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.
Fuser AC cables LVPS/HVPS Fuser

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 doesnt 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.
