Holding a job in the printer

When sending a job to the printer, you can specify in the driver that you want the printer to hold the job
in memory. When you are ready to print the job, you must go to the printer and use the operator panel
menus to identify which held job you want to print.
Note: Print and Hold functions require a minimum of 16MB available printer memory. We
recommend a minimum of 32MB available printer memory and a hard disk.
To learn more about this function, click a topic:

• Verifying print jobs

• Printing confidential jobs

• Reserving print jobs

Printing and deleting held jobs
Once held jobs are stored in printer memory, you can use the printer operator panel to specify what
you want to do with one or more of the jobs. You can select either Confidential Job or Held Jobs
(Repeat Print, Reserve Print, and Verify Print jobs) from the Job Menu. If you select Confidential Job,
you must enter the personal identification number (PIN) you specified in the driver when you sent the
job. See Confidential jobs for more information.
From either the Confidential Job or the Held Jobs menu items, you have five choices:

•

Print All Jobs

•

Print A Job

•

Delete All Jobs

•

Delete A Job

•

Print Copies

Accessing held jobs from the operator panel
1 To access held jobs from the operator panel:
–
–

If the printer is Busy, press Menu and the Job Menu appears.
If the printer is Ready, continue to step 2.

2 Press Menu until you see Held Jobs or Confidential Job on the operator panel display,
depending on the type of job you want to access.

3 Press Select.
User Name appears on the first line of the operator panel. The second line displays the names
of users currently associated with Print and Hold jobs.

4 Press Menu until you see your user name.
Note: If you are looking for a Confidential Job, you are prompted to enter your PIN. See
Confidential jobs for more information.

5 Press Select.
6 Press Menu until the action you want to take is on the second line of the operator panel (Print
A Job, Delete A Job, and so on).

7 Press Select.
–

–

If you are looking for a particular job, press Menu to scroll through the list of available jobs,
and press Select when the correct job is displayed. An asterisk (*) appears next to the job
name indicating you have chosen to print or delete that job.
If you are prompted to enter the number of copies you want to print, use the Menu button
to increase or decrease the number on the display, and then press Select.

8 Press Go to print or delete specific jobs you have marked.
The printer briefly shows messages indicating what Print and Hold functions it is performing.

Recognizing when format errors occur
If the symbol appears on the display, it indicates that the printer had trouble formatting one or more
of the held jobs. These formatting problems are most commonly the result of insufficient printer
memory or invalid data that might cause the printer to flush the job.
When a

symbol appears next to a held job, you can:

•

Print the job. Be aware, however, that only part of the job may print.

•

Delete the job. You may want to free up additional printer memory by scrolling through the list
of held jobs and deleting others you have sent to the printer.

If formatting errors are a recurring problem with held jobs, your printer may require more memory.

Repeat Print
If 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.
Note: Repeat Print jobs are automatically deleted from printer memory when the printer
requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.

Reserve Print
If you send a Reserve Print job, the printer does not print the job immediately, but 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. Reserve Print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to process additional
held jobs.
See Printing and deleting held jobs for information.

Verify Print
If you send a Verify Print job, the printer prints one copy and holds the remaining copies you requested
from the driver in printer memory. Use Verify Print to examine the first copy to see if it is satisfactory
before printing the remaining copies.
See Printing and deleting held jobs if you need help printing the additional copies stored in memory.
Note: Once all copies are printed, the Verify Print job is deleted from printer memory.

Confidential jobs
When you send a job to the printer, you can enter a personal identification number (PIN) from the
driver. The PIN must be four digits using the numbers 1–6. The job is then held in printer memory until
you enter the same four-digit PIN from the printer operator panel and choose to print or delete the job.
This ensures that the job does not print until you are there to retrieve it, and no one else using the
printer can print the job.

When you select Confidential Job from the Job Menu and then select your user name, the following
prompt is displayed:
Enter PIN:
=____
Use the buttons on the operator panel to enter the four-digit PIN associated with your confidential job.
The numbers next to the button names identify which button to press for each digit (1–6). As you enter
the PIN, asterisks are displayed on the operator panel to ensure confidentiality.

Enter PIN
=****

If you enter an invalid PIN, the message No Jobs Found. Retry? appears. Press Go to reenter the
PIN, or press Stop to exit the Confidential Job menu.
When you enter a valid PIN, you have access to all print jobs matching the user name and PIN you
entered. The print jobs matching the PIN you entered appear on the display when you enter the Print A
Job, Delete A Job, and Print Copies menu items. You can then choose to print or delete jobs matching
the PIN you entered. (See Printing and deleting held jobs for more information.) After printing the
job, the printer deletes the confidential job from memory.

Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.

5 Place the paper against the back left corner of the tray, print side down.
Do not load bent or wrinkled paper.

Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the tray may cause jams.

6 Squeeze the front guide lever and slide the guide until it lightly touches the stack of paper.

7 Reinstall the tray.
Make sure the tray is pushed completely into the printer.

Loading the 2000-sheet tray
Follow these instructions to load a 2000-sheet tray. Do not load any print media other than paper in the
2000-sheet tray.

1 Pull open the tray.

2 Squeeze the side guide lever, lift the guide, and place it into the appropriate slot for the size
paper you are loading.

3 Squeeze the two front guide levers and slide the guide to the correct position for the size
paper you are loading.

4 Slide the bottom support toward the front of the tray until it touches the front guide.

5 Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them.

6 Place the paper against the back left corner of the tray, print side down.
Do not load bent or wrinkled print media.

7 Close the tray.
Make sure the tray is pushed completely into the printer.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the tray may cause paper
jams.

Loading the multipurpose feeder

You can use the multipurpose feeder one of two ways:

•

Paper tray—As a paper tray, you can load print media in the feeder with the intention of
leaving the media in the feeder.

•

Manual bypass feeder—As a manual bypass feeder, you send a print job to the feeder while
specifying the type and size of media from your computer. The printer then prompts you to
load the appropriate print media before it prints.

Follow these instructions to load the multipurpose feeder.

1 Open the multipurpose feeder.

2 Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide all the way toward the front of the printer.

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

4 Arrange the stack of print media correctly for the size, type, and print method you are using.

5 Place the print media, print side up, along the left side of the multipurpose feeder, and then
push it in as far as it will go.
Do not force the print media.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the feeder may cause jams.

6 Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide until it lightly touches the side of the stack.

10
•

Linking trays
If you load the same size and type of paper or specialty media in more than one tray, the
printer automatically links the trays. This means that when one tray is empty, it feeds from the
next linked tray.
For example, if you have the same size and type of paper or specialty media loaded in tray 2
and tray 4, the printer feeds from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then it feeds from the next
linked tray—tray 4.

•

If you load the same size paper or specialty media in each tray, make sure it is also all the
same type to link the trays.
Once the trays you selected are loaded with the same size and type of paper or specialty
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 one of the trays.
Note: To link trays loaded with Executive, Legal, JIS B4, or JIS B5 size paper, see Size
Sensing.

Linking bins

If you attach an optional finisher or mailbox to your printer, you can link output bins, or otherwise
specify how the printer sends jobs to the bins, by changing the Configure Bins settings in the Paper
Menu.
Value

Description

Mailbox

Lets you select an output bin when you send a job to print. (If you
prefer, you can select a default output bin for all print jobs to go to.)
The printer alerts you when the bin you selected becomes full, and
stops printing until you empty the bin.

Link

Links all available bins so that when one bin becomes full, the printer
sends jobs to the next linked bin.

Mail Overflow*

Sends jobs automatically to a preassigned overflow bin when the
current bin becomes full.

Type Assignment

Lets you assign different types of media to specific output bins or set of
linked bins. The printer then sends all printed media to the bin or set of
linked bins that you designated to receive each type of paper or
specialty media.

Only available if you have attached an optional mailbox.

To change the Configure Bins setting:

1 Press Menu until you see Paper Menu, and then press Select.
2 Press Menu until you see Configure Bins, and then press Select. Mailbox appears on the
second line of the display.

3 Press Menu until you see the value you want, and then press Select to save the value as the
bin configuration default.

4 Press Go to return the printer to the Ready state.
For more information, see Configure Bins and Bin Full.

Tips for successful printing

Storing paper
Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.

•

Store paper in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the
relative humidity is 40%.

•

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

•

If you store individual packages of paper 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 paper packages.

Storing supplies
Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original
packaging until you are ready to use them.
Do not expose supplies to:

•
•
•
•
•
•

Direct sunlight
Temperatures above 35°C (95°F)
High humidity (above 80%)
Salty air
Corrosive gases
Heavy dust

Avoiding jams
You can avoid most paper jams by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer.
See the following for loading instructions:

•

Loading the 500-sheet trays

•

Loading the 2000-sheet tray

•

Loading the multipurpose feeder

The following hints can help you avoid paper jams:

•

Use only recommended paper. Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on Lexmark’s
Web site at www.lexmark.com for more information about which paper provides optimum
results for your printing environment.

•

If you need detailed information before purchasing large quantities of customized paper, refer
to the Card Stock & Label Guide.

•

Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper.

•

Flex, fan, and straighten paper before you load it.

•

Do not overload the trays or the multipurpose feeder. Make sure the stack height does not
exceed the maximum height indicated.

•

Push all trays firmly into the printer after loading them.

•

Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size paper you have loaded.

•

Do not load paper in a tray while a job is printing. Wait for a Load Tray message before
you remove the tray from the printer.
You may remove another tray and load it so long as the print job is not selecting the paper
from it.

•

Do not send jobs to staple, hole punch, or offset for transparencies, labels, or card stock.

•

We recommend that transparencies, labels, card stock, and envelopes not be sent to the
optional mailbox or optional finisher. These specialty media types should be sent to the
standard bin.

•

If an optional finisher or mailbox is attached to your printer, make sure the printer and option
are correctly aligned. Refer to the Setup Guide for alignment instructions.

•

Make sure all cables that connect the duplex unit, high capacity feeder, finisher, or mailbox to
the printer are correctly attached. Refer to the Setup Guide for more information.

•

If a jam should occur, clear the entire paper path. See Clearing the paper path for more
information.

Checking an unresponsive printer

Sometimes printer problems are very easy to solve. 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.
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.

Understanding jam messages

Always clear the entire paper path when you receive any jam message.

Solving print quality problems

You can solve many print quality problems by replacing a supply or maintenance item that has
reached the end of its intended life. Check the operator panel for a message about a printer
consumable. See Determining the status of supplies for information about other ways to identify
consumables that need to be replaced.

Configuring printer alerts

You can configure the printer several ways to let you know when it requires attention.

Using the Setup Menu
Menu item

Function

Value

Result

Alarm Control

Lets you establish whether
the printer sounds an alarm
when it requires operator
intervention.

Off

The alarm does not sound, but printing
stops until the interventions are
cleared.*

Single

The printer stops printing, displays a
message, and activates the selected
alarm type.

Continuous
Toner Alarm

Lets you choose how the
printer responds when
toner is low.

Off

The printer displays a message and
continues printing.

Single

The printer stops printing, displays a
message, and activates the selected
alarm type.

Continuous

If multiple attendance conditions are pending, the alarm only sounds when the first message is displayed. No
additional alarms sound as subsequent attendance conditions arise.

Selecting Auto Continue may affect how the printer alerts execute. This setting defines how long the
printer waits after displaying a message before it resumes printing.

Using MarkVision Professional
MarkVision™ Professional, Lexmark’s network printer management utility, indicates when it is time to
replace supplies and points out actual or potential problems. When a printer needs attention, it alerts
the network administrator with a detailed graphic of the printer showing the cause for the alert (for
example, an empty paper tray). For more information about MarkVision Professional, refer to the
drivers CD that shipped with your printer.

Using MarkVision Messenger
MarkVision Messenger lets you create Actions that execute specific commands whenever messages
like Tray x Missing or 88 Toner Low appear on the display. For example, you can create an Action
that sends an e-mail to the administrator when the printer runs out of paper.
Actions can be set up to occur automatically, as well as conditionally or repeatedly. For more
information about MarkVision Messenger, refer to the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.

Determining the status of supplies

To determine the status of all of the consumables installed in your printer, print the menu settings
page.
See Printing a menu settings page for detailed instructions.
One or two pages print depending on the number of menu settings you have. Look for “Consumable
Status” on the page; the percentage of life remaining for each of the items is indicated.

Size Sensing

The Size Sensing menu item lets you disable or enable auto size sensing on trays. Size Sensing also
lets the printer detect the difference between similar paper sizes that it otherwise cannot.
Note: If you load both Executive and JIS B5 size paper, or Legal and JIS B4 size paper,
load one size in the multipurpose feeder. Do not use two trays when you load these
similar sizes of paper.

Enabling size sensing
To instruct the printer to sense Executive or JIS B5:

printer returns to the Ready message.

Size sensing and tray linking
If you want to link printer trays and have selected to load Executive or JIS B5 size paper, complete the
steps beginning on page 47 of this topic to specify the size you want the printer to sense. Then, if you
load JIS B5 in trays 1 through 3, for example, those trays are linked. If one tray runs out of JIS B5, the
printer automatically selects JIS B5 from another one of these trays. See Linking trays for more
information.

Understanding fonts

Resident fonts
Your printer is equipped with resident fonts stored permanently in printer memory. Different fonts are
available in PCL 6 and PostScript 3 emulations. Some of the most popular typefaces, like Courier and
Times New Roman, are available for all printer languages.
The fonts in the PCL emulation are compatible with the fonts in the HP4500 and include four additional
fonts and many extra symbol sets to support extra languages and applications. The fonts in the
PostScript emulation are compatible with Adobe PostScript 3 and include 20 additional fonts.
The following tables list all the fonts resident in your printer. See Printing sample fonts for
instructions on how to print samples of the fonts. You can select the resident fonts from your software
application, or from the operator panel if you are using PCL 6 emulation.

Symbol sets
A symbol set is an encoded collection of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and special
characters available in the font you select. Symbol sets support the requirements for different
languages or specific applications, such as math symbols used for scientific text.
The symbol set encoding also defines which character will print for each key on the keyboard (or more
specifically, for each code point). Some applications require different characters at some code points.
To support multiple applications and languages, your printer has 83 symbol sets for the resident PCL 6
emulation fonts.

Symbol sets for PCL 6 emulation
Not all fonts support all of the symbol sets listed in Downloadable fonts. Refer to the Technical
Reference to determine which symbols sets are supported by each font name.
