular error.
Auto Reboot (Error Recovery) configuration and settings are shown in the following table:
If a printer crashes but does not auto reboot, the traditional error screen displays on the
control panel listing the error information.
When a re-bootable crash occurs, the printer shows the traditional error screen with an
additional message that informs the user the printer will reboot. The Error screen displays while the printer gathers debug information and writes it to flash (about 10 seconds). Once the debug collection has occurs, the printer will reboot.
After rebooting, a message will be present informing the user the printer rebooted. The user
must clear this error in order to continue using the printer. While this message is present, the
printer is off-line and will not accept print jobs. See the images on the following page.

Problem Example
Hypothetical Customer Situation
Enable Safe Mode? – Why/Why Not?
23y.xx Jams on Power-up – Duplex sensor broken
Customer has a deadline to complete an important print job before the end of the day – Service cannot be dispatched until tomorrow.
YES. The customer has a critical need to
continue printing. Safe Mode will disable the duplex and allow the customer to continue to print at reduced functionality.
200.xx Jams on Power-up – Tray 1 Input sensor broken
Customer needs to complete a print job to send to a publisher by the end of the day. They only have 5 more pages left to print from the job. Service will not be out until tomorrow.
NO. The customer has a critical need to
continue printing; however, Safe Mode will not disable Tray 1. For this printer, Safe Mode
ignores all Input Options: Tray 2, Tray 3, etc. but Tray 1 functionality remains enabled.
242.xx Jams on Power-up – Tray 2 Input sensor broken
The customer is printing PowerPoint handouts for a meeting next week. They only had a few pages left to print.
NO. The customer does not have a critical
need to continue printing.
Safe Mode
Safe Mode is a new and configurable state in the device that allows print operations to be used even if a non-critical subsystem failure occurs. When configured in Safe Mode, the device operates in a minimal/base function state for print operations, permitting a customer to continue printing until service can be arranged to repair the device.
Warning! Safe Mode is intended as a shortterm workaround and should only be used when a critical print job must be completed before service can be arranged to repair the printer. In most customer situations, it would NOT be appropriate to enable this mode. See the table below called When Should Safe Mode be Enabled? for examples.
Warning! The printer must be returned to standard operating mode before diagnostics can be run or fullfunction printing can continue. This is IMPORTANT! If a customer reports problems with no duplex capability and/or the inability to select optional input trays, etc., check to see if Safe Mode is enabled – a warning message will display on the Control Panel.
When Safe Mode is enabled, print jobs are processed based on the product-specific behavior of the print engine as defined for that mode of operation. Certain service failures and other errors are suppressed when the device is in this mode so the device is left in a temporary usable state.
When Safe Mode is disabled, if any service failure or other error occurs, the device will follow existing messaging behavior and the print operation will be terminated. The device may also shut down due to certain failures based on existing definitions.

The Control Panel houses NVRAM in the printer. When it is replaced, special precautions need to be taken to ensure data is not lost. See the section on Mirrored NVRAM Components in this Guide.
Controller Board
The Controller Board houses NVRAM in the printer. When it is replaced, special precautions need to be taken to ensure data is not lost. See the section on Mirrored NVRAM Components in this Guide.
In addition, the Controller Board contains the default and custom eSF applications and settings. These are NOT contained in the NVRAM or on a hard drive. A Controller Board failure could result in loss of these applications and their settings if they are not backed up. When a new Controller Board is installed, the Lexmark default eSF applications and settings are loaded.
The best practice is for an administrator to have their eSF applications and settings backed up prior to
encountering a problem. In case this hasn’t been done, an attempt to back up the data should be
performed before replacing the Controller Board.
To back up the eSF applications and settings, do the following:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold 3, 4 and 6 to boot into Invalid Engine Code mode..
3. Turn on the printer.
4. Release the buttons when the splash screen appears.
5. Access the printer's Web Page from a web browser.
6. Click on Settings:

7. Click on Solutions (don’t click Import/Export – the explanation is at the end)
8. Click on Embedded Solutions

9. Select each application individually by clicking on the name (we’ll use Forms and Favorites in this example):
10. Click on Export to create a file of that application’s settings

STOP
11. If the Web page cannot be accessed, or an error persists despite trying to boot in Invalid Engine code mode, then there is no way to backup the eSF apps. Make the customer aware of this.
12. Don’t Use the “Global” Import/Export method to back up the eSF applications and settings. There is a size limit of 128kb on the export file.
13. Customers with a large number of applications or settings may exceed the file size limit and have information truncated in the exported file.
14. Once the new Controller Board is installed, follow the same steps as above, however, you will
Import (instead of export) the <filename>.UCF file for each application.
Laser Printhead
Whenever the Printhead is replaced, you need to do a mechanical registration adjustment. This adjustment is performed from Diagnostics menu under Registration and requires a physical adjustment of the Printhead based on the Quick Test pages that prints. See the Service Manual for complete information.
Media Aligner Roller
When the Media Aligner Roller is replaced in the printer, the Media aligner roller adjustment should be performed. ALWAYS print a copy of the Quick Test Page before making any adjustments to the media aligner roller reference adjustment screw. When replacing the media aligner roller, it is necessary to back the reference adjustment screw out far enough to remove the old assembly and install the new one. See the Service Manual for complete information.

Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) Connectors
Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) connectors are used in the various boards and cards of these printers. Before inserting or removing a cable from these connectors, read this entire section carefully to avoid damaging the connector or cable.
Warning! Do not insert the cable so the contacts are facing the locking actuator. The contacts always
face away from the actuator.
Warning! Do not insert the cable diagonally into the ZIF socket. This may damage the contacts. Warning! Avoid using a fingernail, or sharp object to open the locking mechanism. This may damage
the cable.
Warning! Avoid pressing against the cable when opening the locking mechanism. This may damage
the cable. These are the types of ZIF connectors used in these printers:
Horizontal top contact connector  Horizontal bottom contact connector  Vertical mount contact connector  Horizontal sliding connector
Horizontal Top Contact Connector
The horizontal top contact connector uses a back flip locking actuator to lock the ribbon cable into the ZIF connector. Insert the cable horizontally into the connector.
Warning! When opening or closing this type of actuator, gently lift or close the two tabs located on each end of the actuator. The two tabs should be moved simultaneously. Do not close the actuator from the center of the actuator.
How to Remove a Cable from the Horizontal Top Contact Connector
1. Place a finger at each end of the locking actuator, and then gently lift the actuator to the unlocked position.
2. Slide the cable out of the connector.

How to Insert a Cable into the Horizontal Top Contact Connector
1. When installing the cable, check the locking actuator to ensure it is in the unlocked position. The tabs on the ends of the actuator are vertical when the actuator is unlocked.
2. Insert the cable with the contacts on the cable facing up. Insert the cable on top of the actuator.
Note: Verify that the cable is installed squarely into the connector. If the cable is not squarely installed, then intermittent failures could occur.
3. Rotate the locking actuator to the locked position. The cable should not move while this step is performed. If the cable moves, open the actuator, reposition the cable, and then close the actuator to the down position.
