7Align the tray, and insert it.
8If a different type of paper was loaded than the type previously loaded in the tray, change the Paper Type setting
for the tray from the control panel.
Using A5 or statement paper sizes
The paper trays cannot distinguish between A5- (148 x 210 mm) and statement-size (140 x 216 mm) paper when
both sizes are loaded in the paper trays. From the Size Sensing menu, specify which size you want the printer to
detect. Load either A5- or statement-size paper in the paper trays, but not both.
Note: The multipurpose feeder does not use auto-size sensing and can support both A5- and statement-size print
jobs. The Size Sensing setting does not affect the multipurpose feeder settings.
1Load either A5- or statement-size paper in a paper tray.
2Turn the printer off.
3Hold down and while turning the printer on.

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 <x>)
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 <x>, 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: 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.

Changing a Custom Type <x> name
You can use the Embedded Web Server or MarkVisionTM to define a name other than Custom Type <x> for each
of the custom paper types that are loaded. When a Custom Type <x> name is changed, the menus display the new
name instead of Custom Type <x>.
To change a Custom Type <x> name from the Embedded Web Server:
1Open a Web browser.

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/m2,
grain short is recommended.
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.
43
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.
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.
44

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.
Loading letterhead in the 520-sheet trays

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.
46
•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 windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
–Have metal clasps, string ties, or 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 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.
47
•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:
1Set the Paper Type to Card Stock.
2Select a Card Stock Texture setting.
•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.

•When “Copy from” is set to Auto Size Sense, the scanner automatically determines the size of the original
document.
63

Copy to
This option opens a screen where you can enter the size and type of paper on which your copies will be printed.
•Touch a paper size button to select it as the “Copy to” setting. The copy screen appears with your new setting
displayed.
•If the size settings for “Copy from” and “Copy to” are different, the printer automatically adjusts the Scale setting
to accommodate the difference.
•If the type or size of paper that you want to copy onto is not loaded in one of the trays, touch Manual Feeder,
and manually send the paper through the multipurpose feeder.
•When “Copy to” is set to Auto Size Match, each copy matches the size of the original document. If a matching
paper size is not in one of the trays, the printer scales each copy to fit loaded paper.
Scale
This option creates an image from your copy that is proportionally scaled anywhere between 25% and 400%. Scale
can also be set for you automatically.
•When you want to copy from one size of paper to another, such as from legal-size to letter-size paper, setting
the “Copy from” and “Copy to” paper sizes automatically changes the scale to keep all the original document
information on your copy.
•Touch to decrease the value by 1%; touch to increase the value by 1%.
•Hold your finger on an arrow to make a continuous increment.

Color
Touching the Color button tells the printer to copy the original document in color.
Photo
Touching the Photo button tells the printer to pay extra attention to shading or tones.
Note: To copy a color image, make sure the color button is also selected.
Sides (Duplex)
Use this option to select duplex settings. You can print copies on one or two sides, make two-sided copies (duplex)
of two-sided original documents, make two-sided copies from one-sided original documents, or make one-sided
copies (simplex) from two-sided original documents.
Note: For two-sided output, you must have a duplex unit attached to the printer.
Collate
This option keeps the pages of a print job stacked in sequence when printing multiple copies of the document. The
factory default setting for Collate is on; the output pages of your copies will be ordered (1,2,3) (1,2,3) (1,2,3). If you

Options
Touching the Options button opens a screen where you can change Paper Saver, Advanced Imaging, Separator
Sheets, Margin Shift, Edge Erase, Date/Time Stamp, Overlay, Content, and Advanced Duplex settings.
64
Paper Saver
This option lets you print two or more sheets of an original document together on the same page. Paper Saver is
also called N-up printing. The N stands for Number. For example, 2-up would print two pages of your document on
a single page, and 4-up would print four pages of your document on a single page. Touching Print Page Borders
adds or removes the outline border surrounding the original document pages on the output page.
Create Booklet
This option creates a sequence of collated output that, when folded or folded and stapled, forms a booklet half the
page size of the original document and with all the pages in order.
Note: To use Create Booklet, you must have a duplex unit attached to the printer.
Advanced Imaging
This option lets you adjust Background Removal, Contrast, Shadow Detail, Scan Edge to Edge, Color Balance, and
mirror image before you copy the document.
Custom Job (Job Build)
This option combines multiple scanning jobs into a single job.
Separator Sheets
This option places a blank piece of paper between copies, pages, and print jobs. The separator sheets can be drawn
from a tray that contains a type or color of paper that is different from the paper your copies are printed on.
Margin Shift
This option increases the size of the margin a specified distance. This can be useful in providing space to bind or
hole-punch copies. Use the increase or decrease arrows to set how much of a margin you want. If the additional
margin is too large, the copy will be cropped.
Edge Erase
This option eliminates smudges or information around the edges of your document. You can choose to eliminate an
equal area around all four sides of the paper, or pick a particular edge. Edge Erase erases whatever is within the
selected area, leaving nothing printed on that portion of the paper.
Date/Time Stamp
This option turns the Date/Time Stamp on and prints the date and time at the top of every page.
Overlay
This option creates a watermark (or message) that overlays the content of your copy. You can choose between
Urgent, Confidential, Copy, and Draft. The word you pick will appear, faintly, in large print across each page.
Note: A custom overlay can be created by your system support person. When a custom overlay is created, a button
with an icon of that overlay will be available.
Content
This option enhances copy quality. Choose from Text, Text/Photo, Photograph, or Printed Image.
•Text—Use this setting when copying original documents that are mostly text or line art.

and preserving images copied from the original document is not a
concern.
•Text mode is recommended for receipts, carbon copy forms, and
documents that contain only text or fine line art.
When should I use Text/Photo mode? •Use Text/Photo mode when copying an original document that
contains a mixture of text and graphics.
•Text/Photo mode is recommended for magazine articles, business
graphics, and brochures.
When should I use Printed Image mode? Use Printed Image mode when copying halftone photographs, graphics
such as documents printed on a laser printer, or pages from a magazine
or newspaper
When should I use Photograph mode? Use Photograph mode when the original document is a high-quality
photograph or inkjet print.

This option opens a screen where you can choose the size of the documents you are going to fax.
•Touch a paper size button to select that size as the Original Size setting. The fax screen appears with your new
setting displayed.
•When Original Size is set to Mixed Sizes, you can scan an original document that contains mixed paper sizes
(letter- and legal-size pages).
Content
This option tells the printer the original document type. Choose from Text, Text/Photo, or Photo. Content affects the
quality and size of your scan.
•Text—Emphasizes sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background
•Text/Photo—Used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures
•Photograph—Tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting increases the time
it takes to scan, but emphasizes a reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original document. This
increases the amount of information saved.
Sides (Duplex)
This option informs the printer if the original document is simplex (printed on one side) or duplex (printed on both
sides). This lets the scanner know what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the fax.
Resolution
This options increases how closely the scanner examines the document you want to fax. If you are faxing a photo,
a drawing with fine lines, or a document with very small text, increase the Resolution setting. This will increase the
amount of time required for the scan and will increase the quality of the fax output.
•Standard—Suitable for most documents
•Fine—Recommended for documents with small print
•Super fine—Recommended for original documents with fine detail
•Ultra fine—Recommended for documents with pictures or photos
Darkness
This option adjusts how light or dark your faxes will turn out in relation to the original document.
88

Advanced Options
Touching this button opens a screen where you can change Delayed Send, Advanced Imaging, Custom Job,
Transmission Log, Scan Preview, Edge Erase, and Advanced Duplex settings.
•Delayed Send—Lets you send a fax at a later time or date. After setting up your fax, touch Delayed Send, enter
the time and date you would like to send your fax, and then touch Done. This setting can be especially useful
in sending information to fax lines that are not readily available during certain hours, or when transmission times
are cheaper.
Note: If the printer is turned off when the delayed fax is scheduled to be sent, the fax is sent the next time the
printer is turned on.
•Advanced Imaging—Adjusts Background Removal, Contrast, Scan Edge to Edge, Shadow Detail, and Mirror
Image before you fax the document
•Custom Job (Job Build)—Combines multiple scanning jobs into a single job
•Transmission Log—Prints the transmission log or transmission error log
•Scan Preview—Displays the image before it is included in the fax. When the first page is scanned, the scanning
is paused, and a preview image appears.
•Edge Erase—Eliminates smudges or information around the edges of a document. You can choose to eliminate
an equal area around all four sides of the paper, or pick a particular edge. Edge Erase will erase whatever is
within the area selected, leaving nothing printed on that portion of the paper.
•Advanced Duplex—Controls how many sides and what orientation an original document has, and whether
original documents are bound along the long edge or the short edge.
Improving fax quality

Scanning to an FTP address
ADF Scanner glass
Use the ADF for multiple-page documents.
Use the scanner glass for single pages, small items (such as
postcards or photos), transparencies, photo paper, or thin media
(such as magazine clippings).
The scanner lets you scan documents directly to a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server. Only one FTP address may
be sent to the server at a time.
Once an FTP destination has been configured by your system support person, the name of the destination becomes
available as a shortcut number, or it is listed as a profile under the Held Jobs icon. An FTP destination could also
be another PostScript printer; for example, a color document can be scanned and then sent to a color printer. Sending
a document to an FTP server is similar to sending a fax. The difference is that you are sending the information over
your network instead of over the phone line.

new setting displayed.
•When Original Size is set to Mixed Sizes, you can scan an original document that contains mixed paper sizes
(letter- and legal-size pages).
Orientation
This option tells the printer whether the original document is in portrait or landscape orientation and then changes
the Sides and Binding settings to match the original document orientation.
Sides (Duplex)
This option informs the printer if your original document is simplex (printed on one side) or duplex (printed on both
sides). This lets the scanner know what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the document.
Darkness
This option adjusts how light or dark your scanned documents will turn out in relation to the original document.
Resolution
This option adjusts the output quality of your file. Increasing the image resolution increases the file size and the time
needed to scan your original document. Image resolution can be decreased to reduce the file size.
Advanced Imaging
This option lets you adjust Color Balance, Background Removal, Contrast, and Shadow Detail before you scan the
document.
•Color Balance—Adjusts hue shifts in the color output. Touch to increase the color value, or touch to
decrease the color value.
•Background Removal—Adjusts the white portion of the output. Touch to increase the white portion, or
touch to decrease the white portion.

•Contrast—Touch to increase the contrast, or touch to decrease the contrast.
•Shadow Detail—Touch to increase the visible detail in the shadows, or touch to decrease the visible
detail in the shadows.
Improving scan quality
Question Tip
When should I use Text mode? •Use Text mode when text preservation is the main goal of the scan,
and preserving images copied from the original document is not a
concern.
•Text mode is recommended for receipts, carbon copy forms, and
documents that only contain text or fine line art.
When should I use Text/Photo mode? •Use Text/Photo mode when scanning an original document that
contains a mixture of text and graphics.
•Text/Photo mode is recommended for magazine articles, business
graphics, and brochures.
When should I use Photo mode? Use Photo mode when scanning photos printed on a laser printer or taken
from a magazine or newspaper.

Printing
This chapter covers printing, printer reports, and job cancellation. Selection and handling of paper and specialty
media can affect how reliably documents print. For more information, see "Avoiding jams" and "Storing print media."
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 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.
99

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.

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:
1Open 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.
2Click Configuration.
3Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
4Click 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.
To configure SNMPv3 through the Embedded Web Server:
1Open 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/.
2Click Configuration.
3Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
4Click 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.
228
To install and use certificates as part of the credentials:
1Open 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/.
2Click Configuration.
3Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
4Click Certificate Management.
To enable and configure 802.1x after installing the required certificates:
1Open 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/.
2Click Configuration.
3Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
4Click 802.1x Authentication. If a wireless internal print server is installed in the printer, click Wireless instead.
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.
1Open a Web browser.
2In the address bar, type the network printer or print server IP address, and then press Enter.

4Under Other Settings, click Security.
5Click Create Password.
6Type the same password in each Password box.
Changing this setting will cause the print server to reset.
7Click 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:
1Open a Web browser.
2In the address bar, type the network printer or print server IP address, and then press Enter.
3Click Configuration.
4Under Other Settings, click Security.
229
5Click TCP/IP Port Access.
6Select the Secure Mode Active check box.
Note: If Secure Mode Active is gray or not selectable, create an administrative password and try again.
7Select a setting for each listed port, and then click Submit.

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.
252
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:
1From the Quality menu, select Color Correction, and then select Manual.
2From the Quality menu, select Manual Color, and then select the appropriate color conversion table for the
affected object type.

•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.
254
To access a detailed Color Samples set from the Embedded Web Server:
1Open a Web browser.
2In the address bar, type the network printer IP address.
3Click Configuration.
4Click Color Samples.
5Click Detailed Options to narrow the set to one color range.
6When the Detailed Options page appears, select a color conversion table.
7Enter the RGB or CMYK color number.
8Enter an Increment value from 1–255.
Note: The closer the value is to 1, the narrower the color sample range will appear.
9Click Print to print the detailed Color Samples set.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises’ wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC
Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is
designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See your setup documentation for more information.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive
RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of
RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total
RENs, contact your local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product
identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (for example, 03
is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is shown separately on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance
of service may be required. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. You
will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
260
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of this
equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to
maintain uninterrupted service.
If you experience trouble with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, contact Lexmark International, Inc. at
www.lexmark.com or your Lexmark representative. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company
may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.
This equipment contains no user serviceable parts. For repair and warranty information, contact Lexmark International, Inc. See the
previous paragraph for contact information.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission, or
corporation commission for information.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this equipment does not
disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a
qualified installer.
Telephone companies report that electrical surges, typically lightning transients, are very destructive to customer terminal equipment
connected to AC power sources. This has been identified as a major nationwide problem. It is recommended that the customer install
an appropriate AC surge arrestor in the AC outlet to which this device is connected. An appropriate AC surge arrestor is defined as one
that is suitably rated, and certified by UL (Underwriter's Laboratories), another NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory), or a
recognized safety certification body in the country/region of use. This is to avoid damage to the equipment caused by local lightning
strikes and other electrical surges.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device, including
fax machines, to send any message unless said message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or
on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual
sending the message, and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual. (The telephone
number provided may not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or long-distance transmission charges.)
See your user documentation in order to program this information into your fax machine.
Notice to users of the Canadian telephone network

Avis réservé aux utilisateurs du réseau téléphonique du Canada
Ce produit est conforme aux spécifications techniques d’Industrie Canada. Le numéro REN (ringer equivalence number : numéro
d’équivalence de sonnerie) fournit une indication du nombre maximum de terminaux pouvant être connectés à l’interface téléphonique.
En bout de ligne, le nombre d’appareils qui peuvent être connectés n’est pas directement limité, mais la somme des REN de ces appareils
ne doit pas dépasser cinq. Le numéro REN du modem est indiqué sur l’étiquette produit située à l’arrière de l’équipement.
Les compagnies de téléphone constatent que les surtensions électriques, en particulier celles dues à la foudre, entraînent d'importants
dégâts sur les terminaux privés connectés à des sources d’alimentation CA. Il s’agit-là d’un problème majeur d’échelle nationale. En
conséquence, il vous est recommandé de brancher un parasurtenseur dans la prise de courant à laquelle l’équipement est connecté.
Utilisez un parasurtenseur répondant à des caractéristiques nominales satisfaisantes et certifié par le laboratoire d’assureurs UL
(Underwriter’s Laboratories), un autre laboratoire agréé de type NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory) ou un organisme de
certification agréé dans votre région ou pays. Ceci prévient tout endommagement de l’équipement causé par les orages et autres
surtensions électriques.
Cet équipement utilise des prises de téléphone CA11A.

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:
Power consumption
Product power consumption
The following table documents the power consumption characteristics of the product.
Note: Some modes may not apply to your product.
Mode Description Power consumption (Watts)
Printing The product is generating hard-copy output from electronic inputs. 850 W
Copying The product is generating hard-copy output from hard-copy original documents. 850 W
Scanning The product is scanning hard-copy documents. 240 W
Ready The product is waiting for a print job. 220 W
Power Saver The product is in energy-saving mode. 45 W
High Off The product is plugged into a wall outlet, but the power switch is turned off. NA
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 The product is plugged into a wall outlet, but the power switch is turned off. 110V = 0.15W, 220V = 1.25W
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.
263
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.
Statement of Limited Warranty

Lexmark International, Inc., Lexington, KY
This limited warranty applies to the United States and Canada. For customers outside the U.S., refer to the country-specific 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

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

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

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.
