Linking and unlinking trays Linking trays Tray linking is useful for large print jobs or multiple copies. When one linked tray is empty, paper feeds from the next linked tray. When the Paper Size and Paper Type settings are the same for any trays, the trays are automatically 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. Loading paper and specialty media 39

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 ) 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 , 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—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. Changing a Custom Type name You can use the Embedded Web Server or MarkVisionTM to define a name other than Custom Type for each of the custom paper types that are loaded.

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. Paper and specialty media guide 42

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. Paper and specialty media guide 43

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. 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.

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. • 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 Paper and specialty media guide 46

– 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. • 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: 1 Set the Paper Type to Card Stock. 2 Select a Card Stock Texture setting. Paper and specialty media guide 47

• 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.

Understanding fax options

Original Size 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. Faxing 89

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.

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. Scanning to an FTP address Scanning to an FTP address using the keypad 1 Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF or facedown on the scanner glass. Note: Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass. 2 If you are loading a document into the ADF, adjust the paper guides. 3 On the home screen, touch FTP. 4 Type the FTP address. 5 Touch Send It.
