Use envelopes made from 20lb (75g/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 Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position
Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 210C (410F) without: sealing excessive curling wrinkling releasing hazardous emissions
If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering, check with the envelope supplier. Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of the envelope. Load only one envelope at a time. A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.

Labels

Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive on the sheets. Do not print a large number of labels continuously. Do not use vinyl labels. Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 210C (410F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must also be able to withstand 25 pounds per square inch (psi) (172kilopascals) pressure.
Tips on storing print media and supplies

Card stock

Card stock can only be printed from the Manual feeder. Preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect print quality and cause media handling or jamming problems. Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated. 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 card stock with a maximum weight of 163g/m2 (43 lb). The use of grain short card stock is recommended.

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 printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packaging until needed. 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 prevent paper jams: Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper. Never mix media types within a tray. Flex, fan, and straighten the paper stack before loading it.
Note: Make sure the paper stack is below the maximum paper fill indicators on the 250-sheet tray before pushing the tray into the printer. Push all trays snugly into the printer after loading them. Make sure paper guides are positioned before loading the paper or specialty media. Do not remove trays while a job is printing. Wait for a Load Paper page15) before removing the tray. light sequence (see Load print 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/publications 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.
Loading the 250-sheet tray
Follow these instructions to load paper in the 250-sheet tray.
Remove the 250-sheet tray.
maximum paper fill indicator
Note: To load legal- or folio-size paper, extend the length of the tray. See Extending the tray for legal- or folio-size paper on page52 for instructions.
Prepare a paper stack for loading by flexing and fanning it back and forth. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
Adjust the rear paper guide for the print media size you will be loading. Note: There should be a slight gap between the rear paper guide and the paper stack.
Insert the paper stack with the print side facing down.
Note: Make sure the paper stack is laying flat in the tray and is not above the maximum paper fill indicators. Improper loading may cause jams. Note: For simplex printing 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. For duplex printing load letterhead paper with the design side facing up.
Adjust the side paper guides to fit lightly against the paper stack.

Insert the 250-sheet paper 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, extend the tray. You may also attach a dust cover (if available on your printer model) 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, and expand the tray until the extender locks into place.

Attaching the dust cover

The dust cover helps protect the tray from the environment. It also keeps 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, then snap the cover into place. Note: This feature may not be available for some models.
Loading the manual feeder
The manual feeder is located at the front of the 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 tray. You must set the paper size before using the manual feeder. For more information, see your driver CD, or see Using the Local Printer Settings Utility on page75. For information on acceptable print media to use in the manual feeder, see Selecting print media on page43. Using only the specified print media helps prevent paper jams and print-quality problems. To load the manual feeder:
Place a sheet of the selected print media, print side facing up, at the center of the manual feeder, but only to the point where its leading edge can contact the paper guides. Otherwise, the printer will engage the print media too soon and likely skew the print job. 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. Note: Do not force the print media into the feeder. Forcing the media causes jams.

Adding a memory card

The system board has one connector for an optional memory card. The printer can support up to 64MB of additional memory (for a total of 96MB).
CAUTION: If you are installing a memory card after setting up the printer, turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before continuing.
Memory options designed for other Lexmark printers may not work with your printer.
Access the system board (see Accessing the system board on page69 ). Push open the latches on both ends of the memory connector. Unpack the memory card. Warning: Memory is easily damaged by static electricity. Touch something metal, such as the printer frame, before you touch a memory card. Avoid touching the connection points along the edge of the card.
Align the notches on the bottom of the card with the notches on the connector. Push the memory card firmly into the connector until the latches on either end of the connector snap into place. Some force may be required to fully seat the card.
Make sure each latch fits over the notch on each end of the card. Close the side door. Close the rear exit. Close the front door. See Recognizing installed options on page73.
Installing an optional 250-sheet drawer or 550-sheet drawer
Recognizing installed options
The printer driver should automatically recognize the newly installed option when the printer is turned on. If it does not, you can add the appropriate option manually. Note: If you have not installed your printer driver yet, follow the appropriate instructions under Software tasks on page74. After you have installed a printer driver, return here to complete these instructions.
Click Start Settings Printers. Select the printer icon. Click File Properties. Click the Install Options tab.

Conserving supplies

Conserving supplies lowers printing costs. When printing drafts, conserve toner by changing the Toner Darkness setting in your printer driver. The settings range from 1 (very light) to 10 (very dark), with 8 being the default. Setting the Toner Darkness to 1 conserves the most toner. Reduce paper consumption by printing on both sides of the paper.
Knowing when you need new supplies
The following sections describe ways to determine when new supplies are needed.
Checking the toner and photoconductor levels
You can determine approximately how much toner is left in your toner cartridge and how full the photoconductor is by printing a menu settings page. This helps you decide when you might need to order replacement supplies. For help printing a menu settings page, see Printing the menu settings and network setup pages on page74. The Toner low light sequence (see page16) is displayed when the toner cartridge is nearly empty. You can still print for a short time while this sequence is displayed, but print quality begins to decrease as the toner level decreases. Note: The Toner low light sequence does not appear if the 1500-page starter toner cartridge is installed. When the toner light sequence appears, or when you experience faded print, remove the toner cartridge. Firmly shake it side to side and front to back several times to redistribute the toner, and reinsert it. Repeat this procedure multiple times. If the print remains faded, replace the toner cartridge. To ensure print quality and to avoid damage to the printer, the printer stops operating after the photoconductor has reached a maximum of 110% of its life. (See Replace photoconductor (printer hard stop) on page9 for the light sequence associated with this stop.) The printer automatically notifies you before the photoconductor reaches this point. When you first receive the Replace photoconductor kit light sequence, you should immediately order a new photoconductor kit. While the printer may continue to function properly after the photoconductor kit has reached its official end-of-life (approximately 30,000 pages), print quality begins to significantly decrease until the photoconductor stops operating at the maximum of 110% of its life. Once the photoconductor kit has been replaced, and the counter has been reset, normal printer operation resumes. For more information, see the instruction sheet that came with your photoconductor kit.
Ordering a maintenance kit

Scheduled maintenance is required after 120,000 pages have been printed. To know when to order a maintenance kit, print your printer menu settings pages. See Printing the menu settings and network setup pages on page74. If Maintenance is listed under the Warnings heading, it is time to order a new maintenance kit. The maintenance kit contains all the items necessary to replace the pick rollers, the fuser, and the transfer roller. Note: The maintenance kit may not be available in all geographies. See the following table for the maintenance kit part number for your specific printer. Machine voltage 110 V 220 V 100 V Part numbers 40X2847 40X2848 40X2849
Recognizing the control panel light sequences
The control panel displays certain light sequences to let you know when the toner level is low or when its time to replace the photoconductor kit.

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.
