Recommended Monthly Page Volume is a range of pages that helps customers evaluate Lexmarks
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

This new feature will improve our customers experience by

The printer will attempt to automatically move undamaged
media to the output bin that would have otherwise been

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 cant replace the
individual tires anymore.

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.
Theres 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.

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.

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:

Non-Lexmark [supply], see Users Guide

[33.xy]

In this case, the control panel will instruct the User to refer to the Troubleshooting Section of the Users
Guide for instructions on how to proceed.
The Users 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 Users 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 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:

A4 vs. Letter Media and Fuser


Media Size

Fuser Media Size

Letter

A4 Fuser

Behavior

Compress image (default setting)


- Compresses the image by 3% horizontally

Clip Image (optional)


- Clips the image outside of an 8.27 area*

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 printers 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.

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.

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

setting can be reset to zero by MPS or by the Embedded Web
Page.

Embedded Web Server

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.

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.

When Should Safe Mode be Enabled?


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.

Control Panel
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 hasnt 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.

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.

Mirrored NVRAM Components


Controller Board
Control Panel
Service Tips:
If you must use one the components listed above as a method of troubleshooting, boot the printer into Diagnostic
mode only; this will prevent NVRAM from copying to the new component.
If the printer is allowed to boot normally NVRAM will copy to the new component and it cannot be used in another
printer. It must be returned to the manufacturer.

Warning! Observe all ESD precautions while handling electronic parts.


Warning! When replacing multiple NVRAM components replace ONE component at a time NEVER
replace both at once.
If the Control Panel and the controller board are being replaced at the same time, replace the parts in this
order to avoid damage to the machine:
1. Replace the controller board first.
Note: Do not replace the new control panel and controller board at the same time!
2. After installing the new controller board, and before installing the new control panel, start the
printer into Diagnostics mode.
3. After the printer has completed startup, turn off the printer and replace the control panel.
Note: If the Control Panel display failed, the printers startup cycle is complete when the
driver motor and fans shut down, and the machine is quiet.
4. After installing the new control panel, start the printer into Diagnostics mode, and allow the
printer to go through a complete startup cycle and the display to go to Ready.
5. If the problems persist, leave the new Control Panel in the machine, place the old controller
board back in the machine, and start it up. After the machine startup, shut down the machine,
and install the new controller board. After installing the new controller board, restart the
machine, and let it go through the startup cycle.

ADF Skew Adjustment


In case the ADF needs adjustment to correct skew, several procedures are documented in the service
manual to make this correction. They are:

ADF skew adjustment (front side)

ADF skew adjustment (back side)

ADF skew adjustment (deskew roller)

Media squareness check
