Peel the protective covering away from the overlay.
Youll find instructions for changing the language of the menus and messages displayed on the operator panel display in Step 12: Verify setup on page 145.
Installing the toner cartridge
Each toner cartridge supports approximately 20,000 pages of printing, depending on the types of jobs you print and the amount of toner required for each page. The printer displays a message when its time to replace the cartridge. You may want to keep a supply of toner cartridges handy, since the printer ceases operating when the toner cartridge is empty. Refer to the Users Reference for more information. To install the toner cartridge:
Remove the toner cartridge from its packing materials.
Turn the cartridge over so the handle is on top. Shake the cartridge vigorously in all directions to distribute the toner.
Pull the yellow clip out of the slot on the bottom of the toner cartridge. The slot on the toner cartridge must be in the correct position for the cartridge to be installed correctly. The clip ensures that the slot remains correctly oriented until you are ready to install the cartridge. After you pull out the clip, keep it in a convenient place in case you ever need to use it to realign the slot.
Open the toner box cover on the back of the printer.
Holding the toner cartridge by the green handle as shown, align the guides on the sides of the toner cartridge with the slots inside the toner box. Lower the toner cartridge into the toner box. Push gently to make sure the cartridge is firmly seated in the toner box.
Close the toner box cover.
Installing the photoconductor cartridge

Close the side door. If the side door is hard to close, remove the photoconductor cartridge and check to make sure you removed the tape and foam plug as directed in step 10 on page 41. Reinstall the photoconductor cartridge, firmly pushing the green grips on the cartridge into the printer as far as they will go.
Make sure the side door is closed completely. The latch should be all the way down in the locked position.
If the side door is hard to close, open the door and firmly push the green grips on the photoconductor cartridge into the printer as far as they will go. Then close the door.
Task 1 Install memory and option cards. 2 Install the duplex option. 3 Set up the optional mailbox. 4 Set up the optional finisher. 5 Load paper. Go to page 121
Step 6: Install memory and option cards
Note: You need a small Phillips screwdriver to install these options.
The instructions in this section help you install any of the following options: Printer memory Flash memory Tri-port interface card Parallel/USB interface card MarkNet internal print servers (also called internal network adapters or INAs) Hard disk
Refer to the Complete Printer Reference on the Lexmark Web site (www.lexmark.com) for more information about each of these options.
Install memory and option cards
Accessing the printer system board
CAUTION! If you are installing memory or option cards sometime after setting up the printer, turn the printer off and unplug the power cord before continuing.
Before installing these options, you must remove the system board access cover and the metal shield.
Warning! If you have an optional mailbox or finisher already installed, refer to the Users Reference for information about removing the transport unit from the top of the printer.
Lift the system board access cover off the printer and lay it aside.
Loosen the two screws on the metal shield. Do not remove the screws. Remove the metal shield and lay it aside.
Task 1 Install a memory card. 2 Install a print server or optional interface card. 3 Install a hard disk. Go to page 55

Installing memory cards

Follow the instructions in this section to install either a printer memory card or a flash memory card. There are three connectors for optional memory cards on the system board. You can install any combination of printer memory and flash memory cards in the three connectors.
Note: Some memory options offered
for other Lexmark printers cannot be used with your printer. Refer to the Complete Printer Reference for memory specifications.
Complete the steps in Accessing the printer system board on page 46.

Memory connectors

Locate the memory connectors on the system board. Each connector can support either a printer memory card or a flash memory card.

Latches

Completely open the latches on either end of the connector you want to use.

Slide the guide rail bracket under the bottom of the 2500-sheet drawer, and lift the bracket up until it clicks into place. The tabs of the guide rail bracket fit flush against the side of the 2500-sheet drawer when the bracket is properly installed.
Warning! Do not move the finisher by
pushing on its output bins. Using the bins as handles can damage or break them.
Move to the front of the printer. Align the finisher with the printer, as shown in the illustration to the left.

Finisher label

Orient the guide rail so the two small labels are facing up. One label is an illustration of a finisher with extra output bins (your finisher looks different), and the other is an illustration of a printer. Use the labels as a guide as you continue with the following steps.
Lay the guide rail on the floor between the finisher and the printer, with the labels at the appropriate ends.
Roll the finisher toward the printer, over the guide rail, until you can see the guide rails green tabs on the opposite side of the finisher.

Crossshaped button

Move to the side of the finisher opposite the printer. Squeezing the green tabs, lift the guide rail up into the bracket on the bottom of the finisher. The green cross-shaped buttons on the sides of the guide rail click into the holes on the bracket.

Bracket Tabs

Move to the front of the printer. Insert the free end of the guide rail into the bracket on the 2500-sheet drawer.
Push the finisher flush against the printer to fully insert the guide rail.
Pull the finisher away from the printer until the guide rail clicks into place. The line on the label closest to the printer should be aligned with the edge of the bracket on the 2500-sheet drawer.
guide rail prevents you from pulling the finisher too far away from the printer. After you install the transport unit on top of the printer (see page 108), the locking guide rail prevents the transport unit from falling between the printer and the finisher, possibly causing personal injury.
The transport unit caries the printed pages across the top of the printer to the finisher. You must install the support shelf before installing the transport unit.
Position the transport unit on top of the support shelf. Open the transport unit cover. Lower the metal shaft on the bottom of the transport unit into the two metal brackets on the finisher, as shown. Make sure the thumbscrew and gear on the ends of the shaft rest outside the metal brackets. Loosen the thumbscrew, if necessary, to make installation easier.
Open the cover on the transport unit and remove the shipping tape, as shown.
Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the transport unit to the finisher.

Load the paper with the recommended print side face up, as shown in the illustrations on page 125. Do not exceed the maximum stack height indicated on the adjustable guide. If you are loading media other than paper, do not load more than 50 sheets. Use the maximum stack height label as a guide.

Transparencies (A)

Labels and card stock (B)
The orientation of the paper in the tray depends on the size paper youre loading: For A4, A5, B5, executive, and letter size paper, place the long edge of the paper to the right of the tray. If youre loading preprinted letterhead, place the top of the page at the back of the tray.
A4, A5, B5, executive, and letter size paper For A3, B4, legal, and 11x17 size paper, place the short edge of the paper to the right of the tray. If youre loading preprinted letterhead, place the top of the page at the left side of the tray.
A3, B4, legal, and 11x17 size paper
Squeeze the left paper guide and slide it toward the paper until the guide fits snugly against the stack.
Press the green tab and slide the adjustable guides toward the paper until the guides fit snugly against the stack.
Make sure the pressure plate is pressed down inside the tray. Whenever you pull open the tray, make sure the pressure plate is snapped down before pushing the tray back into the printer.
Push the tray firmly into the printer. If the tray is not pushed completely into the printer, text and images may print in the wrong position on the page, and the margins may appear incorrect.

Loading trays 2 and 3

Trays 2 and 3 each hold 500 sheets of A3, A4, B4, 11x17, letter, or legal size paper. Load only paper in trays 2 and 3. Follow the instructions beginning on page 128 to load trays 2 and 3.
Note: If you installed an optional
500-sheet drawer, the instructions are the same for loading paper in that tray (tray 4).
Check that the left paper guide is in the appropriate position for the size paper you are loading. The position of the left paper guide tells the printer the size of paper in the tray. You cannot select the paper size for tray 2 and tray 3 from the printer operator panel. If the paper guide is already in the correct position for the size of paper you are loading, skip to step 6 on page 131 for instructions on loading paper in the tray. If you need to adjust the position of the paper guide, continue with step 4 on page 130.

Attach the label that indicates the size of paper loaded in the tray. Paper size labels were shipped with the tray. If you intend to use the tray primarily for one paper size, it may be helpful to identify that size on the outside of the tray. If you change paper sizes frequently, you may choose not to attach a label.
Repeat steps 1 through 13 to load tray 3.
Task 1 Load paper in an optional 2500-sheet drawer. 2 Attach cables. Go to page 136 139
Loading the 2500-sheet tray (tray 4)
If you have an optional 2500-sheet drawer attached to your printer, you can load up to 2500 sheets of either A4 or letter size paper in tray 4, depending on how the tray was configured at the factory for your geographic region.
Load the paper on both sides of the tray with the recommended print side face up, as shown. Always load the same type of paper in both sides of the tray. Do not exceed the maximum stack height indicated on the back of the tray. If youre loading preprinted letterhead, place the top of the page at the back of the tray, as shown.
Push the tray firmly into the printer.
Continue with Step 11: Attach cables on page 139.

Step 11: Attach cables

You can attach the printer to a LAN by:
Connecting the printer directly to the server using a parallel or serial cable. Your printers standard parallel port requires an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable. We recommend Lexmark part number 1329605 (10 ft) or 1427498 (20 ft). If you installed an optional parallel/USB interface card, you need a 1284 A-C parallel cable, such as Lexmark part number 43H5171 (9.8 ft). If you use something other than an IEEE-compliant cable, you may not be able to access all of your printers functions. If youre attaching a serial cable, we recommend Lexmark part number 1038693 (50 ft). Attach the cable to the serial connector on the optional tri-port interface card you installed in the printer.
Connecting the printer directly to the LAN: Using an external print server, such as Lexmarks MarkNet Pro. Using an internal print server, such as the MarkNet S or one of the MarkNet N2000 Series print servers. Using the optional tri-port interface card to connect to a LocalTalk network.
Note: If you have a MarkNet print server installed, you never have to worry about setting the network speed. The print server automatically senses the network speed and adjusts for that speed.

Attach cables

To attach a cable to your printer:
Network connector Parallel connector
Make sure the printer and the computer (or other devices you plan to attach) are turned off and the power cords are unplugged. At the back of the printer, locate the parallel, serial, or network cable connector. One parallel connector is standard on all printer models. The Optra W810n and Optra W810dn models also have a standard Ethernet connector attached to the MarkNet print server installed in the printer. You may have other cable connectors available on your printer if you installed other print servers or interface cards.

Changing the Paper Type setting
It is important to verify that the Paper Type settings are accurate for all the installed paper sources. Refer to the menu settings page you printed. The Paper Type is listed for each of the installed paper sources. Paper Type refers to the type of media loaded in the sources: plain paper, letterhead, transparencies, card stock, a custom media you define, and so on. Since different sources can hold different media, you can customize the Paper Type setting for each source. The printer uses the Paper Type setting to optimize print quality for the media you specified. The Paper Type setting also affects the printers automatic source selection capability, as well as the tray linking function. (See Linking trays on page 149 for more information.) For these reasons, its important to change the setting each time you change the media in the tray or feeder. Refer to the Complete Printer Reference for detailed information about the paper types supported by each paper source, as well as ways to use the Paper Type setting to make printing more efficient in your work environment. If you need to change a Paper Type setting:
From the printer operator panel, press the Menu> button to enter the menus.
PAPER MENU appears on the second line of the display.
Press the Select button to open the Paper Menu. Press and release Menu> until PAPER TYPE appears on the second line. Press Select.
Tray 1 Type appears on the second line of the display.
Press Select again if you want to change the Tray 1 Type setting. Press Menu> or <Menu to scroll through a list of possible paper types for tray 1.
When the correct paper type appears on the second line of the display, press Select again to save the type as the default for tray 1. If you need to change the Paper Type setting for another source, press Menu> to scroll to the appropriate source, and then repeat steps 5 through 7. When you are finished changing the Paper Type settings, press the Go button to return the printer to the Ready state.

Select the same Paper Type setting for all the sources. See page 147 for more information.
With tray linking in effect, the printer feeds paper from one tray until it is empty, and then feeds paper from the next linked tray. To disable tray linking, change the Paper Type setting for one or more of the trays to a Custom Type setting. Refer to the Complete Printer Reference if you need more information about changing printer settings from the menus.

Configuring output bins

If you attach an optional finisher or mailbox to your printer, you can link output bins, or otherwise specify how the printer sends jobs to the bins, by changing the Configure Bins settings in the Paper Menu. By default, the output bins for the finisher or the mailbox are configured in Mailbox mode. In this mode, you select an output bin when you send a job to print. (If you prefer, you can select a default output bin for all print jobs to go to.) The printer alerts you when the bin you selected becomes full, and stops printing until you empty the bin. If you prefer, you can change the Configure Bins setting to Link mode. All available bins are then linked so that when one bin becomes full, the printer sends jobs to the next linked bin. Mail Overflow mode (only available if youve attached an optional mailbox) is another setting you can select. In this mode, the printer automatically sends jobs to a preassigned overflow bin when the current bin becomes full. The final Configure Bins setting you can select is Type Assignment mode, which lets you assign different types of media to specific output bins or set of linked bins. The printer then sends all printed media to the bin or set of linked bins that you designated to receive each type of media. If you want to change the Configure Bins setting:
Press the Select button to open the Paper Menu. Press and release Menu> until CONFIGURE BINS appears on the second line. Press Select.
Mailbox appears on the second line of the display.
Press Menu> or <Menu to scroll through the list of available configuration modes. When the correct configuration mode appears on the second line of the display, press Select again to save the mode as the bin configuration default. Press the Go button to return the printer to the Ready state.
Refer to the Complete Printer Reference if you need more information about changing printer settings from the menus.
Continue with Step 13: Load MarkVision and drivers on page 152.
Step 13: Load MarkVision and drivers
The Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD contains printer drivers and utilities for Windows, Macintosh, and OS/2 environments. Drivers are available for both PCL and PostScript emulations. In addition to printer drivers, the CD includes several network setup and management utilities. If youre setting up your Optra W810 in a network environment, you may want to read Step 14: Set up network addresses on page 155 before launching the CD. That section provides helpful information about the software components you may need to install on your system.

Printing to a queue on a Windows NT Server
Note: If you are using Windows NT Server 4.0 or later and running TCP/IP you can use , Network Plug and Print to automate your printer setup process. This section explains the setup for queue-based printing where network users print to a queue defined on a Windows NT server. The MarkNet print server services this queue. To use this method, you must have at least one server running Windows NT Server software and TCP/IP. The following instructions apply to Windows NT Server Versions 4.0 and later.

Replacing supplies

Periodically you must replace various printer supplies and maintenance items, such as the toner cartridge, photoconductor kit, transfer kit, and fuser. Regularly replacing these consumables prevents paper feeding and print quality problems. Messages appear on the operator panel display to alert you its time to replace an item. To avoid printer downtime, you may want to keep a supply of these consumables on hand. Use the following table as a guide for ordering information. Turn to the page listed in the last column for detailed information about replacing a particular item. Installation instructions are also shipped in the box with each consumable.

Determining the status of supplies
The printer uses the second line of the operator panel display to alert you to any supply or maintenance items that need replacing. (These messages are discussed in more detail in the sections in this chapter devoted to each of the consumables.) However, the printer can only display information about one item at a time. Therefore, the display cannot indicate when more than one item needs replacing. If you want to determine the status of all of the consumables installed in your printer, you can print the menu settings page from the Utilities Menu. (Press Menu> until you see Utilities Menu. Press Select. Press Menu> until you see Print Menus. Press Select to print the page.) Look for Consumable Status on the printed page. You will then see the percentage of life remaining for each of the items.

Installing a toner cartridge
The toner cartridge contains the printers supply of toner, the material that adheres to the paper to create the printed page. When the toner cartridge is empty, Replace Toner appears on the operator panel display, indicating that it is time to replace the toner cartridge. NOTE: Enough residual toner remains in the printer at this point that you can press Go and continue printing for a short while. However, we strongly recommend that you change the toner cartridge immediately. If you do not, the printer will stop operating when Replace Toner To Continue appears on the display. You will then have to replace the toner cartridge before you can continue to use the printer. Although we advise you to shake a new toner cartridge vigorously before you install it in the printer, never remove a used cartridge and shake it in an attempt to extend the life of the cartridge. After removing a used toner cartridge, we recommend that you only insert a new cartridge in the toner box.
To install a new toner cartridge:
Open the toner box cover (Cover A).
Use the green handle to pull the old toner cartridge out of the toner box. See Recycling used supplies on page 110 for information on recycling the empty toner cartridge. NOTE: Lexmark does not recommend refilling used toner cartridges or purchasing refilled cartridges from a third party. Print quality and printer reliability cannot be guaranteed if you do. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using refilled cartridges.
Remove the new toner cartridge from its packing materials.
Turn the toner cartridge over so the handle is on top. Vigorously shake the cartridge in all directions to distribute the toner.
Pull the yellow clip out of the slot on the bottom of the toner cartridge. The slot on the toner cartridge must be in the correct position for the cartridge to be installed correctly. The clip ensures that the slot remains correctly oriented until you are ready to install the cartridge. After you pull out the clip, keep it in a convenient place in case you ever need to use it to realign the slot.
Align the guides on the sides of the toner cartridge with the slots inside the toner box. Lower the new toner cartridge into the toner box.
Close the toner box cover. Make sure the Replace Toner message is cleared from the operator panel display and Ready appears on the display. If the Replace Toner message is not cleared from the display, reinstall the toner cartridge.
Installing the photoconductor kit
The Replace PC Kit message indicates that it is time to replace the items in the photoconductor kit:

To replace the fuser:

Turn the printer off and disconnect the power cord.
Areas inside the printer may be hot. Allow the printer to cool for 20 minutes before replacing the fuser.
Loosen the two fuser retaining screws.
Grasp the old fuser with both hands and pull it straight out of the printer. If you agreed to return your old fuser to Lexmark in order to pay a reduced price for the new one, place the old fuser in the new fuser box and mail to Lexmark. Otherwise, discard the old fuser.
Remove the new fuser from its packing materials. Carefully remove any tape. Align the top left edge of the new fuser with the rail on the printer. Hold the fuser level and push it into the printer until it is firmly seated.
Tighten the two fuser retaining screws.
If you have a duplex unit attached to your printer, remove the gear cover on the fuser.
The gear on the duplex unit meshes with the gear on the fuser when you close the side door.
After you replace the fuser, reset the printers internal counter to clear the Replace Fuser message from the operator panel display. Resetting the counter helps prevent service calls by ensuring that the printer can alert you when it is again time to replace the fuser. The reset process only takes a few minutes.
Plug in the printer power cord. Press and hold the Select and Return buttons on the operator panel while you turn the printer on. When CONFIG MENU appears on the first line of the display, release the buttons. MAINT COUNTERS appears on the second line.
Press Select. Press Menu> until you see Reset Fuser. Press Select.
Resetting Fuser Count appears briefly on the display, and then is replaced by CONFIG MENU on the first line and MAINT COUNTERS

on the second line.

Installing a staple cartridge
When Staples Empty appears on the operator panel display, follow the steps below to insert a new staple cartridge in the optional finisher. For information about ordering staple cartridges, see page 107.

Open the finisher bin cover (Cover N).
Remove the stack of paper the finisher was trying to staple when the jam occurred.
Close the finisher bin cover. Turn the knob on the stapler cover to the unlocked position, and open the cover.
Turn the cartridge holder around to orient it as shown in the illustration in step 10. Use the metal tab to lift the staple guard, and pull out the sheet of staples. Discard the entire sheet.

Metal tab

Press down on the staple guard until it snaps securely into place.
Complete the steps in Priming the stapler on page 162.

Priming the stapler

After you clear a staple jam, prime the stapler to ensure the staples are in the proper position when the next stapled job is requested. To prime the stapler:
From the Ready display, press Menu> until Job Menu appears on the second line of the display. Press Select. Press Menu> or <Menu until Prime Stapler appears on the display. Press Select.
Priming Stapler appears on the display. The printer pulls a sheet
of paper from the tray specified in the Staple Prime Source menu, feeds it into the finisher, and attempts to staple it. (You may hear the stapler punch several times before the page is successfully stapled.) The printer then ejects the page into bin 2. If Priming Failed, Retry. Go/Stop? appears on the display:
Press Go to attempt priming the stapler again. Make sure the staple priming source tray specified in the Fin
ishing Menu has paper in it. Make sure the stapler is installed correctly, is not jammed, and has an ample supply of staples.
Resend your job to the printer.
Emptying the hole punch box
The cardboard box in the finisher, shown in the following illustration, collects the pieces of paper discarded by the finisher as it punches holes. The printer tracks the number of pages punched by the finisher. When the counter determines that the hole punch box is nearly full (after approximately 50,000 punched pages), Empty Box K appears on the operator panel display to alert you its time to empty the box. Each time you empty the box, make sure you also reset the internal counter.
WARNING: If you do not regularly empty the hole punch box, the
finisher may develop problems that require a service call. Complete the instructions in this section to empty the hole punch box.
Lift the hole punch box straight up, and slide it to the left. The bottom of the box is attached to the printer with hook and loop fasteners. It may require some force to lift the box.

Verify Print

If you send a Verify Print job, the printer prints one copy and holds the remaining copies you requested from the driver in printer memory. Use Verify Print to examine the first copy to see if it is satisfactory before printing the remaining copies. See Printing and deleting held jobs on page 215 if you need help printing the additional copies stored in memory. NOTE: Once all copies are printed, the Verify Print job is deleted from printer memory.

Confidential jobs

When you send a job to the printer, you can enter a personal identification number (PIN) from the driver. The PIN must be four digits using the numbers 16. The job is held in printer memory until you enter the same four-digit PIN from the operator panel and choose to print or delete the job. This ensures that the job does not print until you are there to retrieve it, and no one else using the printer can print the job. When you select Confidential Job from the Job Menu, the following prompt appears on the display:
Use the buttons on the operator panel to enter the four-digit PIN associated with your confidential job. The numbers next to the button names identify which button to press for each digit (16). As you enter the PIN, asterisks appear on the display to ensure confidentiality.

Enter PIN =****

If you enter an invalid PIN, the message No Jobs Found. Retry? appears. Press Go to reenter the PIN, or press Stop to exit the Confidential Job menu. Once you enter a valid PIN, you can choose to print or delete jobs matching the PIN you entered. (See Printing and deleting held jobs on page 215 for more information.) After printing all requested copies of the job, the printer deletes the confidential job from memory.

Appendix: Printer menus

You can change most printer settings from your software application or printer driver. Settings you change from the application or printer driver apply only to the job you are sending to the printer, and override any user defaults set from the operator panel.
If there is a printer feature you cannot control from the printer driver, use the printer operator panel or the remote operator panel available from the MarkVision utility. Keep in mind, however, that changing a printer setting from the operator panel or from MarkVision makes that setting the user default for all subsequent jobs sent to the printer. For information on using the operator panel buttons, see page ix. For information on MarkVision, refer to the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD. The following table provides an overview of the menus available for the Optra W810 printer. For a detailed listing of the values for each menu item, refer to the Complete Printer Reference on the Lexmark Web site (www.lexmark.com). NOTE: Menus or menu items in italics only appear when the required option is installed. Capitalized menu items (for example, PAPER SIZE) have submenus.
