Using the Local Printer Settings Utility

The Local Printer Settings Utility lets you change printer settings not available from your printer driver

(for example, activating Alarm Control if you want the printer to sound an alarm when it needs

attention). To access the Local Printer Settings Utility from the computer software application, select

Start Æ All Programs Æ Lexmark Æ Local Printer Settings Utility.

If you selected the Custom install path from your drivers CD, you must go back to your drivers CD

and click View Documentation for instructions on installing and using the Local Printer Settings

Utility.

What types of print media can be loaded?

Get the most from your printer by properly loading the trays. Never mix media types within a tray.

Note: It is recommended that print media smaller than 8 1/2 x 11 in. be loaded with the

short edge toward the front of the tray.

Where can print media be loaded in the printer?

Your printer has two standard paper sources: a 250-sheet tray and a single-sheet manual feeder.

Use the 250-sheet tray for most print jobs. Use the manual feeder for a single piece of paper,

transparency, envelope, paper label, card stock, or index card. You can increase paper capacity by

purchasing an optional 550-sheet drawer.

The output bin on top of the printer holds up to 150 sheets. The single-sheet rear exit provides a

straight-through path to help reduce curling and potential jams. This is especially useful for specialty

media, such as transparencies, envelopes, paper labels, card stock, or index cards.

Loading the 250-sheet tray

Follow these instructions to load paper in the 250-sheet tray.

1Remove the 250-sheet tray.

Note: To load legal- or folio-size paper, extend the length of the tray. For more information,

see “Extending the tray for legal- or folio-size paper” on page 12.

Loading the 250-sheet tray

2Prepare a paper stack for loading by flexing and fanning it back and forth. Straighten the

edges on a level surface.

3Adjust the rear paper guide for the print media size you will be loading.

Note: There should be a slight gap between the rear paper guide and the paper stack.

4Insert the paper stack with the print side facing down.

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.

5Adjust the side paper guides to fit lightly against the paper stack.

6Insert the 250-sheet tray.

7Extend the paper support on the output bin.

Loading the 250-sheet tray

Extending the tray for legal- or folio-size paper

To load legal- or folio-size paper, extend the tray. You may also attach a dust cover (if available on

your printer model) on the back of the printer to protect the tray while it is extended.

1Press down on the latch at the back of the tray, and expand the tray until the extender locks

into place.

Attaching the dust cover

The dust cover helps protect the tray from the environment. It also keeps the tray from being knocked

out of position while it is extended.

Attach the dust cover to the back of the printer by aligning the tabs on the cover to the holes on the

printer, then snap the cover into place.

Note: This feature may not be available for some models.

Loading the 250-sheet tray

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. You can use the manual feeder to make quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not

currently loaded in the tray. You must set the paper size before using the manual feeder. For more

information, see your driver CD, or see “Using the Local Printer Settings Utility” on page 7.

For information on acceptable print media to use in the manual feeder, see “What types of print

media can be loaded?” on page 8. Using only the specified print media helps prevent paper jams and

print-quality problems.

To load the manual feeder:

1Place 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.

2Adjust the paper guides to the print

media width.

3Hold 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.

•Load letterhead faceup, with the top of the sheet entering first.

Using the rear exit

The single-sheet rear exit provides a straight-through paper path to help reduce curling and potential

jams. This is especially useful for specialty media, such as transparencies, labels, card stock, or

index cards.

To use the rear exit, open the rear exit door. When the rear exit door is open, all print media comes

out the rear exit. When closed, all media is sent to the output bin on top of the printer.

Note: If you print a multiple-page job with the rear exit door open, the print speed may

slow down.

Canceling a print job

A print job can be canceled from the control panel or from your computer. The Cancel job light

sequence is displayed on the control panel while the job is being canceled.

Press and release Cancel to cancel the job currently printing.

Clearing jams

When a paper jam occurs, the printer stops and the control panel Paper Jam and

Continue lights come on. For more information, see the Software and Documentation CD that

came with your printer.

We recommend clearing the entire paper path when a paper jam occurs.

1Remove all paper from the 150-sheet output bin.

2If you are feeding paper from the 250-sheet tray, remove the tray.

3Remove the jammed pages.

Clearing jams

4With the tray removed, press down on the green duplex flap to remove the jammed pages

from the duplex area.

5Install the 250-sheet tray.

6Open the front door, and remove the print cartridge assembly.

Clearing jams

7Lift the green flap at the front of the printer, and remove the jammed pages from behind the

flap.

8Open the rear exit door, and remove the jammed pages.

9After you have cleared the jammed pages, reinstall the print cartridge assembly, and securely

close all the printer doors.

10 Press Continue to resume printing.

Note: Jam recovery is set to Auto by default. When jam recovery is set to Auto, the

memory that holds the image of a page may be reused after the page is printed but

before it has successfully exited the printer if that memory is needed for another

use. Therefore, a jammed page may or may not be reprinted, depending on the

overall memory usage of the printer.

CAUTION:The fuser or fuser area may be hot.
