Total energy usage

It is sometimes helpful to calculate the total printer energy usage. Since power consumption claims are provided in power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the printer spends in each mode in order to calculate energy usage. The total printer energy usage is the sum of each mode's energy usage.

Tray 2: 148216 x 210356 mm (5.838.5 x 8.2714.0 in.) Manual feeder: 76216 x 127356 mm (3.08.5 x 5.014.0 in.) (includes 3 x 5 in. cards)
Where can print media be loaded in the printer?
Your printer has two standard paper sources: an automatic 250-sheet paper feeder (Tray 1) and a single-sheet manual feeder. Use Tray 1 for most print jobs. Use the manual feeder for a single piece of paper, transparency, envelope, paper label, card stock, or index card. You can increase paper capacity by purchasing an optional 550-sheet drawer. An output bin on top of the printer holds up to 150 sheets. The single-sheet rear exit provides a straight-through paper path to help reduce curling and potential jams. This is especially useful for specialty media, such as transparencies, envelopes, paper labels, card stock, or index cards. 150-sheet output bin Paper support

Dust cover (some models)

Tips on choosing the right print media
Selecting the right paper or other media reduces printing problems. For best print quality, try a sample of the paper or other media you are considering before buying large quantities. See the Card Stock & Label Guide available on our Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com for more information about which paper provides optimum results for your printing environment.
For the best print quality, use 20 lb (75 g/m2) xerographic, grain long paper. The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) grain long. Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. Paper heavier than 90 g/m2 (24 lb) should be fed through the optional 550-sheet tray or the manual feeder. The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of 170C (338F) for non-MICR applications. Use only paper able to withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.
Preprinted forms and letterhead
Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process. Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed. Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 170C (338F) 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 should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier. Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 170C (338F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.

Transparencies

Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 170C (338F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. We recommend Lexmark laser printer transparencies: part number 70X7240 for letter size transparencies; part number 12A5010 for A4 size transparencies. To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
Use envelopes made from 24 lb (90 g/m2) bond paper. Do not use envelopes that: Have excessive curl Are stuck together Are damaged in any way Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossments Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars Have postage stamps attached

Adjust the paper guides to the print media width. Hold both sides of the print media close to the manual feeder, and push it into the printer until it automatically engages.
There is a brief pause between the time the printer engages the print media and when it feeds into the printer. Warning: Do not force the print media into the feeder. Forcing the media causes jams.
How to print on both sides of the paper (manual duplex)
Printing on both sides of the paper reduces printing costs. Although you can use Tray 1 or the 550-sheet tray to print the first side of the duplex job, only use Tray 1 to print the second side. You can choose how you want your job duplexed: Long Edge or Short Edge. Long Edge means pages are bound along the long edge of the page (left edge for portrait, top edge for landscape).

Landscape Portrait

Back of sheet
Front of next sheet Front of next sheet
Short Edge means pages are bound along the short edge of the page.

Portrait

Landscape

Front of sheet

To manually duplex a print job:
From the computers software application, select File
Click Properties (or Options, Printer, or Setup, depending on the application) to view the printer driver settings. From the Page Layout tab, select 2-sided printing. Select either Long Edge or Short Edge. Select 2-sided printing. Click the Paper tab. Select the appropriate Input options for your print job.
Click OK. Click OK on the Print window. The printer prints every other page of the document first. Once the first side of your job prints, the Load Paper light comes on, and the Continue light blinks.
Load the paper back into the printer with the already-printed side up and the top of the page toward the front of the tray. Note: Manual duplex is not available on a Macintosh computer.
How to print multiple page images on one page (N-up printing)
The Multipage Printing (N-up) setting is used to print multiple page images on a single page. For example, 2-Up means two page images are printed on one page, 4-up means four page images are printed on one page, and so on. The printer uses the Multipage Order, Multipage View, and Multipage Border settings to determine the order and orientation of the page images, and whether a border is printed around each page image.

The toner cartridge you are using was not designed to match the region of your printer.
Install a toner cartridge made for your printers region (see What supplies do I need and how do I order them? on page 88).

Supplies information

What supplies do I need and how do I order them?
There are only two supply items that have to be replaced on a regular basis: the toner cartridge and the photoconductor kit, which together comprise the print cartridge assembly. The photoconductor kit typically lasts up to 30,000 pages (at approximately 5% coverage), whereas the toner cartridge has to be replaced more frequently. How often the toner cartridge needs replacing depends on which cartridge you purchase and the average amount of toner coverage you have on your print jobs. Within the United States or Canada, you can order Lexmark supplies from any authorized Lexmark supplies dealer. To locate the dealer nearest you, call 1-800-539-6275. In other countries or regions, visit the Lexmark online store at www.lexmark.com, or contact the place where you bought your printer.

Troubleshooting

General problems
Problem / Question What do the blinking lights mean? Why am I missing characters when I print on envelopes? Solution / Answer See Understanding the operator panel lights on page 53 for information about what each light pattern means. If you see voids (missing characters) when printing envelopes, check your printer driver settings to make sure you selected Envelope from the Paper Type menu. If Envelope is already selected, try changing the texture setting to a rougher setting. Sometimes toner does not adhere well to smooth-textured envelopes. From your printer driver, select Custom 6-Rough Env from the Paper Type menu. To change Custom 6 back to its default settings for Paper Type, Paper Texture, and Paper Weight, use the Local Printer Setup Utility on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer. If you already installed the printer drivers and utilities, skip to step 7. 1 Insert the drivers CD into your computer. 2 Click Printer Software. 3 Click Agree. 4 Select Local Printer Install, and then click Next. 5 Select your printer and port, and make sure Local Printer Setup Utility is checked. 6 Click Finish. The Utility will be installed on your computer under Program Files (unless you chose a different directory). 7 Open the Local Printer Setup Utility. 8 From the Paper menu, scroll through the menu items until you see the Custom menu setting. 9 Click Custom. 10 Scroll down to Custom 6 Paper Type. 11 Select envelope for the Custom 6 paper type, heavy for the Custom 6 paper weight, and rough for the Custom 6 paper texture. 12 From the toolbar, click Actions. 13 Click Apply to save the changes you made. 14 Click File Exit to close the Local Printer Setup Utility. See How to clear paper jams on page 34 for information about clearing jams.
How do I clear a paper jam?
Problem / Question How do I restore the factory defaults?
Solution / Answer Sometimes restoring the printer to the original factory default settings solves formatting problems. To reset the factory defaults: 1 Turn off the printer. 2 Open the front cover. 3 Press Continue as you turn the printer back on. 4 Keep pressing Continue until the Error light comes on, then release the Continue button. 5 Close the front cover. 6 As the printer warms up, the top four lights come on. 7 Press Cancel. 8 Press Continue until the operator panel cycles through all of the lights. 9 When the top four lights come on, release the Continue button. 10Turn the printer off and back on. 11Factory defaults have been reset. Yes, you can still print. To extend the life of the toner cartridge somewhat, remove the cartridge, firmly shake it from side to side and front to back several times to use the remaining toner, then insert it back into the printer. Repeat this procedure multiple times. If print remains faded, replace the toner cartridge. This is normal. The printer sometimes prints at a slightly slower speed when feeding print media from the manual feeder. The problem is that when the printer tries to manually duplex a print job, it always prints side 2 from Tray 1. However, Tray 1 does not support card stock. To achieve the desired effect, you have to send both pages of the print job as separate jobs. After the first page has printed, reload the card stock in the manual feeder. Load the card stock in the feeder with the already-printed side down, with the top of the sheet first. Extend the paper support on the output bin.

Skewed print (Print is inappropriately slanted.)
Move the guides in the tray so that they are snug against the sides of the paper. Move the manual feeders guides so that they are snug against the sides of the paper. Replace the toner cartridge.

Symptom Solid black pages Paper curls badly once it prints and exits to the bin
Cause The toner cartridge is defective. Your printer requires servicing. The Paper Weight setting is wrong for the type of paper or specialty media you are using.
Solution Replace the toner cartridge. Call for service. Change Paper Weight to Smooth.
To replace the fuser, call a service technician. This setting can be changed using the Local Printer Setup Utility. See Using the Local Printer Setup Utility on page 87 for more information.
How to clean the printhead lens
You can solve some print quality problems by cleaning the printhead lens.
Turn the printer off. Open the front cover by pressing the button on the left side of the printer and lowering the cover.
Remove the print cartridge assembly out of the printer by pulling on the toner cartridge handle. Note: Do not press the button on the print cartridge assembly.
Place the print cartridge assembly on a flat, clean surface. Warning: Do not leave the print cartridge assembly exposed to direct light for an extended period of time. Extended light exposure can cause print quality problems.
Locate the glass printhead lens, which is located within the recessed area in the top of the printer. Printhead lens
Gently wipe the printhead lens with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Warning: Not using a clean, dry, lint-free cloth may result in damage to the printhead lens.
Install the print cartridge assembly into the printer by aligning the arrows on the guides of the print cartridge assembly with the arrows on the tracks in the printer and pushing the print cartridge assembly in as far as it will go.
