Paper and specialty media guide 45 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 trays can automatically feed paper weights up to 90‑g/m2 (24‑lb) bond grain long paper. The multipurpose feeder can automatically feed paper weights up to 163‑g/m2 (43‑lb) bond grain long paper. 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 inches), we recommended to use 90 g/m2 (24 lb) or heavier paper. Note: Two‑sided printing is supported only for 60–90‑g/m2 (16–24‑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, then toner cannot fuse to it properly. If paper is too smooth, then it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. Always use paper between 100 and 300 Sheffield points; however, smoothness between 150 and 250 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. Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before printing. Extend the time to 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 60–90‑g/m2 (16–24‑lb) bond paper, grain long paper is recommended. Paper and specialty media guide 46 Fiber content Most high‑quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically treated pulped wood. This content provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling. Unacceptable paper The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer: • Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper • Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer • Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser • Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) less than ±2.5 mm (±0.10 inch), 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 the appropriate paper prevents jams and helps ensure trouble‑free printing. To help avoid paper jams and poor print quality: • Always use new, undamaged paper. • Before loading paper, know the recommended printable 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 tray; 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 (16 to 24 lb) weight paper. • Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process. • Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces. Use papers printed with heat‑resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must be able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidation‑set or oil‑based generally meet these requirements; latex inks might not. When in doubt, contact the paper supplier. Paper and specialty media guide 47 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 and other office papers As an environmentally conscientious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled paper produced specifically for use in laser (electrophotographic) printers. While no blanket statement can be made that all recycled paper will feed well, Lexmark consistently tests papers that represent recycled cut size copier papers available on the global market. This scientific testing is conducted with rigor and discipline. Many factors are taken into consideration both separately and as a whole, including the following: • • • • • • • • Amount of post-consumer waste (Lexmark tests up to 100% post-consumer waste content.) Temperature and humidity conditions (Testing chambers simulate climates from all over the world.) Moisture content (Business papers should have low moisture: 4–5%.) Bending resistance and proper stiffness means optimum feeding through the printer. Thickness (impacts how much can be loaded into a tray) Surface roughness (measured in Sheffield units, impacts print clarity and how well toner fuses to the paper) Surface friction (determines how easily sheets can be separated) Grain and formation (impacts curling, which also influences the mechanics of how the paper behaves as it moves through the printer) • Brightness and texture (look and feel) Recycled papers are better than ever; however, the amount of recycled content in a paper affects the degree of control over foreign matter. And while recycled papers are one good path to printing in an environmentally responsible manner, they are not perfect. The energy required to de-ink and deal with additives such as colorants and “glue” often generates more carbon emissions than does normal paper production. However, using recycled papers enables better resource management overall. Lexmark concerns itself with the responsible use of paper in general based on life cycle assessments of its products. To gain a better understanding of the impact of printers on the environment, the company commissioned a number of life cycle assessments and found that paper was identified as the primary contributor (up to 80%) of carbon emissions caused throughout the entire life of a device (from design to end-of-life). This is due to the energy-intensive manufacturing processes required to make paper. Thus, Lexmark seeks to educate customers and partners on minimizing the impact of paper. Using recycled paper is one way. Eliminating excessive and unnecessary paper consumption is another. Lexmark is well-equipped to help customers minimize printing and copying waste. In addition, the company encourages purchasing paper from suppliers who demonstrate their commitment to sustainable forestry practices. Lexmark does not endorse specific suppliers, although a converter’s product list for special applications is maintained. However, the following paper choice guidelines will help alleviate the environmental impact of printing: 1 Minimize paper consumption. 2 Be selective about the origin of wood fiber. Buy from suppliers who carry certifications such as the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). These certifications guarantee that the paper manufacturer uses wood pulp from forestry operators that employ environmentally and socially responsible forest management and restoration practices. 3 Choose the most appropriate paper for printing needs: normal 75 or 80 g/m2 certified paper, lower weight paper, or recycled paper. Paper and specialty media guide 48 Unacceptable paper examples Test results indicate that the following paper types are at risk for use with laser printers: • • • • Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless papers • • • • • Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers 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 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.) Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers or curled papers Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European testing) Paper weighing less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) Multiple part forms or documents For more information about Lexmark, visit www.lexmark.com. General sustainability-related information can be found at the Environmental Sustainability link. 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 percent. Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with relative humidity between 40 and 60 percent. • • • • Store paper in cartons, 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. Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton and wrapper help keep the paper clean, dry, and flat. Using specialty media Tips on using card stock Card stock is heavy, single‑ply specialty 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: • Make sure the Paper Type is Card Stock. • Select the appropriate Paper 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 that the card stock can withstand temperatures up to 240°C (464°F) without releasing hazardous emissions. Paper and specialty media guide 49 • 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 short card stock when possible. Tips on using envelopes Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities. • Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure that the envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or releasing hazardous emissions. • For best performance, use envelopes made from 90‑g/m2 (24‑lb bond) paper or 25% cotton. All‑cotton envelopes must not exceed 70‑g/m2 (20‑lb bond) weight. • Use only new envelopes from undamaged packages. • 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 guides to fit the width of the envelopes. Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes. Tips on using labels Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities. Note: Use only paper label sheets. Vinyl, pharmacy, and two‑sided labels are not supported. For more information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available at http://support.lexmark.com. When printing on labels: • Use labels designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to verify that: – The labels can withstand temperatures up to 240°C (464°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. – Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats can withstand up to 172‑kPa (25‑psi) pressure without delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes. • Do not use labels with slick backing material. • Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and toner cartridge warranties. Paper and specialty media guide 50 • Do not use labels with exposed adhesive. • Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inch) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die‑cuts of the label. • Make sure the adhesive backing does not reach to the edge of the sheet. Zone coating of the adhesive should be at least 1 mm (0.04 inch) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty. • If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, then remove a 2‑mm (0.08‑inch) strip on the leading and driver edge, and then use a non‑oozing adhesive. • Portrait orientation is recommended, especially when printing bar codes. Tips on using letterhead • • • • Use letterhead designed specifically for laser printers. Print samples on the letterhead being considered for use before buying large quantities. Before loading letterhead, flex, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together. Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. For information on how to load letterhead, see: – “Loading trays” on page 34 – “Loading the multipurpose feeder” on page 38 Tips on using transparencies • Print a test page on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities. • Feed transparencies from the standard tray, or the multipurpose feeder. • Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures up to 185°C (365°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. Note: If the transparency weight is set to Heavy and the transparency texture is set to Rough in the Paper menu, then transparencies can be printed at a temperature up to 195°C (383°F). • Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies to prevent print quality problems. • Before loading transparencies, flex, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

Saving money and the environment 59 Saving money and the environment Lexmark is committed to environmental sustainability and is continually improving its printers to reduce their impact on the environment. We design with the environment in mind, engineer our packaging to reduce materials, and provide collection and recycling programs. For more information, see: • The Notices chapter • The Environmental Sustainability section of the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/environment • The Lexmark recycling program at www.lexmark.com/recycle By selecting certain printer settings or tasks, you may be able to reduce your printer's impact even further. This chapter outlines the settings and tasks that may yield a greater environmental benefit. Saving paper and toner Studies show that as much as 80% of the carbon footprint of a printer is related to paper usage. You can significantly reduce your carbon footprint by using recycled paper and the following printing suggestions, such as printing on both sides of the paper and printing multiple pages on one side of a single sheet of paper. For information on how you can quickly save paper and energy using one printer setting, see “Using Eco‑Mode” on page 65 for MS312 or “Using Eco‑mode” on page 68 for MS315 and MS415. Using recycled paper As an environmentally conscious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled office paper produced specifically for use in laser printers. For more information on recycled papers that work well with your printer, see “Using recycled paper and other office papers” on page 47. Conserving supplies Use both sides of the paper If your printer model supports two‑sided printing, then you can control whether print appears on one or two sides of the paper. Notes: • Two-sided printing is the default setting in the print driver. • For a complete list of supported products and countries, go to http://support.lexmark.com. Place multiple pages on one sheet of paper You can print up to 16 consecutive pages of a multiple‑page document onto one side of a single sheet of paper by setting multiple page printing (N‑Up) for the print job. Saving money and the environment 60 Check your first draft for accuracy Before printing or making multiple copies of a document: • Use the preview feature to see how the document looks like before you print it. • Print one copy of the document to check its content and format for accuracy. Avoid paper jams Correctly set the paper type and size to avoid paper jams. For more information, see “Avoiding jams” on page 128. Recycling Lexmark provides collection programs and environmentally progressive approaches to recycling. For more information, see: • The Notices chapter • The Environmental Sustainability section of the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/environment • The Lexmark recycling program at www.lexmark.com/recycle Recycling Lexmark products To return Lexmark products for recycling: 1 Go to www.lexmark.com/recycle. 2 Find the product type you want to recycle, and then select your country or region from the list. 3 Follow the instructions on the computer screen. Note: Printer supplies and hardware not listed in the Lexmark collection program may be recycled through your local recycling center. Contact your local recycling center to determine the items they accept. Recycling Lexmark packaging Lexmark continually strives to minimize packaging. Less packaging helps to ensure that Lexmark printers are transported in the most efficient and environmentally sensitive manner and that there is less packaging to dispose of. These efficiencies result in fewer greenhouse emissions, energy savings, and natural resource savings. Lexmark cartons are 100% recyclable where corrugated recycling facilities exist. Facilities may not exist in your area. The foam used in Lexmark packaging is recyclable where foam recycling facilities exist. Facilities may not exist in your area. When you return a cartridge to Lexmark, you can reuse the box that the cartridge came in. Lexmark will recycle the box. Returning Lexmark cartridges for reuse or recycling Lexmark Cartridge Collection Program diverts millions of Lexmark cartridges from landfills annually by making it both easy and free for Lexmark customers to return used cartridges to Lexmark for reuse or recycling. One hundred percent of the empty cartridges returned to Lexmark are either reused or demanufactured for recycling. Boxes used to return the cartridges are also recycled. Saving money and the environment 61 To return Lexmark cartridges for reuse or recycling, follow the instructions that came with your printer or cartridge and use the prepaid shipping label. You can also do the following: 1 Go to www.lexmark.com/recycle. 2 From the Toner Cartridges section, select your country or region. 3 Follow the instructions on the computer screen.

For more information, see “Erasing non‑volatile memory” on page 74. Warning—Potential Damage: Restoring factory defaults returns most printer settings to the original factory default settings. Exceptions include the display language, custom sizes and messages, and network/port menu settings. All downloads stored in the RAM are deleted. Downloads stored in the flash memory card are not affected. From the control panel, navigate to: Managing the printer > Settings > Settings > 72 > General Settings > > Factory Defaults > > Restore Now > Securing the printer 73 Securing the printer Using the security lock feature The printer is equipped with a security lock feature. Attach a security lock compatible with most laptop computers in the location shown to secure the printer in place. Statement of Volatility Your printer contains various types of memory that can store device and network settings, and user data. Type of memory Description Volatile memory Your printer uses standard random access memory (RAM) to temporarily buffer user data during simple print jobs. Non-volatile memory Your printer may use two forms of non-volatile memory: EEPROM and NAND (flash memory). Both types are used to store operating system, device settings, and network information. Erase the content of any installed printer memory in the following circumstances: • • • • • The printer is being decommissioned. The printer is being moved to a different department or location. The printer is being serviced by someone from outside your organization. The printer is being removed from your premises for service. The printer is being sold to another organization. Securing the printer 74 Erasing volatile memory The volatile memory (RAM) installed in your printer requires a power source to retain information. To erase the buffered data, simply turn off the printer.
