1. General information
This LexmarkTM C510 color laser printer is the ideal printer for presentations, business graphics, line art, and text. It uses laser diode electrophotographic technology to deliver remarkable quality print images and text. The printer can be used as a shared network or desktop printer.

Maintenance approach
The diagnostic information in this manual leads you to the correct field replaceable unit (FRU) or part. Use the error code charts, symptom index, and service checks to determine the symptom and repair the failure. See "Diagnostic information" on page 2-1, for location of each section. You may find that the removals in the Repair information chapter will help you identify parts. After you complete the repair, perform tests as needed to verify the repair.

Tools required for service
The removal and adjustment procedures described in this manual require the following tools and equipment:

· Analog volt ohmmeter (a digital volt ohmmeter may also be · · · · · · ·
used) Flat-blade screwdrivers Needle nose pliers #1 Phillips screwdriver #2 Phillips screwdriver Slotted screwdriver #1 Slotted clock screwdriver #1 Tweezers, C-ring pliers

When you make voltage readings, always use frame ground unless another ground is specified.

Toner darkness There are five settings to balance print darkness and toner savings. The higher the setting, the darker the print. The toner darkness default setting is 4. The toner darkness setting is available through the operator panel under the Color Menu, Toner Darkness menu. Color correction settings There are three settings to choose the type of color correction to be applied when printing. Auto (default): Applies different color correction to each object on the printed page depending upon the type of object (text, graphics or image), and how the color for each object is specified. Off: No color correction is implemented.

Media guidelines
With the Lexmark C510 print technology, paper designed for use with xerographic copiers should provide satisfactory print quality and feed reliability. Other media types may be suitable. We recommend that users test any particular brand for suitability to their applications. Refer to the printer User's Reference for additional media specifications. Paper

· Rough, highly textured, limp, or pre-curled papers will result in
lower print quality and more frequent paper feed failures.

· Colored papers must be able to withstand 338°F (170°C) fusing
temperature.

· Preprinted forms and letterheads should be selected using
guidelines in the printer User's Reference. The chemical process used in preprinting may render some papers unsuitable for use with the printer.

· Unsuitable papers include punched, embossed, water-marked,
perforated media, any kind of inkjet paper or plastic-coated paper.

· Recycled paper less than 75 g/m2 (20 lb) may cause
unacceptable results. The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of 170°C (338°F). Use only paper able to withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers. Envelopes Should be fed with short edge first, flap down and to the right.

1-12 Service Manual

5021-0XX

· If envelope wrinkling occurs, refer to the User's Reference for
correct loading and stacking of envelopes.

· All envelopes should be new, unused, and without damage. · Envelopes with excessive curl or twist exceeding 6.0 mm, those
stuck together, those with bent corners or nicked edges, or those that interlock should not be used.

· Minimum weight: 90 g/m2 (24 lb). · The following envelopes should not be used:
­ Envelopes with windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or deep embossing ­ Envelopes with metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars ­ Envelopes with exposed flap adhesive when the flap is in the closed position ­ Self-seal envelopes

· Under high humidity conditions (over 60%), the envelopes may
seal during printing.

· For best results, print on new 90 g/m2 (24 lb) sulfite or 25%
cotton-bond envelope. Transparencies

· Use letter (12A5940) or A4-size (12A5941) sheets only. · Transparencies are only supported in tray 1 (standard or legal

Printer systems description
See the illustration "Printer component systems" on page 1-23, for more information.

Basic principles of color printing
Color printing is made through the subtractive process of combining the three primary colors: yellow, magenta, and cyan.

Mechanical and electrical structures
This color laser printer consists of five engineering systems: print, transfer, optical, paper transport, and control system. Print system The print system consists of six functional parts located around the optical photoconductor (OPC) belt and forms a toner image on the OPC belt: charge, expose, develop, first transfer, discharge, and clean. Transfer system The transfer system consists of three functional parts that transfers the toner image formed on the transfer belt to paper: transfer belt unit, second transfer, and cleaning roller. Optical system The optical system consists of two functional parts that forms an electrostatic latent image on the OPC belt using a laser light: optical unit and scanner motor (SCM). Paper transport system The paper transport system consists of five functional parts that picks up paper from the paper tray, separates the transported paper from the transfer belt, and exits it from the printer after fusing the toner image on the paper: paper tray, transport, fuser, and paper exit.

General information 1-21

5021-0XX Control system The control system consists of four control parts and runs the printer by processing the interface signals transmitted from the computer and the other printer systems such as the print, transfer, optical, and transport system: sequence control, laser control, fusing temperature control, and interface control.

Basic process of color printing
1. This printer has a toner cartridge for each color -- yellow, magenta, cyan, and black. 2. The toner image is developed with primary colors and then transferred to the transfer belt for color combination. 3. The toner image formed on the transfer belt is transferred to paper. 4. The toner is fused to the paper by the thermal fuser unit. During the fusing process, the primary colors mix, yielding the desired color.

Print system and transfer system
This illustration shows the basic structure of the print system having the OPC belt as a main function, and the transfer system including the transfer belt. A color print is accomplished by actuating each process in the print system and the transfer system.

General information 1-25

5021-0XX

Structure of OPC belt (photo developer cartridge)
The OPC belt consists of a surface layer having an optical photoconductor (OPC) of organic material, the inner layer consists of an insulator material (PET), and the aluminum deposit layer in between. The OPC belt is a main part of the print system.

1-26 Service Manual

5021-0XX

Basic structure of the print system
The print system process consists of the following: 1. The OPC belt is biased to the -CBV(V) by power supply CBV. 2. The OPC belt is then evenly charged to the negative high voltage by the OPC charging system. The charging system consists of a charging brush that is biased by power supply CHV and a discharge roller that is biased by power supply DCV. 3. The developer roller in the toner cartridge is biased to -DBV(V) by power supply DBV. 4. Frame potential of transfer drum is GND.

General information 1-27

5021-0XX 5. Variation of the OPC belt potential: a. The OPC belt is biased to -CBV(V). b. The OPC belt surface is evenly charged to -Vo(V) during the charging process. c. During the exposing process, the optical unit emits a laser beam that strikes the OPC belt surface forming an electrostatic image. The electrostatic image is at -VR(V) potential. d. The negatively charged toner is moved to the OPC belt in the development process due to the difference between -VR(V) and -DBV(V). A visible image is the result. e. The negatively charged toner on the OPC belt is moved to the transfer belt because the potential GND of the transfer belt is greater than -VR(V) of the OPC belt. f. The OPC belt is discharged by the erase lamp radiating on the OPC belt.
