Understanding print media guidelines

Print media is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. The last four are sometimes referred to as specialty
media. The printer provides high-quality printing on a variety of media. A number of things must be considered concerning
print media before printing. This chapter provides information on making print media selections and caring for print media.

Understanding print media guidelines

Selecting print media
Selecting the appropriate print media for the printer helps you avoid printing problems. The following sections contain
guidelines for choosing the correct print media for the printer :
•
•
•
•
•

Paper
Transparencies
Envelopes
Labels
Card stock

Paper
To ensure the best print quality and feed reliability, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, grain long paper. Business papers
designed for general business use may also provide acceptable print quality.
Note: Certain paper types will not print at maximum speed.
Always print several samples before buying large quantities of any type of print media. When choosing print media,
consider the weight, fiber content, and color.
The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of 210°C (410°F) for non-MICR applications. 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 chosen is acceptable for laser printers.
When loading paper, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load paper accordingly. For detailed tray
loading instructions, see the following:
•
•

Loading the 250-sheet tray on page18
Loading the manual feeder on page23

Paper characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. It is recommended that these guidelines are followed
when evaluating new paper stock.
For detailed information, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/
publications.

Weight
The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 9 0 g/m 2 (16 to 2 4 lb bond) grain long in the integrated and
optional trays and paper weights from 60 to 16 3 g/m2 (16 to 4 3 lb bond) grain long in the manual feeder. Paper lighter than
60g/m 2 (16lb) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best performance, use 7 5 g/m2 (20 lb bond)
grain long paper. To use paper narrower than 182x257 mm (7.2x10.1in.), it is recommended that the weight be equal to
90g/m 2 (24lb bond).

Curl
Curl is the tendency of media to curve 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, and dry conditions, even in the trays, can contribute to paper curling prior to printing and can cause feeding problems.
For more information about curl, see Turning on Reduced Curl mode on page52.

Selecting print media
11

Understanding print media guidelines

Smoothness
The degree of smoothness of paper directly affects print quality. If the paper is too rough, the toner does not fuse to the
paper properly, resulting in poor print quality. If the paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues.
Smoothness needs to be between 100 and 300 Sheffield points; however, smoothness between 150 and 250 Sheffield
points produces the best print quality. If you are using paper with a Sheffield point greater than 350 points, change Paper
Type to Rough Cotton. For more information, see “Paper Menu” in the Menus and Messages guide on the Software and
Documentation CD.

Moisture content
The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper properly. Leave
the paper in its original wrapper until it is time to use it. This limits the exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can
degrade its performance.
Condition paper while it is still in the original wrapper. To condition it, store it in the same environment as the printer for 24
to 48 hours before printing to let the paper stabilize in the new conditions. 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 because of the mass of material.

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 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended.

Fiber content
Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically 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 possesses characteristics that can result in degraded paper handling.

Recycled paper
Lexmark supportsUS executive order 13101 which strongly encourages the use of recycled papers in government
agencies. Ask for warranty information and performance claims from your paper supplier, and/or test small quantities before
buying large amounts. A list of suppliers and approved papers used by the US Government Printing Office can be found at
http://www.gpo.gov/qualitycontrol/cpypaper.htm.

Unacceptable paper
The following papers 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 ±0.09 in., such as
optical character recognition (OCR) forms
In some cases, you can adjust registration with your program to successfully print on these forms.

•

Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers

•

Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers or curled paper s

•

Recycled paper having a weight less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb)

•

Multiple-part forms or documents

Selecting print media

Understanding print media guidelines

Selecting paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.
To help avoid jams or poor print quality:
•
•

Always use new, undamaged paper.
Flex the paper stack back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface.

•

Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper. This information is usually indicated on the
paper package.
Make sure the paper stack is laying flat in the tray and is not above the maximum paper fill indicators. Improper
loading may cause jams.
Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.
Do not mix media sizes, weights, or types in the same source; mixing results in jams.
Do not use coated papers unless they are specifically designed for electrophotographic printing.
Do not remove trays while a job is printing or Busy appears on the display.
Make sure the Paper Type, Paper Texture, and Paper Weight settings are correct. (For more information about
these settings, see “Paper Menu” in the Menus and Messages Guide located on the Software and Documentation
CD.)
Make sure the paper is properly loaded in the source.

•
•
•
•
•
•

•

Selecting preprinted forms and letterhead
Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer:
•
•
•

Use grain long papers for best results for 60 to 90 g/m2 weights.
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 withstand temperatures
of 210°C (410°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 should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. When in doubt, contact the paper
supplier.
Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°F) without melting or
releasing hazardous emissions.

Selecting print media
13

Understanding print media guidelines

Printing on 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 table for help when loading letterhead in the
media sources.

Transparencies
Feed transparencies from the 250-sheet tray or the manual feeder. Try a sample of any transparencies being considered for
use with the printer before buying large quantities.
When printing on transparencies:
•

Be sure to set the Paper Type to Transparency to avoid damaging the printer.

•

Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand
temperatures of 175°C (350°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.

•

To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.

•

Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

Selecting transparencies
The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the
transparency used. Always print samples on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.
We recommend Lexmark part number 70X7240 letter-size transparency and Lexmark part number 12A5010 for A4-size
transparency.
The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. (For detailed information about this setting, see
“Paper Type” on the Software and Documentation CD.) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the
transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 175°C (350°F). Use only transparencies that
are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. For
detailed information, see the Card Stock & Label Guide, available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/
publications.
Transparencies can be fed automatically from the paper trays or manually from the manual feeder. For information about
transparency compatibility with input bins, see What types of print media can be loaded? on page10.
Be careful when you handle transparencies. Fingerprints on the surface of the transparency cause poor print quality.

Selecting print media
14

Understanding print media guidelines

Envelopes
Try a sample of any envelope you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities. For instructions on
loading envelopes, see Loading the manual feeder on page23 .
When printing on envelopes:
•
•
•

•
•

•

•
•
•

To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser
printers.
Set the Paper Source in the Paper menu based on the source in use, set the Paper Type to Envelope, and select
the correct envelope size from the control panel, the printer driver, or from MarkVision Professional.
For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper. Use up to 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond) weight for
the manual feeder as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. Envelopes with 100% cotton content must not
exceed 75 g/m 2 (20 lb) weight.
Use only new, undamaged envelopes.
For best performance and to minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:
– Have excessive curl or twist.
– Are stuck together or damaged in any way.
– Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts or embossing.
– Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.
– Have an interlocking design.
– Have postage stamps attached.
– Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position.
– Have nicked edges or bent corners.
– Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes.
Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 175°C (350°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering using, check with
the envelope supplier.
Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelope.
Load only one envelope at a time.
A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.

Labels
The printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers, except for vinyl labels. These labels are supplied
in letter-size, A4-size, and legal-size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to
withstand temperatures of 210°C (410°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
Try a sample of any label you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity.
When printing on labels:
•

Set the Paper Type menu item to Labels in the Paper menu. Set the Paper Type from the printer control panel, the
printer driver, or from MarkVision Professional.

•

Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same source; mixing media can cause feeding
problems.

•

Do not use label sheets with a 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.

•

Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 210°C (410°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.

•

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.

Selecting print media
15

Understanding print media guidelines

•

Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. 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 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip on the leading and driver edge, and
use a non-oozing adhesive.

•

Remove a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer.

•

Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.

•

Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.

•

Do not use vinyl labels.

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.

Card stock
Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content, thickness, and texture, that can
significantly affect print quality. For information on the preferred weight and for grain direction of print media, see What
types of print media can be loaded? on page10 .
Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity.
When printing on card stock:
•
•

Cardstock can only be printed from the Manual Feeder.
Set the Paper Type menu item in the Paper Menu to Card Stock from the control panel, from the printer driver, or
from MarkVision Professional. Set the Paper Weight to CardStock Weight, and select the CardStock Weight as
Normal or Heavy for the value. Set this from the control panel, the printer driver, or from MarkVision Professional.
Use Heavy for card stock weighing more than or heavier than 163 g/m 2 (90 lb).

•

Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality and cause print media
handling or jamming problems.

•

Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.

•

Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting
introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer.
The use of grain short card stock is recommended.

•

Storing print media
Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality:
•

For best results, store media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 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 a relative
humidity of 40 to 60%.

•

Store cartons of media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.

•

When storing individual packages of media out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so the
edges do not buckle or curl.

•

Do not place anything on top of the media packages.

•

Store paper in its original wrapper until you load it into the printer.

Understanding print media guidelines

Avoiding jams
Use appropriate print media (paper, transparencies, labels, and card stock) to help ensure trouble-free printing. For more
information, see What types of print media can be loaded? on page10.
Note: Try a limited sample of any print media you are considering using with the printer before purchasing
large quantities.
By selecting the appropriate print media and loading it properly, you can avoid most jams. For detailed tray loading
instructions, see the following:
•
•

Loading the 250-sheet tray on page18
Loading the manual feeder on page23

The following hints can help you avoid jams:
•

Use only recommended print media.

•

Do not overload the print media sources. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the maximum height
indicated by the stack line on the labels in the sources.

•

Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.

•

Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If jams do occur with print media, try feeding one sheet at
a time through the manual feeder.

•

Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed yourself.

•

Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.

•

Make sure the recommended print side is loaded in the source according to your simplex or duplex needs.

•

Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. For more information, see Storing print media on
page16.

•

Do not remove trays during a print job.

•

Push all trays in firmly after loading them.

•

Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size of print media you have loaded. Make sure
the guides are not placed too tightly against the stack of print media.

Printing

This chapter covers information about loading print media, sending a job to print, printing confidential jobs, canceling a print
job, printing a menu settings page, and printing a font list. For tips on paper jam prevention and print media storage, see
Avoiding jams on page17 or Storing print media on page16.

Loading the 250-sheet tray
Your printer has a 250-sheet tray. You may have also purchased an optional 250-sheet drawer or 550-sheet drawer. Print
media is loaded into both components in the same way.
To load print media:
Note: Do not remove a tray when a job is printing or when the control panel indicator light is blinking. Doing
so may cause a jam .

2

Adjust the rear paper guide, to the correct position for the size print media you are loading.
Note: There should be a slight gap between the rear paper guide and the paper stack.

3

Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, then fan them. Do not fold or crease the print media. Straighten the
edges of the paper stack on a level surface.

4

Insert the paper stack.

Note: Make sure the paper stack is laying flat in the tray and is not above the maximum paper fill indicators.
Improper loading may cause jams.
Note: For simplex printing load letterhead paper with the design side facing down. The top edge of the sheet
with the logo should be placed at the front of the tray. For duplex printing load letterhead paper with
the design side facing up.

Loading the manual feeder
The manual feeder is located at the front of the printer and can only feed one sheet of print media at a time. For information
on acceptable print media to use in the manual feeder, see What types of print media can be loaded? on page10.
To load the manual feeder:

1

Place a sheet of the selected print media, print side
facing up, at the center of the manual feeder, but only to
the point where its leading edge can contact the paper
guides. Otherwise, the printer will engage the print
media too soon and likely skew the print job.

2

Adjust the guides to the print media width.

3

Hold both sides of the print media close to the manual
feeder, and push it into the printer until it automatically
engages.
There is a brief pause between the time the printer
engages the print media and when it feeds into the
printer.
Note: Do not force the print media into the
feeder. Forcing the media causes jams.

•

Insert envelopes with the flap side down and with the
stamp area as shown.

•

Hold transparencies by the edges, and avoid touching the print side. Oil from your fingers can affect print quality.

•

For simplex printing, load letterhead faceup, with the top of the sheet entering first. For duplex printing, load
letterhead facedown, with the top of the sheet entering first.

Printing

Linking trays
Tray linking enables the automatic linking feature for trays when you load the same size and type of print media in multiple
sources. The printer automatically links the trays; when one tray is empty, print media feeds from the next linked tray.
For example, if you have the same size and type of print media loaded in the 250-sheet tray and the optional 550-sheet
drawer, the printer selects print media from the 250-sheet tray until it becomes empty, and then the printer automatically
feeds print media from the next linked source—the optional 550-sheet drawer.
If you load the same size print media in each paper source, make sure the print media is all the same type in order to link
the trays.
To set the paper type or size:

to save.

Once the trays you selected are loaded with the same size and type of print media, select the same Paper Type setting in
the Paper menu for these sources.
To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type to a unique value in each of the trays. If all the trays do not have the same type of
print media when they are linked, you could mistakenly print a job on the wrong paper type.

Sending a job to print
A printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with your printer. When you choose Print from a program,
a window representing the printer driver opens. You can then select the appropriate settings for the specific job you are
sending to the printer. Print settings selected from the driver override the default settings selected from the printer control
panel.
You may need to click Properties or Setup from the initial Print dialog to see all of the available printer settings you can
change. If you are not familiar with a feature in the printer driver window, open the online Help for more information.
To support all the printer features, use the Lexmark custom printer drivers supplied with your printer. Updated drivers, as
well as a complete description of the driver packages and Lexmark driver support, are available from the Lexmark Web site.
You can also use the system drivers built into your operating system.
To print a job from a typical Windows application:

1

With a document open, click File à Print.

2

Select the correct printer in the dialog. Modify the printer settings as appropriate (such as the pages you want to
print or the number of copies).

Photoconductor kit end-of-life
To ensure print quality and to avoid damage to the printer, the printer stops operating after the photoconductor kit has
reached a maximum of 110% of its life. The message 84 Replace Photoconductor is displayed when the printer reaches
this point. If the Toner Alarm setting is set to Single or Continuous (default is Off), the printer automatically notifies you
before the photoconductor kit reaches this point and displays the message 84 Photoconductor Life Warning. To avoid
having the printer stop operating, replace the photoconductor kit when you first receive the 84 Photoconductor Life
Warning message. While the printer may continue to function properly after the photoconductor kit has reached its official
end-of-life (approximately 30,000 pages), print quality begins to significantly decrease until the photoconductor stops

Clearing jams

By carefully selecting print media and loading it properly, you should be able to avoid most paper jams. For more
information on avoiding paper jams, see Avoiding jams on page17. If jams do occur, follow the steps outlined in this
section.
To resolve the paper jam messages, you must clear the entire paper path, and then press
to clear the message and
resume printing. The printer prints a new copy of the page that jammed if Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto; however, the
Auto setting does not guarantee the page will print.

Identifying jams
When the printer jams, the appropriate jam message appears on the printer control panel.

Understanding jam messages
The following table lists the jam messages that can occur and the action necessary to clear the message. The jam
message indicates the area where the jam occurred. However, it is best to clear the entire paper path to ensure you have

Online customer support
Customer support is available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.

Calling for service
When you call for printer service, describe the problem you are experiencing, the message on the display, and the
troubleshooting steps you have already taken to find a solution.
You need to know your printer model type and serial number. See the label on the printer for this information.
The serial number is also listed on the menu settings page. For more information, see Printing the menu settings page
on page26.
Note: For service in the U.S. or Canada, call 1-800-Lexmark (1-800-539-6275). See the Lexmark Web site
at www.lexmark.com for the numbers for other countries/regions. When calling for service, call from
the location of the printer.

Checking an unresponsive printer
If your printer is not responding, first make sure:
•
•
•
•
•
•

The power cord is plugged into the printer and a properly grounded electrical outlet.
The electrical outlet is not turned off by any switch or breaker.
The printer is not plugged into any surge protectors, uninterrupted power supplies, or extension cords.
Other electrical equipment plugged into the outlet is working.
The printer is turned on.
The printer cable is securely attached to the printer and the host computer, print server, option, or other network
device.

Once you have checked each of these possibilities, turn the printer off and back on. This often fixes the problem.

Lexmark Status Messenger Utility
Note: This application is not available with Windows NT or Windows 2000.
The Lexmark Status Messenger informs you when there are errors requiring printer intervention. When a printer error
occurs, a message appears on your computer screen telling you what the error is, and points you to the appropriate
recovery information in the User’s Guide.
If you installed the Lexmark Status Messenger with your printer software, the utility automatically launches when the
software installation is completed.

The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time-averaged measurements. Instantaneous power draws may be
substantially higher than the average. Sleep / Power Saver mode can be modified from the printer control panel. The default time out to Sleep
/ Power Saver mode is 30 minutes. For more information, see the Menus and Messages guide on the Software and Documentation CD.

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 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.
