Linking and unlinking trays
Linking trays
Tray linking is useful for large print jobs or multiple copies. When one linked tray is empty, paper feeds from the next
linked tray. When the Paper Size and Paper Type settings are the same for any trays, the trays are automatically linked.
The Paper Size setting is automatically sensed according to the position of the paper guides in each tray except the
multipurpose feeder. The Paper Size setting for the multipurpose feeder must be set manually from the Paper Size
menu. The Paper Type setting must be set for all trays from the Paper Type menu. The Paper Type menu and the Paper
Size menu are both available from the Paper Size/Type menu.

Unlinking trays
Unlinked trays have settings that are not the same as the settings of any other tray.
To unlink a tray, change the following tray settings so that they do not match the settings of any other tray:

• Paper Type (for example: Plain Paper, Letterhead, Custom Type )
Paper Type names describe the paper characteristics. If the name that best describes your paper is used by linked
trays, assign a different Paper Type name to the tray, such as Custom Type , or define your own custom name.

• Paper Size (for example: letter, A4, statement)
Load a different paper size to change the Paper Size setting for a tray automatically. Paper Size settings for the
multipurpose feeder are not automatic; they must be set manually from the Paper Size menu.
Warning—Potential Damage: Do not assign a Paper Type name that does not accurately describe the type of paper
loaded in the tray. The temperature of the fuser varies according to the specified Paper Type. Paper may not be
properly processed if an inaccurate Paper Type is selected.

Assigning a Custom Type  name
Assign a Custom Type  name to a tray to link or unlink it. Associate the same Custom Type  name to each tray
that you want to link. Only trays with the same custom names assigned will link.

Paper and specialty media guide
Paper guidelines
Paper characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Consider these characteristics when evaluating
new paper stock.

Weight
The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 220 g/m2 (16 to 58 lb bond) grain long. Paper lighter than
60 g/m2 (16 lb) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best performance, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb
bond) grain long paper. For paper smaller than 182 x 257 mm (7.2 x 10.1 in.), we recommend 90 g/m2 (24 lb) or heavier
paper.
Note: Duplex is supported only for 63 g/m2–170 g/m2 (17 lb–45 lb bond) paper.

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, even in the trays, can contribute to paper curling prior to printing and can cause feeding
problems.

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. Always use paper between 100 and 300 Sheffield points;
however, smoothness between 150 and 200 Sheffield points produces the best print quality.

Moisture content
The amount of moisture in paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper correctly.
Leave paper in its original wrapper until it is time to use it. This limits the exposure of paper to moisture changes that
can degrade its performance.
Condition paper before printing by storing it 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.

Grain direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long, running the length of
the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.
For 60 to 135 g/m2 (16 to 36 lb bond) paper, grain long paper is recommended. For papers heavier than 135 g/m 2, grain
short is recommended.

Paper and specialty media guide

37

Fiber content
Most high‑quality xerographic paper is made from 100% 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 used to make copies without carbon paper, 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 (±0.9 in.),
such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms
In some cases, registration can be adjusted with a software application to successfully print on these forms.

•
•
•
•
•

Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, 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

Selecting paper
Using appropriate paper prevents jams and helps ensure trouble‑free printing.
To help avoid jams and poor print quality:

• Always use new, undamaged paper.
• Before loading paper, know the recommended print 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 source; mixing results in jams.
• Do not use coated papers unless they are specifically designed for electrophotographic printing.

Selecting preprinted forms and letterhead
Use these guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead:

• Use grain long for 60 to 90 g/m2 weight paper.
• Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
• Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
Use papers printed with heat‑resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must be able to withstand
temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by
the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidation‑set or oil‑based generally meet these requirements; latex inks might not.
When in doubt, contact the paper supplier.

Paper and specialty media guide

38

Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting or
releasing hazardous emissions.

Using recycled paper
As an environmentally conscious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled office paper produced specifically for
use in laser (electrophotographic) printers. In 1998, Lexmark presented to the US government a study demonstrating
that recycled paper produced by major mills in the US fed as well as non-recycled paper. However, no blanket statement
can be made that all recycled paper will feed well.
Lexmark consistently tests its printers with recycled paper (20–100% post-consumer waste) and a variety of test paper
from around the world, using chamber tests for different temperature and humidity conditions. Lexmark has found no
reason to discourage the use of today's recycled office papers, but generally the following property guidelines apply
to recycled paper.

•
•
•
•

Low moisture content (4–5%)
Suitable smoothness (100–200 Sheffield units)
Suitable sheet-to-sheet coefficient of friction (0.4–0.6)
Sufficient bending resistance in the direction of feed

Recycled paper, paper of lower weight (<60 gm2/16 lb bond) and/or lower caliper (<3.8 mils/0.1 mm), and paper that
is cut grain-short for portrait (or short-edge) fed printers may have lower bending resistance than is required for reliable
paper feeding. Before using these types of paper for laser (electrophotographic) printing, consult your paper supplier.
Remember that these are general guidelines only and that paper meeting these guidelines may still cause paper feeding
problems.

Using letterhead
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the chosen preprinted letterhead is acceptable for laser
printers.
Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. Use the following sections to determine which direction to
load the letterhead in each paper source:

Loading letterhead in the multipurpose feeder

Note: Place the letterhead facedown in the multipurpose feeder with the long edge of the paper entering the printer
first.

Using transparencies
Print samples on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on transparencies:

• From MarkVision Professional, Print Properties, or the control panel, set the Paper Type to Transparency.
• Feed transparencies from the standard tray or the multipurpose feeder.
• Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure
transparencies are able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or
releasing hazardous emissions.

• Use transparencies that are 0.12–0.14 mm (4.8–5.4 mil) in thickness or 161–179 g/m2 in weight. Print quality and
durability depend on the transparencies used.

• To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
• Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
• We recommend Lexmark part number 12A8240 for letter‑size transparencies.

Using envelopes
Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on envelopes:

• From the control panel, set the Paper Source based on the source in use. From MarkVision Professional, Print
Properties, or the control panel, set the Paper Type to Envelope, and select the envelope size.

• Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the
envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or
releasing hazardous emissions.

• For the best performance, use envelopes made from 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) paper. Use up to 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond)
weight for envelopes as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. All‑cotton envelopes must not exceed 90 g/m2
(24 lb bond) weight.

• Use only new envelopes.
• To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:
– Have excessive curl or twist
– Are stuck together or damaged in any way

Have bent corners
Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes

• Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes.

Using labels
Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.
For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available on
the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.
When printing on labels:

• From MarkVision Professional, Print Properties, or the control panel, set the Paper Type to Labels.
• Use only letter, A4, or legal‑size label sheets.
• Use labels designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to verify that label
adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats can withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) and pressure
up to 25 psi without delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes. Do not use vinyl labels.

• Do not use labels with slick backing material.
• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets
also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and cartridge warranties.

• Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die‑cuts of the label.
• Be sure adhesive backing does not reach to the sheet edge. Zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.)
away from edges is recommended. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty.

• If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, remove a 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) strip on the leading and driver edge, and
use a non‑oozing adhesive.

• Portrait orientation works best, especially when printing bar codes.

Using card stock
Card stock is heavy, single‑ply print media. Many of its variable characteristics, such as moisture content, thickness,
and texture, can significantly impact print quality. Print samples on the card stock being considered for use before
buying large quantities.
When printing on card stock:

• From MarkVision Professional, or the control panel:
1 Set the Paper Type to Card Stock.
2 Select a Card Stock Texture setting.

Paper and specialty media guide

42

• Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing may significantly affect the print quality and cause jams or
other paper handling problems.

• Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the card stock can withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F)
without releasing hazardous emissions.

• Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting
introduces semi‑liquid and volatile components into the printer.

• Use grain long card stock when possible.

Storing paper
Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:

• For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%. Most label
manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18 to 24°C (65 to 75°F) with relative humidity between
40 and 60%.

• Store paper in cartons when possible, 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.

Supported paper sizes, types, and weights
The following tables provide information on standard and optional paper sources and the types of paper they support.

Printing
This chapter covers printing, printer reports, and job cancellation. The selection and handling of paper and specialty
media can affect how reliably documents print. For more information, see "Avoiding jams" and "Storing paper."

Installing printer software
A printer driver is software that lets the computer communicate with the printer. The printer software is typically
installed during the initial printer setup. For more information, see the Setup sheet or Setup Guide that shipped with
the printer or click Install printer and software on the Software and Documentation CD.
When Print is chosen from a software application, a dialog representing the printer driver opens. Click Properties,
Preferences, Options, or Setup from the initial Print dialog to open Print Properties and see all of the available printer
settings that may be changed. If a feature in Print Properties is unfamiliar, open the online Help for more information.
Note: Print settings selected from the driver override the default settings selected from the control panel.

Printing a document from Windows
1 With a document open, click File > Print.
2 Click Properties, Preferences, Options, or Setup.
3 Adjust the settings.
4 Click OK.
5 Click OK or Print.

Printing a document from a Macintosh computer

Printing confidential and other held jobs
Holding jobs in the printer
When sending a job to the printer, you can specify in the Print Properties that you want the printer to hold the job in
memory until you start the job from the control panel. All print jobs that can be initiated by the user at the printer are
called held jobs.
Note: Confidential, Repeat, Reserve, and Verify print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to
process additional held jobs.

Printing

Job type

Description

Confidential

When you send a Confidential print job to the printer, you must create a PIN in
Print Properties. The PIN must be four digits using the numbers 0–9. The job is held
in printer memory until you enter the PIN from the control panel and choose to
print or delete the job.

Repeat

When you send a Repeat print job, the printer prints all requested copies of the
job and stores the job in memory so you can print additional copies later. You can
print additional copies as long as the job remains stored in memory.

Reserve

When you send a Reserve print job, the printer does not print the job immediately.
It stores the job in memory so you can print the job later. The job is held in memory
until you delete it from the Held Jobs menu.

Verify

When you send a Verify print job, the printer prints one copy and holds the
remaining copies in printer memory. Verify lets you examine the first copy to see
if it is satisfactory before printing the remaining copies. Once all copies are printed,
the job is automatically deleted from printer memory.

Locking the control panel menus using the Embedded Web
Server
You can use the control panel lockout functionality to create a PIN and choose specific menus to lock. Each time a locked
menu is selected, the user will be prompted to enter the correct PIN. The PIN does not affect access through the
Embedded Web Server.
To lock control panel menus:

1 Open a Web browser. In the address bar, type the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using
the format: http://ip_address/.

2 Click Configuration.
3 Under Other Settings, click Security.
4 Click Menu Lockout Setup.

Locking the entire printer
You can use the printer lockout functionality to create a PIN that must be entered in order to use the printer. When
the printer is locked, every print job it receives will buffer to the hard disk. To print the jobs, the user must enter the
correct PIN using the control panel.
Notes:

• A printer hard disk must be installed in the printer and working properly for the printer lockout functionality to
be available.

• Some data will continue to be processed while the printer is locked. Reports such as user or event logs can be
retrieved from a locked printer.
To lock control panel menus:

1 Open a Web browser. In the address bar, type the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using
the format: http://ip_address/.

2 Click Configuration.
3 Under Other Settings, click Security.
4 Click Printer Lockout PIN.

Modifying confidential print settings
You can modify confidential print settings using the Embedded Web Server. You can set a maximum number of PIN
entry attempts. When a user exceeds a specific number of PIN entry attempts, all of the jobs for that user are deleted.
You can set an expiration time for confidential print jobs. When a user has not printed the jobs within the designated
time period, all of the jobs for that user are deleted.
Note: This functionality is only available on network printers.
To modify the confidential print settings:

1 Open a Web browser. In the address bar, type the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using
the format: http://ip_address/.

2 Click Configuration.
3 Under Other Settings, click Security.
4 Click Confidential Print Setup.

Supporting IPSec
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) provides authentication and encryption at the network layer allowing all application
and network connections over the IP protocol to be secure. IPSec can be set up between the printer and up to five
hosts, using both IPv4 and IPv6.
To configure IPSec using the Embedded Web Server:

1 Open a Web browser. In the address bar, type the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using
the format: http://ip_address.

2 Click Configuration.
3 Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
4 Click IPSec.
IPSec supports two types of authentication:

• Shared Key Authentication—Authenticates any ASCII phrase shared among all participating host computers. This
is the easiest way to configure when only a few host computers on the network use IPSec.

• Certificate Authentication—Authenticates any host computer or subnet of hosts for IPSec. Each host computer
must have a public/private key pair. Validate Peer Certificate is enabled by default, requiring each host to have a
signed authority certificate that is installed. Each host must have its identifier in the Subject Alternate Name field
of the signed certificate.
Note: After a printer is configured for IPSec with a host, IPSec is required for any IP communications to take place.

Supporting SNMPv3
Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3) allows for encrypted and authenticated network
connections. It also lets a system support person select the desired level of security. Prior to use, at least one user name
and password must be assigned from the settings page.

Administrative support

153

To configure SNMPv3 through the Embedded Web Server:

1 Open a Web browser. In the address bar, type the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using
the format: http://ip_address/.

2 Click Configuration.
3 Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
4 Click SNMP.
SNMPv3 authentication and encryption has three levels of support:

• No authentication and no encryption
• Authentication with no encryption
• Authentication and encryption

Using 802.1x authentication
802.1x authentication allows the printer to join networks that require authentication before allowing access. 802.1x
port authentication can be used with the WPA (Wi‑Fi Protected Access) feature of wireless printers or print servers to
provide WPA‑Enterprise security support.
Support for 802.1x requires the establishment of credentials for the printer, such as certificates. Certificates provide a
way for the printer to be known to the Authentication Server (AS). The AS allows network access to wireless printers
or print servers presenting a valid set of credentials. You can manage the credentials by using the Embedded Web
Server.
To install and use certificates as part of the credentials:

1 Open a Web browser. In the address bar, type the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using
the format: http://ip_address/.

2 Click Configuration.
3 Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
4 Click Certificate Management.
To enable and configure 802.1x after installing the required certificates:

1 Open a Web browser. In the address bar, type the IP address of the printer or print server to be protected using
the format: http://ip_address/.

2 Click Configuration.
3 Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
4 Click 802.1x Authentication. If a wireless internal print server is installed in the printer, click Wireless instead.

Administrative support

Creating an administrative password
Creating an administrative password allows a system support person to password‑protect printer settings. Once a
password is created, it must be entered to access the Configuration and Reports pages of the Embedded Web Server.
An administrative password for the Embedded Web Server must be created before Secure mode can be activated.

1 Open a Web browser.
2 In the address bar, type the network printer or print server IP address, and then press Enter.
3 Click Configuration.
4 Under Other Settings, click Security.
5 Click Create Password.
6 Type the same password in each Password box.
Changing this setting will cause the print server to reset.

7 Click Submit.

Using Secure mode
Secure mode is a way to securely communicate over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol
(UDP) ports.
Note: An administrative password for the Embedded Web Server must be created before Secure mode can be
enabled.
To configure Secure mode using the Embedded Web Server:

1 Open a Web browser.
2 In the address bar, type the network printer or print server IP address, and then press Enter.
3 Click Configuration.
4 Under Other Settings, click Security.
5 Click TCP/IP Port Access.
6 Click the box to the right of Secure Mode Active.
Note: If Secure Mode Active is gray or not selectable, create an administrative password and try again.

7 Select a setting for each listed port, and then click Submit.
There are three ways to configure the TCP and UDP network ports:

• Disabled—Port is disabled and never allows network connections
• Secure and Unsecure—Port is always open including when the printer is in Secure mode
• Unsecured Only—Port is open only when printer is in Secure mode

Solving color quality problems
This section helps answer some basic color‑related questions and describes how some of the features provided in the
Quality Menu can be used to solve typical color problems.

FAQ about color printing
What is RGB color?
Red, green, and blue light can be added together in various amounts to produce a large range of colors observed in
nature. For example, red and green can be combined to create yellow. Televisions and computer monitors create
colors in this manner. RGB color is a method of describing colors by indicating the amount of red, green, or blue
needed to produce a certain color.
What is CMYK color?
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks or toners can be printed in various amounts to produce a large range of colors
observed in nature. For example, cyan and yellow can be combined to create green. Printing presses, inkjet printers,
and color laser printers create colors in this manner. CMYK color is a method of describing colors by indicating the
amount of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black needed to reproduce a particular color.
How is color specified in a document to be printed?
Software programs typically specify document color using RGB or CMYK color combinations. Additionally, they allow
users to modify the color of each object in a document. For more information, see the software program Help topics.

How does the printer know what color to print?
When a user prints a document, information describing the type and color of each object is sent to the printer. The
color information is passed through color conversion tables that translate the color into the appropriate amounts of
cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toner needed to produce the desired color. The object information determines the
application of color conversion tables. For example, it is possible to apply one type of color conversion table to text
while applying a different color conversion table to photographic images.
Should I use PostScript or PCL emulation printer software? What settings should I use for the best color?
The PostScript driver is strongly recommended for best color quality. The default settings in the PostScript driver
provide the preferred color quality for the majority of printouts.
Why doesn't the printed color match the color I see on the computer screen?
The color conversion tables used in Auto Color Correction mode generally approximate the colors of a standard
computer monitor. However, because of technology differences that exist between printers and monitors, there are
many colors that can also be affected by monitor variations and lighting conditions. For recommendations on how
the printer color sample pages may be useful in solving certain color‑matching problems, see the question, “How
can I match a particular color (such as a corporate logo)?”
The printed page appears tinted. Can I adjust the color?
Sometimes a printed page may appear tinted (for example, everything printed seems to be too red). This can be
caused by environmental conditions, paper type, lighting conditions, or user preference. In these instances, adjust
the Color Balance setting to create a more preferable color. Color Balance provides the user with the ability to make
subtle adjustments to the amount of toner being used in each color plane. Selecting positive or negative values for
cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (from the Color Balance menu) will slightly increase or decrease the amount of
toner used for the chosen color. For example, if a printed page has a red tint, then decreasing both magenta and
yellow could potentially improve the color balance.
My color transparencies seem dark when they are projected. Is there anything I can do to improve the color?
This problem most commonly occurs when projecting transparencies with reflective overhead projectors. To obtain
the highest projected color quality, transmissive overhead projectors are recommended. If a reflective projector
must be used, then adjusting the Toner Darkness setting to 1, 2, or 3 will lighten the transparency. Make sure to print
on the recommended type of color transparencies.
What is manual color correction?
When manual color correction is enabled, the printer employs user‑selected color conversion tables to process
objects. However, Color Correction must be set to Manual, or no user‑defined color conversion will be implemented.
Manual color correction settings are specific to the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images), and how
the color of the object is specified in the software program (RGB or CMYK combinations).
Notes:

• Manual color correction is not useful if the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK
combinations. It is also not effective in situations in which the software program or the computer operating
system controls the adjustment of colors.

• The color conversion tables—applied to each object when Color Correction is set to Auto—generate preferred
colors for the majority of documents.
To manually apply a different color conversion table:

1 From the Quality menu, select Color Correction, and then select Manual.
2 From the Quality menu, select Manual Color, and then select the appropriate color conversion table for the
affected object type.

correction setting.

• Off—No color correction is implemented.
How can I match a particular color (such as a corporate logo)?
From the printer Quality menu, nine types of Color Samples sets are available. These are also available from the Color
Samples page of the Embedded Web Server. Selecting any sample set generates a multiple‑page printout consisting
of hundreds of colored boxes. Either a CMYK or RGB combination is located on each box, depending on the table
selected. The observed color of each box is obtained by passing the CMYK or RGB combination labeled on the box
through the selected color conversion table.
By examining Color Samples sets, a user can identify the box whose color is the closest to the desired color. The color
combination labeled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the object in a software program. For
more information, see the software program Help topics. Manual color correction may be necessary to utilize the
selected color conversion table for the particular object.
Selecting which Color Samples set to use for a particular color‑matching problem depends on the Color Correction
setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual), the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images), and how the
color of the object is specified in the software program (RGB or CMYK combinations). When the printer Color
Correction setting is set to Off, the color is based on the print job information; and no color conversion is implemented.
Note: The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK
combinations. Additionally, certain situations exist in which the software program or the computer operating
system adjusts the RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the program through color management. The resulting
printed color may not be an exact match of the Color Samples pages.
What are detailed Color Samples and how do I access them?
Detailed Color Samples sets are available only through the Embedded Web Server of a network printer. A detailed
Color Samples set contains a range of shades (displayed as colored boxes) that are similar to a user‑defined RGB or
CMYK value. The likeness of the colors in the set are dependent on the value entered in the RGB or CMYK Increment
box.

Troubleshooting

To access a detailed Color Samples set from the Embedded Web Server:

1 Open a Web browser.
2 In the address bar, type the network printer IP address.
3 Click Configuration.
4 Click Color Samples.
5 Click Detailed Options to narrow the set to one color range.
6 When the Detailed Options page appears, select a color conversion table.
7 Enter the RGB or CMYK color number.
8 Enter an Increment value from 1–255.
Note: The closer the value is to 1, the narrower the color sample range will appear.

9 Click Print to print the detailed Color Samples set.

ENERGY STAR

Laser notice
The printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for Class I (1) laser
products, and elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC 60825-1.
Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The printer contains internally a Class IIIb (3b) laser that is
nominally a 5 milliwatt gallium arsenide laser operating in the wavelength of 770-795 nanometers. The laser system
and printer are designed so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a Class I level during normal
operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service condition.

Laser advisory label
A laser notice label may be affixed to this printer as shown:

Description

Power consumption
(Watts)

Low Off (<1 W Off) The product is plugged into a wall outlet, the power switch is turned off,
and the product is in the lowest possible power consumption mode.

NA

Off

110V = .13 W, 220V =
1.15W

The product is plugged into a wall outlet, but the power switch is turned
off.

The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time-averaged measurements. Instantaneous
power draws may be substantially higher than the average.
Values are subject to change. See www.lexmark.com for current values.

Power Saver
This product is designed with an energy-saving mode called Power Saver. The Power Saver Mode is equivalent to the
EPA Sleep Mode. The Power Saver Mode saves energy by lowering power consumption during extended periods of
inactivity. The Power Saver Mode is automatically engaged after this product is not used for a specified period of time,
called the Power Saver Timeout.
Factory default Power Saver Timeout for this product (in minutes):

110V = 45 minutes, 220V = 60 minutes

By using the configuration menus, the Power Saver Timeout can be modified between 1 minute and 240 minutes.
Setting the Power Saver Timeout to a low value reduces energy consumption, but may increase the response time of
the product. Setting the Power Saver Timeout to a high value maintains a fast response, but uses more energy.

Off mode
If this product has an off mode which still consumes a small amount of power, then to completely stop product power
consumption, disconnect the power supply cord from the wall outlet.

Total energy usage
It is sometimes helpful to calculate the total product energy usage. Since power consumption claims are provided in
power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the product spends in each mode in
order to calculate energy usage. The total product energy usage is the sum of each mode's energy usage.

Lexmark International, Inc., Lexington, KY
This limited warranty applies to the United States and Canada. For customers outside the U.S., refer to the countryspecific warranty information that came with your product.
This limited warranty applies to this product only if it was originally purchased for your use, and not for resale, from
Lexmark or a Lexmark Remarketer, referred to in this statement as “Remarketer.”

Notices

Limited warranty
Lexmark warrants that this product:
—Is manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts, which perform like new parts
—Is, during normal use, free from defects in material and workmanship
If this product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, contact a Remarketer or Lexmark for repair
or replacement (at Lexmark's option).
If this product is a feature or option, this statement applies only when that feature or option is used with the product
for which it was intended. To obtain warranty service, you may be required to present the feature or option with the
product.
If you transfer this product to another user, warranty service under the terms of this statement is available to that user
for the remainder of the warranty period. You should transfer proof of original purchase and this statement to that
user.

Limited warranty service
The warranty period starts on the date of original purchase as shown on the purchase receipt and ends 12 months later
provided that the warranty period for any supplies and for any maintenance items included with the printer shall end
earlier if it, or its original contents, are substantially used up, depleted, or consumed.

your product to the Remarketer or Lexmark, or ship it prepaid and suitably packaged to a Lexmark designated location.
You are responsible for loss of, or damage to, a product in transit to the Remarketer or the Lexmark designated location.
When warranty service involves the exchange of a product or part, the item replaced becomes the property of the
Remarketer or Lexmark. The replacement may be a new or repaired item.
The replacement item assumes the remaining warranty period of the original product.
Replacement is not available to you if the product you present for exchange is defaced, altered, in need of a repair not
included in warranty service, damaged beyond repair, or if the product is not free of all legal obligations, restrictions,
liens, and encumbrances.
Before you present this product for warranty service, remove all print cartridges, programs, data, and removable storage
media (unless directed otherwise by Lexmark).
For further explanation of your warranty alternatives and the nearest Lexmark authorized servicer in your area contact
Lexmark on the World Wide Web at www.lexmark.com/support.

—Use of printing media outside of Lexmark specifications
—Refurbishment, repair, refilling or remanufacture by a third party of products, supplies or parts
—Products, supplies, parts, materials (such as toners and inks), software, or interfaces not furnished by Lexmark
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER LEXMARK NOR ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS OR
REMARKETERS MAKE ANY OTHER WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
RESPECT TO THIS PRODUCT, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND SATISFACTORY QUALITY. ANY WARRANTIES THAT
MAY NOT BE DISCLAIMED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER THIS PERIOD. ALL INFORMATION, SPECIFICATIONS, PRICES,
AND SERVICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE.

Limitation of liability
Your sole remedy under this limited warranty is set forth in this document. For any claim concerning performance or
nonperformance of Lexmark or a Remarketer for this product under this limited warranty, you may recover actual
damages up to the limit set forth in the following paragraph.
Lexmark's liability for actual damages from any cause whatsoever will be limited to the amount you paid for the product
that caused the damages. This limitation of liability will not apply to claims by you for bodily injury or damage to real
property or tangible personal property for which Lexmark is legally liable. IN NO EVENT WILL LEXMARK BE LIABLE FOR
ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, INCIDENTAL DAMAGE, OR OTHER ECONOMIC OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
This is true even if you advise Lexmark or a Remarketer of the possibility of such damages. Lexmark is not liable for any
claim by you based on a third party claim.
This limitation of remedies also applies to claims against any Suppliers and Remarketers of Lexmark. Lexmark's and its
Suppliers' and Remarketers' limitations of remedies are not cumulative. Such Suppliers and Remarketers are intended
beneficiaries of this limitation.

Additional rights
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations or exclusions contained above may not apply to you.
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
