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.

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.

Paper Transport System Enhancements and Changes Base Engine Features and Updates: MS71x/MS81x & MX71x/MX81x
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.
Lexmark MS71x/MS81x & MX71x/MX81x Product Study Guide Rev 1.3
For Training Purposes Only 11/19/2012 38
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.

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:
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 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 Behavior
Letter A4 Fuser
Compress image (default setting)
Compresses the image by 3% horizontally
Clip Image (optional)
Clips the image outside of an 8.27” area*
Configurable in the Configuration Menu under A4 Fuser Menu
*The A4 fuser cannot fuse the entire right side of any print job that uses media wider than 8.27”

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.

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.

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:
Function Configurable In: Settings
Auto Reboot Mode
Customer Menus (UI)
Sets the printer to restart when an error is encountered.
Reboot when idle – for firmware errors if not printing, faxing, or scanning. Hardware related errors will still halt and display service error screen.
Reboot always (default) –auto-reboot for firmware errors even if printing, faxing, or scanning.
Reboot never – always halt and display the service error screen for firmware errors.
Embedded Web Server
Max Auto Reboots
Customer menus (UI)
Sets the number of automatic restarts the printer can perform per incidence 1-20.
2 is the factory default setting.
When the number of max automatic restarts is reached, the printer displays the applicable error instead of restarting.
Note: A clean power cycle or hibernation will reset the reboot count.
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.
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 short‑term 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
full‑function 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.

Restore Point Restore point is a new functionality similar to a PC’s operating system restore. In the event that a new firmware update causes problems in the printer, the administrator or customer can roll the printer back to a previous state. All code is restored (RIP, Engine, etc.). If restore point is used, you can “undo” the restore by holding the POR key sequence again.
Available on: POR Sequence Description
4.3”and above Touchscreen Code level of EC1 and higher
To go to the Restore Point, do the following:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold 7 and 8.
3. Turn on the printer.
4. Release the buttons when the splash screen appears.
Important Information:
Subsequent POR's boot to this restore point.
If new code is flashed, that new code becomes the boot point.
Only 1 restore point is kept.
If no code updates have occurred since the machine was built, there is no restore point and the key sequence is ignored.
Only available on eTask machines.

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 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:

For Training Purposes Only 11/19/2012 98
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.

Mirrored NVRAM Components
Controller Board
Control Panel
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
Print skew correction
Copy skew correction
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.
