General information
Printer model configurations
MX-B468P printer is network‑capable, laser printer. The printer supports monochrome printing and is
embedded with home screen solutions and applications. All information in this service manual pertains to all
models unless explicitly noted.
The printers are available in the following models:

Selecting paper
Paper guidelines
Use the appropriate paper to prevent jams and help ensure trouble‑free printing.
• Always use new, undamaged paper.
• Before loading paper, know the recommended printable side of the paper. This information is usually
indicated on the paper package.
• Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.
• Do not mix paper sizes, types, or weights in the same tray; mixing results in jams.
• Do not use coated papers unless they are specifically designed for electrophotographic printing.
For more information, see the Paper and Specialty Media Guide.
Paper characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Consider these factors before printing on
them.
Weight
Trays can feed paper of varying weights. Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) may not be stiff enough to feed
properly, and may cause jams. For more information, see the “Supported paper weights” topic.
Curl
Curl is the tendency for paper to curl at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems. Curl can
occur after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures. Storing paper
unwrapped in hot, humid, cold, or dry conditions can contribute to paper curling before printing and can cause
feeding problems.
General information
22
4602
Smoothness
Paper smoothness directly affects print quality. If paper is too rough, toner cannot fuse to it properly. If paper
is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. We recommend the use of paper with 50
Sheffield points.
Moisture content
The amount of moisture in paper affects both print quality and the printer ability to feed the paper correctly.
Leave paper in its original wrapper until you use it. Exposure of paper to moisture changes can degrade its
performance.
Before printing, store paper in its original wrapper for 24 to 48 hours. The environment in which the paper is
stored must be the same as the printer . Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation
environment is very different from the printer environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning
period.
Grain direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long which runs the
length of the paper, or grain short which runs the width of the paper. For recommended grain direction, see the
“Supported paper weights” topic.
Fiber content
Most high‑quality xerographic paper is made from 100 percent chemically treated pulped wood. This content
provides the paper with a high degree of stability, resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print
quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling.
Unacceptable paper
The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:
• Chemically treated papers that are used to make copies without carbon paper. They are also known as
carbonless papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper.
• Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.
• Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser.
• Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±2.3 mm
(±0.09 in.). For example, optical character recognition (OCR) forms.
Sometimes, registration can be adjusted with a software app to print successfully on these forms.
• Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, or thermal papers.
• Rough‑edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers, or curled papers.
• Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European).
• Paper weighing less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb).
• Multiple‑part forms or documents.
General information
23
4602
Storing paper
Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
• Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before printing.
• Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation environment is very different from the printer
environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.
• For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40 percent.
• Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with relative
humidity between 40 and 60 percent.
• Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.
• Store individual packages on a flat surface.
• Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.
• Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton and
wrapper help keep the paper clean, dry, and flat.

Printhead adjustment
A printhead must be correctly positioned after it has been removed. Use a sharp pencil or a small, flat-blade
screwdriver to mark the location of the old printhead on the printer frame. Align the new printhead relative to
the location of the old printhead.
Note: Skew is caused by a sheet being fed through the printer while misaligned. The entire image is rotated
relative to the sheet edges. However, a mechanically misaligned printhead causes the horizontal lines to
appear skewed, while the vertical lines remain parallel to the vertical edges. The skew cannot be adjusted.
Check the pick tires for wear, the paper path for obstructions, the fuser for proper setting, and the tray paper
guides for proper setting.

skew misalignment

4 Make a second vertical fold near the center so that the left side top edge aligns with the right side top edge.
5 If the grid lines of the right flap align below the corresponding lines on the left side, then adjust the printhead
clockwise relative to the printer, and recheck. If the grid lines of the left flap align below the corresponding
lines of the right side, then adjust the printhead counterclockwise.
6 Print another Quick test page, and check if adjustments are still needed.
7 After obtaining a properly adjusted image on the paper, tighten all the screws.
Note: If necessary, print a Quick test page again and perform the Registration adjust procedure to correct
the skew and misalignments. See “Registration adjust” on page 129.

Removal procedures
Keep the following tips in mind as you replace parts:
• Some removal procedures require removing cable ties. You must replace cable ties during reassembly to
avoid pinching wires, obstructing the paper path, or restricting mechanical movement.
• Remove the toner cartridges, imaging kit, and trays before removing other printer parts. The imaging kit
must be carefully set on a clean, smooth, and flat surface. It must also be protected from light while out of
the printer.
• Disconnect all external cables from the printer to prevent possible damage during service.
• Unless otherwise stated, reinstall the parts in reverse order of removal.
• When reinstalling a part held with several screws, start all screws before the final tightening.
• For printers that have a electronic power switch, make sure to unplug the power cord after powering off.

Maintenance
Inspection guide
The purpose of this inspection guide is to aid you in identifying the intervals, based on page count, at which
parts must be inspected (for visible physical damage), cleaned, or replaced.
If any unsafe conditions exist, find out how serious the hazard could be and if you can continue before you
correct the hazard.
As you service the machine, check for the following:
• Damaged, missing, or altered parts, especially in the area of the On/Off switch and the power supply
• Damaged, missing, or altered covers, especially in the area of the top cover and the power supply cover
• Possible safety exposure from any non-Lexmark attachments
Use the following table to determine when specified parts should be inspected:
PART EVERY SERVICE CALL EVERY 200K
Fuser Inspect Replace
MPF pick roller and separator pad Inspect Replace
Pick tires Inspect Replace
Separator roller Inspect Replace
Transfer roller Inspect Replace
Scheduled maintenance
The control panel displays an 80.xx error when it reaches a preset number of page counts. It is necessary to
install the appropriate maintenance kit to maintain the print quality and reliability of the printer. Reset the

Theory of operation
POR sequence
As the printer is turned on, the engine code goes through a series of tests to verify hardware integrity. If a
hardware failure is detected, then it is reported to the printer. If the POR sequence cannot be completed
successfully, then the printer may post an error message. The message states that service may be needed.

Theory of operation

1 Charge roller
2 Photoconductor drum
The charge roller applies a uniform negative electrical charge to the surface of the photoconductor drum. The
photoconductor drum, because of its photoconductive properties, holds the charge as long as it is not exposed
to light.
Service tips
• If the surface of the charge roller is damaged, such as having a nick or pit, then the charge on the
photoconductor drum is uneven. A repeating mark may appear on the printed page. For more information,
see “Repeating defects ” on page 45.
• If the charge roller is severely damaged, then the surface of the photoconductor drum is not properly
charged. Excessive amounts of toner particles are deposited on the photoconductor drum. The printed page
becomes saturated with 100% of the color from the supply with the defective charge roller. The affected
imaging unit or kit must be replaced immediately.
Expose
1 Photoconductor drum
2 Printhead
The printhead laser emits the light that contacts the surface of the photoconductor drum. An invisible image,
called digital latent image, is written as the light turns on or off. The light causes areas of the photoconductor
drum surface to lose charge, resulting in a relative opposite polarity.
Theory of operation
311
4602
Service tips
• Do not touch the surface of the photoconductor drum with your bare hand. The oil from your skin may cause
a charge disparity on the surface, and the toner may no longer stick properly. The result can be repeating
blotches or voids on the printed page or patches of light print. The affected imaging unit or kit may need to
be replaced.
• The surface of the photoconductor drum is coated with an organic substance that makes it sensitive to light.
Make sure to cover the photoconductor drum when you are working on the printer. If it is exposed to light
for too long, then light or dark print quality problems may occur. The imaging unit or imaging kit may need
to be replaced.
• Toner particles or dirt that get stuck on the printhead lens may obstruct the path of the laser beam. The
result can be vertical light streaks on the printed page. If cleaning is not possible, then the printhead may
need to be replaced.
Develop
1 Toner cartridge
2 Developer roller
3 Photoconductor drum
The developer roller applies the toner from the toner cartridge to the photoconductor drum. The relative
opposite polarity in charge causes the toner particles to attract to the photoconductor drum areas which were
exposed to light.
This process is similar to using glue to write on a can, and then rolling the can over glitter. The glitter sticks to
the glue but does not stick to the rest of the can.

Service tips
• Do not touch the surface of the developer roller with your bare hand. The oil from your skin may cause a
charge disparity on the surface, and the toner may no longer stick properly. The result can be repeating
blotches or voids on the printed page or patches of light print. The affected cartridge may need to be
replaced.
• If the developer roller is damaged, then it cannot contact the surface of the photoconductor drum properly.
The result can be repeating marks, thin vertical voids, or thin vertical lines of color on the printed page.
Check the surface of the developer roller for damage. For more information, see “Repeating defects ” on
page 45.
Transfer
1 Photoconductor drum
2 Transfer roller
3 Paper
The transfer roller applies a positive charge to the paper, which is pressed between the transfer roller and the
photoconductor drum. The charge on the paper received from the transfer roller is positive. The charge on the
photoconductor drum received from the charge roller is negative. The relative opposite polarities between the
two charges result in the charge attracting the toner onto the paper.

Service tips
• Do not touch the surface of the transfer roller with your bare hand. The oil from your skin may cause a charge
disparity on the surface, and the toner may no longer stick properly. The result can be repeating blotches
or voids on the printed page or patches of light print. The transfer roller may need to be replaced. For more
information, see “Repeating defects ” on page 45.
• Do not use solvents or other cleaners to clean the transfer roller surface. Their chemicals may result to
scratches or charge disparities. Voids on the printed page or blotches of light print may occur. The transfer
roller may need to be replaced.
• Sharp and hard objects can damage the transfer roller surface. Be careful when using a screwdriver or
prying tool near the transfer roller. If the transfer roller has tears or cracks, then the transfer roller may need
to be replaced.
Clean
The cleaning blade removes the toner residue from the photoconductor drum. The cycle (charge, expose,
develop, transfer, and clean) repeats until the whole image is transferred to the paper.
Theory of operation
314
4602
Fuse
1 Fuser
2 Paper
Even if the toner image is already on the paper, the toner particles are not yet permanently bonded to the
surface. Paper is transported from the transfer roller to the fuser where heat and pressure are applied to it. As
a result, the toner particles melt and permanently fuse with the paper, completing the print process. The cycle
repeats for the succeeding pages.
Service tips
• If the fuser is damaged, then the toner may rub off the page. Paper jams may also occur.
• Toner rubbing off a printed page indicates a malfunctioning fuser or an incorrect paper type setting. Always
check the paper type setting before replacing the fuser. A common mistake is to print on heavier paper,
such as card stock, with the paper type set to plain paper.
• If possible, never pull paper with unfused toner through the fuser. Try to pull out the jammed paper from the
fuser in the opposite direction it was traveling.

The pick roller picks and feeds the paper to the separator roller. The separator roller feeds the paper to the
second input roller, which feeds it to the first input roller. For MPF print jobs, the MPF pick roller picks and feeds
the paper to the first input roller.
The first input roller feeds the paper to the transfer roller. At the transfer roller, the photoconductor drum
transfers the developed image to the paper to create the printed image.
As the paper passes the fuser, heat and pressure are applied to permanently bond the toner to the paper.
Theory of operation

After printing, the printer ejects the paper by the paper exit roller.
After the first side is printed, the paper reverses direction to get its opposite page printed.
The paper travels along the duplex path until it reenters the second input roller. From there, the paper continues
its path until the print job is done.
