Lexmark MS31x/41x/510/610 & MX310/410/51x/61x Product Study Guide

Printhead

Replacing the Printhead assembly is complex as there are critical instructions that should be followed to
prevent misalignment and/or skew issues.
When removing and installing the Printhead, make sure to do the following:
•
Use a pencil to mark the screw locations of the old Printhead on the metal frame.
•
Align the new Printhead relative to the location of the old Printhead.
•
Print a test page and check if the printout is misaligned.
•
If the printout is misaligned, perform a Printhead mechanical adjustment. See the "Printhead
assembly mechanical adjustment" section of the printer's Service Manual for instructions.
•
If it doesn't fix the issue, align the Printhead electronically. See the "Printhead assembly
electronic adjustment" section of the printer's Service Manual for instructions.
Notes: This adjustment is not available on the MS310 Series (LED printers).
•
Before aligning the Printhead electronically, first mechanically align it.

ACM Pick Clutch

The ACM pick clutch replacement procedure for the MS310, MS410, MX310 and MX410 Series is the
same with the Ex6x printer series. The printer series not mentioned does not have this FRU part.
The removal of this part is easy but the installation is complex. See the printer's Service Manual for the
removal and installation steps. Each step should be followed carefully.
On the Ex6x, there were a lot of instances that the servicer failed to properly replace the part causing the
printer to malfunction or not boot up at all.
