If the USB-attached printer does not appear in the Printer List, make sure the USB cable is properly connected and the printer is turned on. After the printer appears in the Printer List, quit Print Center or Printer Setup Utility.

Storing paper

Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality. Store paper in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21C (70F) and the relative humidity is 40%. Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf rather than directly on the floor. If you store individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle, curl, or become damaged. Do not place anything on top of paper packages.

Storing supplies

Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packaging until you are ready to use them. Do not expose supplies to: Direct sunlight Temperatures above 35C (95F) High humidity (above 80%) Salty air Corrosive gases Heavy dust

Tips on preventing jams

You can avoid most paper jams by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer. The following hints can help you avoid paper jams: Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper. Never mix media types within a tray. Flex, fan, and straighten paper before you load it.
Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Push all trays firmly into the printer after loading them. Make sure the guides in the trays are positioned snug against the paper or specialty media. Do not remove paper trays while a job is printing. Wait for a Load Paper page 62) before you remove the tray. light sequence (see Load media on
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together. Do not use envelopes that: Have excessive curl Are stuck together Are damaged in any way Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossments Have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars Have postage stamps attached Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position
Use only recommended paper. 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. If you need detailed information before purchasing large quantities of customized paper, See the Card Stock & Label Guide.
How to load the 250-sheet and 550-sheet trays

Follow these instructions to load paper in the 250-sheet tray and 550-sheet tray.

Remove the tray.

Note: To load legal or folio size paper, you have to extend the length of the paper tray. See Extending the tray for legal or folio size paper on page 30 for instructions.
Prepare a stack of paper for loading by flexing and fanning it back and forth. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
Load the paper in the tray with the print side facing down.
Note: Load letterhead paper with the design side facing down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front of the tray. Make sure the paper is below the max fill line on the side guides. Overloading may cause jams.
Slide the two side guides and the back guide until they fit snugly against the stack of paper. Insert the tray.
Extend the paper support on the output bin.
Extending the tray for legal or folio size paper
To load legal or folio size paper, you need to extend the paper tray. You should also attach the dust cover on the back of the printer to protect the tray while it is extended.
Press down on the latch at the back of the tray. Expand the tray until the extender locks into place.

Attaching the dust cover

The dust cover helps protect the paper tray from the environment as well as keep the tray from being knocked out of position while it is extended. Attach the dust cover to the back of the printer by aligning the tabs on the cover to the holes on the printer, and snap the cover into place.
How to load the manual feeder
The manual feeder is located at the front of your printer and can only feed one sheet of print media at a time. You can use the manual feeder to make quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper tray. For information on acceptable print media to use in the manual feeder, see What types of print media can be loaded? on page 22. Using only the specified print media helps prevent paper jams and print quality problems. Note: We recommend that you send your print job to the printer prior to loading the manual feeder. See How to manually feed a print job on page 37 for more information. To load the manual feeder:

How to print a booklet

The Booklet setting lets you print multiple pages in booklet form without having to re-format your document so the pages print in the proper order. The pages print so that the finished collated document may be folded along the center of each page to form a booklet.
If the document contains many pages, a booklet may have too many pages to fold easily. If you are printing a fairly large booklet, you might want to use the Sheets per Bundle option to specify how many physical pages are put into one bundle. The printer will print the necessary number of bundles, which you can then bind into one booklet. Printing in bundles helps the outside edge of the pages line up more evenly. You must specify whether or not you want to print using any Duplex printing options before you select to print using the booklet function. Once you choose Print Using Booklet, the controls for the Duplex options are unavailable and remain at the last setting used.
Click Properties (or Options, Printer, or Setup, depending on the application) to view the printer driver settings. From the Page Layout tab, click More Page Layout Options. Click Booklet. If your print job is large, you may want to use the Sheets per Bundle option. Select the appropriate binding edge for your print job. To print a visible fold mark on the pages, select Print fold mark. Click OK twice. Click OK on the Print window to send the job to print. Note: Booklet printing is not available on a Macintosh computer.

How to print a poster

The Poster setting lets you print a single image across several pages. Once printed, you can combine the pages to create one large image.
Click Properties (or Options, Printer, or Setup, depending on the application) to view the printer driver settings. From the Page Layout tab, click More Page Layout Options. Click Poster. Select the poster size you want by choosing the number of pages to use in the poster. To print crop marks on the pages, select Print crop marks. Select the amount of overlap you want each page to have. Click OK twice. Click OK on the Print window to send the job to print. Note: Poster prining is not available on a Macintosh computer.
How to print on letterhead
To print on letterhead, make sure the paper is loaded with the proper orientation.
Make sure the letterhead is properly loaded according to the paper source you are using: Tray 1 or 2Load the letterhead paper with the design side facing down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front of the tray. Manual feederLoad the letterhead paper face-up, with the top of the sheet entering first. Note: If you are using the manual feeder, first send the job to print, then load the letterhead when the printer displays the Load Manual Feeder light sequence (see How to manually feed a print job on page 37).

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.

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.
The toner low light sequence is on, but I dont have another cartridge to put in yet. Can I still print with the low cartridge? The printer seems to print slower when using the manual feeder. I want to manually duplex card stock, but Im having trouble getting it to feed.
Paper stacks poorly in the output bin.

Print quality problems

Problem / Question Dust is gathering on the paper tray when it is extended. The paper tray is getting bumped and pushed out the front of the printer when it is extended.
Solution / Answer Attach the dust cover to the back of the printer. This protects the paper tray from the environment as well as keeping the tray from being knocked out of position while it is extended. See Attaching the dust cover for information about attaching the dust cover.
