To access the Photoconductor follow the steps below:
- For a Lexmark C73x
- For a Lexmark X73x
Remove the exhausted Photoconductor (PCU) by unsnapping and pulling up the white coupler from the right side of the printer. You may handle the PCU on the portion encircled in red as shown in the right-hand image.
Lift up on the right side of the PCU and then slide it to the right in order to remove it from the printer.
Remove the replacement PCU from the packaging.
Note: Do not use a sharp object to cut the label because it may damage the PCU.
Pick up the PCU without touching the blue, shiny drum. You may handle the PCU on the portion encircled in red as shown in the right-hand image.
Note: In order to avoid contamination, do not touch the surface of the drum.
Align and insert the left end of the PCU under the opaque plastic pin on the Transfer Belt Module.
Snap the white coupler on the right-hand end of the PCU into place. Then remove the red packaging strip from the top of the PCU by rotating it over the metal bracket and pulling it straight out.
Place the old PCU and return the label into the replacement PCU box to ship to Lexmark for recycling. You should find the shipping instructions and return label inside the package of the new PCU.
Note: For optimum print quality and reliability, Lexmark recommends always replacing photoconductor units in complete sets.
