Storing paper 51 Media specifications Printing on letterhead Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the chosen preprinted letterhead is acceptable for laser printers. Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. Use the following table for help when loading letterhead in the media sources. Transparencies Feed transparencies from the standard tray or the multipurpose feeder. Try a sample of any transparencies being considered for use with the printer before buying large quantities. When printing on transparencies: •Be sure to set the Paper Type to Transparency from the printer driver, MarkVision™ Professional, or the operator panel to avoid damaging the printer. •Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing hazardous emissions. •To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies. •Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together. Selecting transparencies The printer 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 being considered for use before buying large quantities. Lexmark recommends Lexmark Part Number 12A8240 letter size transparency and Lexmark Part Number 12A8241 A4 size transparency. The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. (See “Paper Type” in the Menus and Messages Guide on the publications CD for detailed information about this setting.) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 230°C (446°F). Use only transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. For detailed information, see the Card Stock & Label Guide, which is available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications. Envelopes Try a sample of any envelopes being considered for use with the printer before buying large quantities. For more information, see Loading the multipurpose feeder. When printing on envelopes: •To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.

Storing paper 52 Media specifications •Set the Paper Source in the Paper Menu based on the source in use, set the Paper Type to Envelope, and select the correct envelope size from the operator panel, the printer driver, or from MarkVision Professional. •For best performance, use envelopes made from 90 g/m 2 (24 lb bond) paper. Use up to 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond) weight for the 250-sheet standard tray or 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond) weight for envelopes as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. Envelopes with 100% cotton content must not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) weight. •Use only new, undamaged envelopes. •For best performance and to minimize jams, do not use envelopes that: –Have excessive curl or twist –Are stuck together or damaged in any way –Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing –Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars –Have an interlocking design –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 any doubts exist about the envelopes considered for use, check with the envelope supplier. •A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes. Labels The printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are supplied in letter size, A4 size, and legal size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). Try a sample of any labels considered for use with the printer before purchasing a large quantity. Note:This printer is intended for occasional paper label printing only. For detailed information on label printing, characteristics and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications. When printing on labels: •Set the Paper Type menu item to Labels in the Paper Menu. Set the Paper Type from the printer operator panel, the printer driver, or from MarkVision Professional. •Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same source; mixing media can cause feeding problems. •Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material. •Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the die cut. •Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and cartridge warranties. •Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. •Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label. •Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. Zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from edges is recommended. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty. •If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, remove a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip on the leading and driver edge, and use a non-oozing adhesive.

Storing media 53 Media specifications •Remove a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer. •Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes. •Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive. Card stock Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content, thickness, and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. For more information on the preferred weight for the grain direction of media, see Identifying media sources and specifications. Try a sample of any card stock considered for use with the printer before purchasing a large quantity. For more information on the preferred weight of media, see Media types and weights (output options). When printing on card stock: •Set the Paper Type menu item in the Paper Menu to Card Stock from the operator panel, the printer driver, or from MarkVision Professional. Set the Paper Weight to CardStock Weight, and select the CardStock Weight as Normal or Heavy for the value. Set this from the operator panel, the printer driver, or from MarkVision Professional. Use Heavy for card stock weighing more than or heavier than 163 g/m 2 (90 lb). •Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the 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. •The use of grain long card stock is recommended. Storing media Use the following guidelines for proper media storage. These help avoid media feeding problems and uneven print quality: •For best results, store media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%. Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18 to 24°C (65 to 75°F) with a relative humidity of 40 to 60%. •Store cartons of media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor. •When storing individual packages of media out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl. Do not place anything on top of the media packages. Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals

Maintaining the printer 60 4Maintaining the printer Periodically, you need to complete certain tasks to maintain optimum print quality. These tasks are covered in this chapter. If several people are using the printer, you may want to designate a key operator to do the setup and maintenance of your printer. Refer printing problems and maintenance tasks to this key operator. In the U.S., contact Lexmark at 1-800-539-6275 for information about Lexmark Authorized Supplies Dealers in your area. In other countries or regions, visit the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com or contact the place where you bought your printer. Storing supplies Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packaging until you are ready to use them. Do not expose supplies to: •Direct sunlight •Temperatures above 35°C (95°F) •High humidity (above 80%) •Salty air •Corrosive gases •Heavy dust Determining the status of supplies The printer operator panel alerts you once a supply item or maintenance is required. You can also view the status of supplies in your printer on the operator panel unless the printer is printing or in a busy state. The header or gray area at the top of the display will indicate the printer is Ready and lets you know if any trays are low. Selecting Status / Supplies on the display will open the Status / Supplies screen where you can view the status of the various trays and open the supplies screen to view the current status of your print cartridge.
