    							Printing the menu settings and network setup page
    44
    Using the operator panels
    The Lexmark E120n (network model), has a resident Web page, which can be accessed from the browser. To access the 
    resident Web page, type the printer’s IP address in the URL address field of the browser (for example, http://
    192.168.236.24). If you do not know the IP address of your printer, it can be found on the network setup page. See Printing 
    the menu settings and network setup page.
    Some resident Web page features include a real-time status window of the printer and details of the printer’s configuration, 
    such as current memory and engine code levels. If you have administrative rights, you can also change printer settings.
    Printing the menu settings and network setup page
    To print the menu settings and network setup pages, press the Continue button from the Ready state. The printer 
    automatically prints the menu settings and network setup page.
    A list of the printer settings and the current default values are printed on the menu settings page. The current default 
    settings are marked with an asterisk. The network setup page confirms the network Status is “Connected” and lists the 
    current network settings.
    Restoring factory defaults
    This function will return most of the settings back to their factory values. The display language and the settings in the 
    Network and USB menus are not returned to the factory defaults. 
    To restore the printer to the original factory defaults, press and hold the Cancel button for more than three seconds.
    Note:Before restoring the factory defaults, make sure the host computer or network has stopped sending 
    information to the printer.

    Print media tasks and tips
    Types of print media 
    Receive optimal use from the printer by properly loading trays. Never mix media types within a tray.
    Choosing appropriate print media
    To reduce printing problems and receive the best print quality, try a sample of the media you are considering before buying 
    large quantities.
    Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on our Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com for more information 
    about which print media provides optimum results.
    Paper
    For the best print quality, use 20 lb (75 g/m2) xerographic, grain long paper.
    The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 16 to 28 lb bond (60 to105 g/m
    2) grain long. Paper lighter 
    than 16 lb (60 g/m2) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. 
    The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of 185°C (365°F). Use only paper able to withstand 
    these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. Check with the manufacturer 
    or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.

    							Choosing appropriate print media

    Print media tasks and tips
    Preprinted forms and letterhead
    Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
    Choose forms and letterhead types that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
    Avoid rough or heavily textured surfaces.
    Use media printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 
    185°C (365°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner. Inks 
    that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact the 
    supplier.
    Transparencies
    Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand 
    temperatures of 185°C (365°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
    We recommend Lexmark laser printer transparencies: part number 70X7240 for letter size transparencies; part 
    number 12A5010 for A4 size transparencies.
    To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on transparencies.
    Envelopes
    Use envelopes made from 24 lb (90 g/m2) bond paper, or with a maximum weight of 28 lb (105 g/m2)
    Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 185°C (365°F) without:
    –sealing
    –excessive curling
    –wrinkling
    –releasing hazardous emissions
    Do not use envelopes that:
    –Have excessive curl
    –Are stuck together
    –Are damaged in any way
    –Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossments
    –Have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
    –Have postage stamps attached
    –Have exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position
    –Are self-sealing
    If uncertain about the envelopes being considered for use, check with the supplier.
    A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperatures may seal envelopes.
    Labels
    Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 185°C (365°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or 
    releasing hazardous emissions. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must also be able to 
    withstand 25 pounds per square inch (psi) (172 kilopascals) pressure.
    Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.
    Do not print a large number of labels continuously.
    Do not use vinyl labels.

    Print media tasks and tips
    Card stock
    Use card stock with a maximum weight of 43 lb (163 g/m2) bond and a minimum size of 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inch).
    Preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect 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.
    Storing print media
    Use the following guidelines to avoid print media feeding problems and uneven print quality.
    Store all print media in an environment where temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and relative humidity is 
    40%.
    Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf rather than directly on the floor surface.
    If storing individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so edges do 
    not buckle, curl, or become damaged.
    Do not place anything on top of paper packages.
    Store transparencies and envelopes in their original boxes.
    Loading print media into Tray 1
    The printer has two print media sources: Tray 1 and a multi-sheet priority feeder. Media in the priority feeder will be picked 
    first. After the supply of media has been used up, media will be picked from Tray 1

    Print media tasks and tips
    Follow the steps below to load print media into Tray 1:
    1Open paper cover by lifting up until the cover clicks into a fully open state.
    2Adjust the slide and attached backstop to the length of the selected print media.
    Note:The slide with attached backstop is a dual-action mechanism. The rectangular slide can be adjusted 
    in and out to allow for the multiple sizes of print media the printer supports. The attached backstop 
    can be adjusted in and out to fit the length of the multiple sizes of print media the printer supports.
    Note:Tray 1 width can be adjusted by pushing in on the left guide. To increase the width, squeeze the tab 
    attached to the right guide and slide to the right until the selected media width is matched.

    Print media tasks and tips
    Prepare a stack of print media for loading by flexing or fanning it back and forth. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
    3Place the prepared stack of print media into the tray and push the attached backstop lightly against the end of the 
    loaded stack.
    4Push the guides lightly against the loaded stack of print media.
    Note:Use care not to overfill. Placing more than 150 sheets into Tray 1 may cause jams.
