It also includes information about setting the Paper Size and Paper Type. Setting the paper size and paper type Make sure the settings for the trays reflect the size and type of paper loaded in the trays. The factory default paper type setting is plain paper, so the paper type setting must be set manually for all trays that do not contain plain paper. Access the Paper menu through the Embedded Web Server if your printer is networked: 1 Type the printer IP address in the address field of your Web browser. Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section. 2 Click Settings. 3 From the Paper menu, find the Size and Type for each input source. 4 Select the paper size and paper type used most frequently from each input source. 5 Click Submit. If the printer is connected to a computer by a USB or parallel cable, use one of the following utilities to access the Paper menu, depending on your operating system: • On a Windows computer, access the Paper menu through the Local Printer Settings Utility. • On a Macintosh computer, access the Paper menu through the Printer Settings. Note: The Paper Size and Type settings will be saved until you reset factory default settings. If you would like to override the Paper Size and Type settings for a special print job, do one of the following: • For Windows users, click File Print, and then click Properties, Preferences, Options, or Setup. • For Macintosh users, choose File > Print, and then adjust the settings from the print dialog and pop-up menus. Configuring Universal paper settings The Universal Paper Size is a user-defined setting that lets you print on paper sizes that are not preset in the printer menus. Defining a specific height and width measurement for the Universal paper size, in the portrait orientation, allows the printer to support the size. Specify all of the following Universal size settings for your paper: • Units of measure (inches or millimeters) • Portrait Width • Portrait Height Note: The smallest supported Universal size is 76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.); the largest is 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 in.). • If the printer is on a network, open the Embedded Web Server: 1 Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser. Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section. 2 Click Settings.

Enter the paper height under Portrait Height. Click Submit. Find the tray in which you will load the Universal paper, and then set the Paper Size to Universal. Click Submit. • If the printer is connected to a computer by a USB or parallel cable, open the Local Printer Settings Utility for Windows or Printer Settings for Macintosh. One of these utilities installs with your printer software. Under the Paper menu, select Universal in the Paper Size selection box for the tray that will contain the Universal paper. Loading the standard 250-sheet tray The printer has two trays to select from: the standard tray (Tray 1), also known as the 250-sheet tray, and either the optional 250-sheet tray or the optional 550-sheet tray (Tray 2). Only one optional drawer (which includes an optional tray) may be attached to the printer at one time. Proper paper loading prevents jams and facilitates trouble-free printing. 1 Pull the tray completely out. Do not remove trays while a job prints or when the Busy light sequence appears on the printer control panel. Doing so may cause a jam. Busy Loading paper and specialty media 41 - On 2 Squeeze the width guide tabs, and then slide them to the sides of the tray. The width guides move in unison. 3 Squeeze the length guide tabs together, and then slide the length guide to the correct position for the paper size being loaded. If you are loading a longer size of paper like A4 or legal, squeeze the length guide tabs and slide the length guide backwards to the position for the length of paper you are loading. The tray extends backwards. If you are loading A6-size paper: a Squeeze the length guide tabs together as shown, and slide the length guide toward the center of the tray to the A6 size position. b Raise the A6 length guide. Note: The standard tray accommodates only 150 sheets of A6-size paper. Loading paper and specialty media 42 4 Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface. 5 Load the paper stack toward the back of the tray as shown with the recommended print side facedown. Note: Notice the maximum fill line. Do not try to overload the tray. Do not load A6-size paper to the maximum fill line; the tray holds only 150 sheets of A6-size paper. 1 Maximum fill line Note: When loading letterhead, place the top edge of the sheet toward the front of the tray. Load the letterhead with the design placed facedown. Loading paper and specialty media 43 6 Squeeze the width guide tabs on the right guide, and slide the width guides to lightly touch the side of the stack. 7 Insert the tray. 8 If a different type of paper was loaded than the type previously loaded in the tray, change the Paper Type setting. For more information, see “Setting the paper size and paper type” on page 40. Note: The difference between the standard 250-sheet tray and the optional 250- and 550-sheet trays is that the standard tray accommodates up to 150 sheets of A6-size paper, so the width guides slide farther to the center of the tray. Loading paper and specialty media 44 Loading the optional 250- or 550-sheet tray Only one optional drawer, which includes either a 250- or 550-sheet tray, may be attached to the printer at a time. Regardless of the number of sheets in the optional tray, it is referred to as Tray 2. 1 Pull the tray completely out. 2 See “Loading the standard 250-sheet tray” on page 41 to complete the steps for loading a tray. An optional tray is loaded in the same way that the standard tray is loaded. 3 Insert the tray. Loading paper and specialty media 45 Using the manual feeder The manual feeder is located inside the manual feeder door of the printer and can feed only one sheet of paper at a time. You can use the manual feeder to quickly print on paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the tray. 1 Open the manual feeder door. 2 When the light is lit, load the paper faceup into the center of the manual feeder. Notes: • Load letterhead faceup, with the top of the sheet entering first. • Load envelopes with the flap side down and with the stamp area as shown. Loading paper and specialty media 46 3 Feed paper into the manual feeder only to the point where its leading edge can contact the paper guides. 4 Adjust the paper guides to the paper width. Warning—Potential Damage: Do not force the paper into the feeder. Forcing the paper causes jams. Using the standard exit bin and paper stop The standard exit bin holds up to 150 sheets of 20 lb paper. It collects print jobs facedown. The standard exit bin includes a paper stop that keeps paper from sliding out the front of the bin as it stacks. The paper stop also aids in neater stacking of the paper. To open the paper stop, pull it so it flips forward. Notes: • Do not leave the paper stop in the open position if you are printing on transparencies. Doing so may cause creases in the transparencies. • When moving the printer to another location, make sure the paper stop is closed. Paper capacities The capacities of the trays and the manual feeder are based on 75 g/m 2 (20 lb) paper.

When one linked tray is empty, paper feeds from the next linked tray. When the Size and Type settings are the same for any trays, the trays are automatically linked. The Size and Type settings for all trays must be set from the Paper menu. To initiate tray linking from a networked printer, access the Embedded Web Server: 1 Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser. Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, print a network setup page and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section. 2 Click the Settings tab. 3 Under the Paper Menu, find the Size and Type for each tray. 4 Make sure the sizes and types of paper are the same under each tray to be linked. 5 Click Submit. To initiate tray linking from a locally connected printer: • On a Windows computer, access the Paper menu through the Local Printer Settings Utility. • On a Macintosh computer, access the Paper menu through the Printer Settings. Loading paper and specialty media 48 Unlinking trays Unlinked trays have settings that are not the same as the settings of any other tray. To unlink a tray using the Paper menu, change the Paper Type and Paper Size settings of that tray so that they do not match the settings of any other tray. • To unlink trays from a networked printer: 1 Access the Embedded Web Server by typing the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser. Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section. 2 Click Settings. 3 Under the Paper Menu, find the Type and Size for each tray. 4 Examine the Paper Type (for example: Plain Paper, Letterhead, Custom Type ). 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 , or assign your own custom name. 5 Determine whether to change the Paper Size (for example: letter, A4, statement), making sure the Paper Size is not the same for any other tray. Note: Paper Size settings are not automatic; they must be set manually from the Paper Menu. • To unlink trays from a locally connected printer, do one of the following: – On a Windows computer, access the Paper menu through the Local Printer Settings Utility. Then, change the Paper Type and Paper Size settings of the tray so that they do not match the settings of any other tray. – On a Macintosh computer, access the Paper menu through the Printer Settings. Then, change the Paper Type and Paper Size settings of the tray so that they do not match the settings of any other tray. Warning—Potential Damage: 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. Assigning a Custom Type name Assigning a Custom Type name to a tray enables you to link or unlink it. Use the same Custom Type name for each tray that you want to link. Only trays with the same custom names assigned will link. 1 Do one of the following: • If the printer is on a network, open the Embedded Web Server by typing the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser. Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section. • If the printer is connected to a computer by a USB or parallel cable, open the Local Printer Settings Utility for Windows or Printer Settings for Macintosh.

Loading paper and specialty media 50 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 manual 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 in.), we recommend 90 g/m2 (24 lb) or heavier paper. Note: Duplex 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, toner cannot fuse to it properly. If paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. Always use paper between 100–300 Sheffield points; smoothness between 150–250 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. 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 60–90 g/m2 (16–24 lb bond) paper, grain long paper is recommended. Paper and specialty media guide 51 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) 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. Paper and specialty media guide 52 Using recycled paper and other office papers 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. 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, or 140–350 Bendtsen units, European) Note: Some much smoother papers (such as premium 24 lb laser papers, 50–90 Sheffield units) and much rougher papers (such as premium cotton papers, 200–300 Sheffield units) have been engineered to work very well in laser printers, despite surface texture. Before using these types of paper, consult your paper supplier. • 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 g/m2 [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 in any laser printer (for example, if the paper curls excessively under normal printing conditions). 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.

Tips on using transparencies Print samples on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities. When printing on transparencies: • Feed transparencies from the standard 250-sheet tray or the manual feeder. • Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure transparencies are able to withstand temperatures up to 175°C (350°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. Note: Transparencies can be printed at a temperature up to 180° C (356° F) if Transparency Weight is set to Heavy and Transparency Texture is set to Rough. Select these settings in the Paper menu, using the Embedded Web Server, or a local utility. • To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies. • Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together. • Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together. • We recommend Lexmark part number 70X7240 for letter-size transparencies and Lexmark part number 12A5010 for A4-size transparencies. Tips on using envelopes Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities. Printing 61 When printing on envelopes: • Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°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 guides 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. 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 dual-sided labels are not supported. 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: • Use labels designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to verify that: – The labels can withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. Note: Labels can be printed at a higher fusing temperature up to 220°C (428°F) if Label Weight is set to Heavy. Select this setting using the Embedded Web Server, or from the printer control panel Paper menu. – Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats can withstand up to 25 psi (172 kPa) 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 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. Printing 62 • 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. 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 the card stock can withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°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 short card stock when possible.

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive The WEEE logo signifies specific recycling programs and procedures for electronic products in countries of the European Union.

Static sensitivity notice This symbol identifies static-sensitive parts. Do not touch in the areas near these symbols without first touching the metal frame of the printer. Notices 145 ENERGY STAR Applicable only to models with duplexing enabled. 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 7 milliwatt gallium arsenide laser operating in the wavelength of 655-675 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. 470 W Copying The product is generating hard-copy output from hard-copy original documents. N/A Scanning The product is scanning hard-copy documents. N/A Ready The product is waiting for a print job. 12 W Power Saver The product is in energy-saving mode. 11 W Off N/A The product is plugged into a wall outlet, but the power switch is turned off. Notices 146 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): 30 min. 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. 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.

For customers outside the U.S., refer to the countryspecific warranty information that came with your product.

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.

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.
