Loading paper and specialty media This section explains how to load the 550-sheet trays, the 2,000-sheet tray, and the multipurpose feeder. It also includes information about paper orientation, setting the Paper Size and Paper Type, and linking and unlinking trays. Setting the Paper Size and Paper Type The Paper Size setting is automatically sensed according to the position of the paper guides in each tray except the standard 550-sheet tray and the multipurpose tray.
8 Touch Submit to save your selection. Submitting Selection appears, followed by the Paper menu. 9 Touch to return to the home screen. Loading trays Note: Do not remove trays while a job prints or while Busy appears on the display. Doing so may cause a jam. 1 Pull the tray completely out. 2 Squeeze and slide the width guides to the correct position for the size of paper you are loading. Use the size indicators on the bottom of the tray to help position the guides.
4 Flex a stack of paper back and forth to loosen the sheets, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface. 5 Load the paper stack toward the back of the tray with the recommended print side faceup. The load line on the left side of the paper tray indicates the maximum height for loading paper. When loading preprinted letterhead for simplex printing, place the header toward the front of the tray.
6 Insert the tray. 7 If the paper type you loaded differs from the type that was previously loaded in the tray, then change the Paper Type setting for the tray. Loading the multipurpose feeder The multipurpose feeder accommodates a variety of media types, including envelopes.
1 Press the tray release latch to the left, and then pull the multipurpose tray down. 2 Gently pull the extension out until it is fully extended. 3 Flex sheets of paper or specialty media back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface. Paper Envelopes * Avoid touching the print side of transparencies. Be careful not to scratch them.
Transparencies* * Avoid touching the print side of transparencies. Be careful not to scratch them. 4 Load the paper or specialty media. Slide the stack into the multipurpose feeder until it comes to a stop. Notes: • • • • • Do not exceed the maximum stack height by forcing paper under the stack height limiter. Load only one size and type of media at a time. Media should lie flat and fit loosely in the multipurpose tray.
Loading the 2000-sheet tray 1 Pull the tray out. 2 Pull up and slide the width guide to the correct position for the paper size being loaded. 3 Unlock the length guide.
4 Push the length guide release latch to raise the length guide, slide the guide to the correct position for the paper size being loaded, and then lock the 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 on a level surface.
Single-sided printing Duplex (two-sided) printing Note: Notice the maximum fill line on the side of the tray, which indicates the maximum height for loading paper. Do not overload the tray. 7 Insert the tray.
Linking and unlinking trays Linking trays Tray linking is useful for large print jobs or multiple copies. When one linked tray is empty, paper feeds from the next linked tray. When the Paper Size and Paper Type settings are the same for any trays, the trays are automatically linked. The Paper Size setting is automatically sensed according to the position of the paper guides in each tray except the Standard 550-sheet tray and the multipurpose tray.
Changing a Custom Type name You can use the Embedded Web Server or MarkVisionTM to define a name other than Custom Type for each of the custom paper types that are loaded. When a Custom Type name is changed, the menus display the new name instead of Custom Type . To change a Custom Type name from the Embedded Web Server: 1 Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser.
Paper and specialty media guidelines Paper guidelines Paper characteristics The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Consider these characteristics when evaluating new paper stock. Weight The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 220 g/m2 (16 to 58 lb bond) grain long. Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best performance, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) grain long paper.
Fiber content Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically treated pulped wood. This content provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling.
Using recycled paper and other office papers As an environmentally conscious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled office paper produced specifically for use in laser (electrophotographic) printers. In 1998, Lexmark presented to the US government a study demonstrating that recycled paper produced by major mills in the US fed as well as non-recycled paper. However, no blanket statement can be made that all recycled paper will feed well.
Supported paper sizes, types, and weights The following tables provide information on standard and optional paper input sources and the types of paper they support. Note: To use a paper size that is unlisted, configure a Universal Paper Size. Supported paper sizes Measurements apply to simplex (one-sided) printing only. For duplex (two-sided) printing, the minimum size is 139.7 x 210 mm (5.50 x 8.27 in.).
