Laser notice
The printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for Class I (1) laser products, and elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC 60825-1. Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The printer contains internally a Class IIIb (3b) laser that is nominally a 5 milliwatt gallium arsenide laser operating in the wavelength region of 770-795 nanometers. The laser system and printer are designed so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a Class I level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service condition.

Laser
Der Drucker erfüllt gemäß amtlicher Bestätigung der USA die Anforderungen der Bestimmung DHHS (Department of Health and Human Services) 21 CFR Teil J für Laserprodukte der Klasse I (1).

Tips on preventing jams
You can avoid most paper jams by correctly loading paper and specialty media. The following hints can help you avoid paper jams:

· · · · · ·

Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper. Never mix media types within a tray. Flex, fan, and straighten paper before you load it. Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Push all trays firmly into the printer after loading them. Make sure the guides in the trays are positioned snugly against the paper or specialty media. Load Paper light sequence before you remove the tray.

· Do not remove paper trays while a job is printing. Wait for a · Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets
from sticking together.

· Do not use envelopes that:
­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ Have excessive curl Are stuck together Are damaged in any way Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars Have postage stamps attached Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position

·

Use only recommended paper. Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com for more information about which paper provides optimum results for current printing environment.

Service checks
Service checks which involve measuring voltages on the LVPS/HVPS (low voltage power supply/high voltage power supply board) should be performed with the printer positioned on its back side. Note: When you make voltage readings, always use frame ground unless another ground is specified. See "Wiring diagram" on page 5-4 for more information.

Cold fuser service check
Make sure the correct voltage lamp is installed. The voltage rating is stamped on one of the lamp contacts. FRU Action If the fuser lamp comes on and a fuser failure light error code displays, be sure the thermistor is contacting the hot roll and the thermistor cable is firmly seated in connector J15 on the controller card. Check for excessive toner buildup on the surface of the thermistor. Clean as necessary. With the printer unplugged, disconnect the thermistor cable from J15 on the controller card. Measure the resistance of the thermistor. The resistance measures from approximately 1K ohms immediately after printing or POR to approximately 240K ohms when thermistor reaches room temperature. (It may take 30 minutes to cool.) Replace the fuser assembly as necessary.

Cooling fan service check
FRU Cooling fan Action Make sure the fan cable plug is properly seated at J19 (controller card). Turn the printer off and disconnect the cooling fan cable from the controller card. Turn the printer on. Within a few seconds the controller card assembly should apply between +24 V dc to pin 2. See "Controller board" on page 5-3 for more information. · If voltage is present and the fan is not turning, replace the cooling fan. If the fan still doesn't function, replace the controller card. Note: The fan speed is controlled by a module on the PCB. Between +8 V and +24 V dc are constantly supplied at pin 2 (J19). Pin 1 is ground while pin 3 receives feedback from the fan motor. · If voltage is not present, see "Controller board" on page 5-3 for more information.

Controller card service check
FRU Controller card assembly Action Verify +24 V dc input from the LVPS/HVPS. · Turn the printer off. · Disconnect the LVPS/HVPS cable from the controller card at J7. See "Controller board" on page 5-3 for more information. · Turn the printer on. Verify +24 V dc from the cable connector of J9, pin 8. Verify that pin 7 on both the cable and the card connectors is ground. · If voltage is correct, check the continuity in the cable. If the cable is good, see the "Controller board" on page 5-3 for more information. · If grounds are not correct on the cable, first check it for continuity and then the LVPS/HVPS. · If the grounds are not correct on the controller card, replace the controller card. (Check with one probe on the connector pin and the other on the card's ground plane found at each screw head.)

4505 Controller card service check (continued)
FRU Controller card assembly Action Note: With all cables connected, the printer should complete POST within approximately 12­15 seconds in the following sequence: 1. All operator panel lights on solid momentarily. 2. Lights then flash on and off sequentially. After lights quit flashing, the light turns on solid. 3. The cooling fan comes on. 4. The fuser lamp comes on. 5. The drive motor runs. 6. The printhead motor runs. 7. The printer cycles down into standby mode/ready. If immediately following power­on the operator panel lights are active but the printer does not go through steps 1 and 2 above, replace the controller card assembly. Note: Settings for U.S. versus non­U.S. and the printer configuration ID can be changed. See "Configuration and diagnostic groups" on page 3-1 for more information. If some lights are on or flashing, see "Common light sequences" on page 2-3 to determine action required.

Cover interlock switch service check
Note: Make sure a print cartridge assembly is installed and the cover closes all the way, engaging the cover open switch lever.
FRU Cover interlock switch Action Disconnect the cover interlock cable from the controller card at J13. Verify continuity between cable pin 1 and pin 2 with the door closed but not open. Verify continuity between cable pin 1 and pin 3 with the door open but not closed. · If either fail continuity, replace the cover interlock switch. · If both pass continuity, turn the printer on and verify +5 V dc on pin 2 at J6 on the controller card. · Verify pins 1 and 3 are ground. · If voltage or ground is not present, see "Controller card service check" on page 2-49 for more information. Verify discontinuity between pins 2 and 3 whether the door is open or closed. Replace the cover interlock switch if faulty.

Dead machine service check
CAUTION: Check the AC line voltage. The voltage should be within the following limits:

· 100 V ac (volts alternating current) ­ 127 V ac for the 110 V ·
FRU

printer 200 V ac ­ 240 V ac for the 220 V printer
Action Unplug the printer and check the fuses on the LVPS/HVPS board for continuity. · If open, replace the LVPS/HVPS board. ­ If fuse opens again, see "LVPS/ HVPS service check" on page 2-57 for more information · If not open, unplug the cables at CN102 and CN201 (fuser and controller card respectively). Plug LVPS/HVPS board to source and turn switch on. Verify 24 V dc on pin 8 at connector CN201. Verify line voltage (110 or 220 V ac) across pins 1 and 2 of CN102
