Simplex letterhead Duplex letterhead Envelope To load print media: Note: Do not add or remove print media when the MFP is printing from the multipurpose feeder or when the control panel indicator light is blinking. Doing so may cause a jam.
4 Flex the sheets or envelopes back and forth to loosen them, then fan them. Do not fold or crease the print media. Straighten the edges on a level surface. Note: Hold transparencies by the edges, and avoid touching the print side. Fan the stack of transparencies to prevent jams. Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the transparencies. 5 Load the media in the tray. Use the stack height label as a guide for stack height when loading print media.
• Do not fill paper above the load line. Overfilling the tray may cause jams. Simplex (single sided) Duplex 6 Slide the side guide toward the inside of the tray until it lightly rests against the edge of the media. 7 Set the Paper Size and Paper Type for the multipurpose feeder to the correct value for the print media you loaded. See Setting the Paper Type and Paper Size for more information.
Closing the multipurpose feeder 1 Remove print media from the multipurpose feeder. 2 Push the extension tray in. 3 Close the multipurpose feeder cover. Loading the 2000-sheet drawer The optional 2000-sheet drawer can be used for plain paper, letterhead or other preprinted paper, labels, or transparencies. For trouble-free printing, make sure you: • • • • Do not load print media above the load line. Do not fold or crease the paper. Do not mix sizes or weights in the same source.
To load the 2000-sheet drawer: 1 Open the loading door. If the elevator tray is not already in the lowered position, push the elevator button to lower the tray. 2 Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, then fan them. Do not fold or crease the print media. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
3 Slightly bend the stack of print media as shown, and place it on the elevator tray with the preferred print side facing down. Align the stack of print media to the back of the drawer. Note: For duplex printing, letterhead or other preprinted paper must be loaded differently. Carefully align each stack as you load it to ensure a smooth edge where the stacks meet. Do not load print media above the load line. Note: When loading more than one ream of paper, we recommend you remove the top and bottom sheet.
Loading the envelope feeder The optional envelope feeder can accept a variety of envelope sizes. However, the envelope feeder must be adjusted correctly to ensure trouble-free printing. To load the envelope feeder: 1 Adjust the envelope support for the length of envelope you are loading.
4 Flex a stack of envelopes back and forth, and then straighten the edges on a level surface. Press down the corners to flatten them. Fan the envelopes. This prevents the edges of the envelopes from sticking together and helps them feed properly. 5 Load the stack of envelopes flap side down with the stamp area and the flap on the left. The end of the envelopes with the stamp area enters the envelope feeder first.
6 Slide the width guide to the left until it lightly touches the stack. Make sure the envelopes do not buckle. 7 Lower the envelope weight to touch the stack. 8 Set the Paper Size and Paper Type for the envelope feeder to the correct value for the print media you loaded. See Setting the Paper Type and Paper Size for more information.
Linking trays Tray linking enables the automatic linking feature for trays when you load the same size and type of print media in multiple sources. The MFP automatically links the trays; when one tray is empty, print media feeds from the next linked tray. For example, if you have the same size and type of print media loaded in tray 2 and tray 4, the MFP selects print media from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then the MFP automatically feeds print media from the next linked tray—tray 4.
8 Understanding paper and specialty media guidelines Print media is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. The MFP provides highquality printing on a variety of print media. You must consider a number of things concerning print media before you print. This chapter provides information to help you make print media selections.

Selecting print media Selecting the appropriate print media for the MFP helps you avoid printing problems. The following sections contain guidelines for choosing the correct print media for the MFP. • Paper • Card stock • Labels • Envelopes • Transparencies • Paper • Transparencies • Envelopes • Card stock Paper For the best print quality, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, grain long paper. Try a sample of any paper you are considering using with the MFP before buying large quantities,.
• Some 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 (see the Card Stock & Label Guide located on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.
Transparencies The MFP can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the transparency used. Always print samples on the transparencies you are considering before buying large quantities. The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. In Macintosh, be sure to set the Paper Type to Transparency in the Print dialog on the Imaging choice in the Copies & Pages pop-up menu.
• • • – Have postage stamps attached. – Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position. – Have nicked edges or bent corners. – Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes. Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering using, check with the envelope supplier. Load only one size of envelope at a time in the envelope feeder.
• Do not load labels with paper or transparencies in the same source; mixing print media can cause feeding problems and print quality problems. • Do not use label sheets with a 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 MFP and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void the MFP and cartridge warranties.
• Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated. • Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the MFP. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the MFP. We recommend the use of grain short card stock. • Storing print media Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.
• Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. See Storing print media. • Do not remove trays during a print job. • Push all trays in firmly after loading them. • Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size of print media you have loaded. Make sure the guides are not placed too tightly against the stack of print media. • If a jam occurs, clear the entire media path. See for more information. Note: If you have a recurring paper jam, see Paper frequently jams.

13 Troubleshooting Understanding MFP messages The MFP displays three types of messages: status messages, attendance messages, and service messages. Status messages provide information about the current state of the MFP. They require no action on your part. Attendance messages alert you to MFP problems that require your intervention. Service messages also alert you to problems that require intervention. However, the MFP will stop printing and the errors are non-recoverable.
• • • • The MFP is not plugged into any surge protectors, uninterrupted power supplies, or extension cords. Other electrical equipment plugged into the outlet is working. The MFP is turned on. The MFP cable is securely attached to the MFP and the host computer, print server, option, or other network device. Once you have checked each of these possibilities, turn the MFP off, wait at least 10 seconds, and then turn the MFP back on. This often fixes the problem.
Jobs do not print. Held jobs do not print. The MFP is not ready to receive data. Make sure Ready or Power Saver appears on the display before sending a job to print. The output bin is full. Remove the stack of paper from the output bin. The specified input tray is empty. Load paper in the tray. You are using the wrong MFP driver or are printing to a file. • Verify you are using the MFP driver associated with the MFP.
Symptom Cause Solution Incorrect characters print. You are using an incompatible parallel cable. If using a parallel interface, make sure you are using an IEEE 1284-compliant parallel cable. We recommend Lexmark part number 1329605 (10 ft) or 1427498 (20 ft) for the standard parallel port. The MFP is in Hex Trace mode. If Ready Hex appears on the display, you must exit Hex Trace mode before you can print your job.
Solving copy quality problems The following solutions will help solve copy problems. For additional information, see Copy tips. Symptom Solution Unwanted patterns (Moire) appear when a document is copied using Photograph mode. Change the content mode to Printed Image under Copy Æ Options Æ Content. Black text is too light or disappearing. • Change the content mode to Text under Copy Æ Options Æ Content. • Adjust the Darkness setting under the Copy menu.
The images on the fax I sent are not clear. Touch Options, then under Content, change the setting to Text/Photo or Photo. Increase the output resolution. Note: This will increase the amount of time required for the scan and will increase the quality of the fax output. The Caller ID is not functioning properly. Try selecting a different format from the General Fax Settings menu. Touch Caller ID. Touch FSK or DTMF.
Option Action Internal print server • Make sure the internal print server (also called an internal network adapter or INA) is securely connected to the MFP system board. • Make sure you are using the correct cable, that it is securely connected, and the network software is correctly set up.
