Use the numbers located next to the names of the buttons to enter your personal identification number (PIN) after you send a confidential job. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 See the menu map for a brief overview of the printer menus available from the operator panel.
Canceling a print job From the printer operator panel If the job you want to cancel is printing, and Busy appears on the display: 1 Press Menu until you see Job Menu, and then press Select. 2 Press Menu until you see Cancel Job, and then press Select. From the Windows taskbar When you send a job to print, a small printer icon appears in the right corner of the taskbar. 1 Double-click the printer icon. A list of print jobs appears. 2 Select the job you want to cancel. 3 Press Delete on your keyboard.
Loading the trays Helpful hints: • Never mix media types within a tray. • Flex the print media back and forth to loosen the sheets, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the print media. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface. • Never remove paper trays while a print job is printing. It could damage the tray or the printer. Loading 500-sheet trays Follow these instructions to load any of the 500-sheet trays. 1 Remove the tray.
2 Squeeze the front guide lever and slide the guide to the front of the tray. 3 Squeeze the side guide lever and slide the guide to the correct position for the size paper you are loading. Icons along the back of the tray indicate paper sizes. 4 Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.
5 Place the paper against the back left corner of the tray, print side down. Do not load bent or wrinkled paper. Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the tray may cause jams. 6 Squeeze the front guide lever and slide the guide until it firmly touches the stack of paper. 7 Reinstall the tray. Make sure the tray is pushed completely into the printer.
Loading the 2000-sheet tray Follow these instructions to load a 2000-sheet tray. Do not load any print media other than paper in the 2000-sheet tray. 1 Pull open the tray. 2 Squeeze the side guide lever, lift the guide, and place it into the appropriate slot for the size paper you are loading. 3 Squeeze the two front guide levers and slide the guide to the correct position for the size paper you are loading. LT.LG A4 LT.
4 Slide the bottom support toward the front of the tray until it touches the front guide. 5 Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface. 6 Place the paper against the back left corner of the tray, print side down. Do not load bent or wrinkled print media. 7 Close the tray. Make sure the tray is pushed completely into the printer. Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height.
Loading the multipurpose feeder You can use the multipurpose feeder one of two ways: • Paper tray—As a paper tray, you can load paper or specialty media in the feeder with the intention of leaving the media in the feeder. • Manual bypass feeder—As a manual bypass feeder, you send a print job to the feeder while specifying the type and size of media from your computer. The printer then prompts you to load the appropriate print media before it prints.
4 Arrange the stack of paper or specialty media correctly for the size, type, and print method you are using. 5 Place the paper or specialty media, print side up, along the left side of the multipurpose feeder, and then push it in as far as it will easily go. Do not force the media. Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the feeder may cause jams. 6 Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide until it lightly touches the side of the stack.
Printing on specialty media (transparencies, labels, other) Follow these instructions when you want to print on media such as transparencies, card stock, glossy paper, labels, or envelopes. 1 Load the media as specified for the tray you are using. For help, see any of the following: – – Loading the trays Loading the multipurpose feeder 2 From the printer operator panel, set the Paper Type and Paper Size according to the media you loaded.
Linking trays • If you load the same size and type of paper or specialty media in more than one tray, the printer automatically links the trays. This means that when one tray is empty, it feeds from the next linked tray. For example, if you have the same size and type of paper or specialty media loaded in tray 2 and tray 4, the printer feeds from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then it feeds from the next linked tray—tray 4.
Holding a job in the printer When sending a job to the printer, you can specify in the driver that you want the printer to hold the job in memory. When you are ready to print the job, you must go to the printer and use the operator panel menus to identify which held job you want to print. Note: Print and Hold functions require a minimum of 128MB available printer memory. We recommend a minimum of 256MB available printer memory and a hard disk.
7 Press Select. – – If you are looking for a particular job, press Menu to scroll through the list of available jobs, and press Select when the correct job is displayed. An asterisk (*) appears next to the job name indicating you have chosen to print or delete that job. If you are prompted to enter the number of copies you want to print, use Menu to increase or decrease the number on the display, and then press Select. 8 Press Go to print or delete specific jobs you have marked.
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 1–6. The job is then held in printer memory until you enter the same four-digit PIN from the printer 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.
Tips for successful printing 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 21°C (70°F) 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 or curl.
Avoiding jams You can avoid most paper jams by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer. See the following for loading instructions: • Loading 500-sheet trays • Loading the 2000-sheet tray • Loading the multipurpose feeder The following hints can help you avoid paper jams: • Use only recommended paper. Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on our Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.

How is color specified in a document to be printed? Software applications typically specify document color using RGB or CMYK color combinations. Additionally, they commonly let users modify the color of each object in a document. Since the procedures to modify colors vary depending upon the application, refer to the software application's Help section for instruction.
What is Manual Color Correction? The color conversion tables applied to each object on the printed page when using the default Auto Color Correction setting generate preferred color for the majority of documents. Occasionally a user may want to apply a different color table mapping. This customization is accomplished using the Manual Color menu and the Manual Color Correction setting. Manual Color Correction applies the RGB and CMYK color conversion table mappings as defined in the Manual Color menu.
Which Color Samples pages to use for a particular color matching problem depends upon the Color Correction setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual), the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images), and how the color of the object is specified in the software application (RGB or CMYK combinations).
