1. General Information
The Lexmark X73 machine is an electro-mechanical scanner,
printer, and copier that creates characters and graphics by
composing programmed patterns of ink dots using a printhead and
liquid ink. The printhead uses small heater plates and nozzles to
control ink flow and the formation of characters on the print media.
The printhead assembly and ink supply are combined into a single-
unit, print cartridge available as a customer replaceable supply item.
Dual printheads provide color and true black printing without
changing printheads. The number and size of inkjets or nozzles, in
the printhead, determines the overall quality and capability of the
printer. The black cartridge has a total of 208 nozzles and installs on
the right. The color cartridge has a total of 192 nozzles and installs
on the left. The printer is capable of printing in two directions from
either cartridge.
Power Consumption
• <6 Watts - power off and power to the printer
• 8 Watts - Idle Mode (power on - not printing)
• 21 Watts - Printing (average)
• 31 Watts - Printing (peak)

System Board
Check the transport carrier motor connector J4. If
connected, check for approximately 28 volts on
pins 1 and 2 or at the wire connections located on
the rear of the transport carrier motor. If voltage is
incorrect, replace the system board. If voltage is
correct, check the motor for shorts.
Carrier Transport
Motor
Carrier Transport
Motor
Check the motor for binds, or loose motor pulley.
A noisy or chattering motor or a motor that fails to
turn can be caused by:
• An open or short in the motor.
• An open or short in the motor driver
on the system board.
• A bind in the carrier transport
mechanism.
With the carrier transport motor cable (J4)
to 10 ohms between the following pins on the
motor:
J4-1 and J4-2

CCD Module Assembly
If CCD module will not move, go to
the “Gear Train Assembly Service
Check” on page 2-9.
Note: If the printer is not
connected to the PC and
Lexmark Scan and Copy Control
program is not opened, the CCP
lamp will not come on.
If lamp does not come on as CCD
module assembly is scanning or
moving, check connector (J7) on the
system board. If connected and the
lamp still does not work, replace the
CCD module assembly. If the lamp
does not correct the problem after
the CCD replacement, replace the
system board. See “System Board
Removal” on page 4-12 for more
information.
To unlock scanner, press the red
lever down. The lever is located by
the USB plug on the rear of the

Gear Train Assembly
Disconnect J5 and check the reading
at pin 1 and 3 for approximately
225.5 ohms. If the reading is
incorrect, replace the gear train
assembly. Go to the “Gear Train
Assembly Removal” on page 4-6.

Scanner Belt
Check the belt for proper installation.
If the belt is damaged, replace. Go to
the “Belt/Idler Pulley Assembly

Maintenance Station Service Check
The maintenance station has three functions:
1. Wipes the printhead nozzles to clean them of dirt.
2. Provides a place for printheads to fire all nozzles, keeping them
clear prior to printing.
3. Seals the printhead when it is not being used to prevent the
nozzles from drying.
FRU
Action
1
Maintenance
Station Assembly
As the carrier moves to the right over the
maintenance station, a slot on the bottom of the
carrier engages a tab on the sled of the
maintenance station causing the cap to rise and
seal the printhead. Carrier movement to the left
uncaps the printhead. The wiper cleans the
printhead nozzles as the carrier leaves the
maintenance station. The wiper cleans the
printhead only when the carrier is moving to the
left. There should be no wiping action of the
printhead nozzles when the carrier is moving to
the right. After the cleaning operation is complete,
a tab on the maintenance station engages a tab on
the carrier, causing the wiper to lower.
Check the maintenance station for worn or broken
parts. Replace if needed. Go to the “Maintenance
Station Removal” on page 4-14.
Worn wipers cause degraded print quality just after
a maintenance cleaning. Check for loose or worn
wipers.
Worn caps cause the printhead nozzles to dry and
clog. Check for loose or worn caps.

Paper Feed Service Check
If your machine does not have paper jam problems, continue with
the service check. If your machine does have a paper jam problem,
examine it for the following before you begin the service check:
• Check the entire paper path for obstructions.
• Be sure there is not too much paper in the sheet feeder.
• Be sure the correct type of paper is being used.
• Check for static in the paper.
FRU

System Board
Run the “Power-On Self Test (POST) Sequence”
on page 2-1. Replace parts as needed. To check
the paper feed motor, disconnect the paper feed
connector J3 and check for approximately 5 ohms
between pins 3 and 4. If the reading is incorrect,
replace the print engine. Go to the “Print Engine
Removal” on page 4-11. If the reading is correct,
replace the system board. Go to the “System

Paper Feed Motor A noisy or chattering motor or a motor that fails to
turn, can be caused by:
• An open or short in the motor
• An open or short in the motor driver on the
system board
With the paper feed motor cable J3 disconnected
from the system board, check for approximately 5
ohms between the following pins on the motor:
Pin 3 to Pin 4
If the readings are incorrect, replace the print
engine. Go to the “Print Engine Removal” on
page 4-11.
Although the paper feeds in a forward direction
only, the paper feed motor turns in two directions.
If the paper feed motor turns in one direction only,
replace the system board. Go to the “System
Board Removal” on page 4-12.
Binds in the paper feed motor or gear train can

4. Repair Information
This chapter explains how to make adjustments to the printer and
how to remove defective parts.
Note: 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 system
board:
• 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 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 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 cabinet
(case).
• Be extra careful in working with ESD-sensitive parts when cold weather
heating is used because low humidity increases static electricity.

CAUTION: Unplug the power cord before removing any parts.
Releasing Plastic Latches
Many of the parts are held in place with plastic latches. The latches
break easily; release them carefully. To remove such parts, press the
hook end of the latch away from the part to which it is latched.
