Extending the tray for legal or folio size paper
To load legal or folio size paper, extend the paper tray. You may also attach a dust cover (not available for all models) on 
the back of the printer to protect the tray while it is extended.
1Press down on the latch at the back of the tray.
2Expand the tray until the extender locks into place.
Attaching the dust cover
The dust cover helps protect the paper tray from the environment. It also keeps the tray from being knocked out of position 
while it is extended.
Note:This feature may not be available for all models.
Attach the dust cover (if available) to the back of the printer by aligning the tabs on the cover to the holes on the printer, then 
snap the cover into place.

control panel indicator light is blinking. Doing so may cause a jam.

point where its leading edge can contact the paper guides. Load one sheet of the media in the feeder.
Hold transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side.
Insert envelopes with the flap side face down.
Load letterhead faceup, with the top of the sheet entering first.
If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper over.

							Linking trays

Printing
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. 
For example, if you have the same size and type of print media loaded in the paper tray and the optional paper drawer, the 
printer selects print media from the paper tray until it becomes empty, and then the printer automatically feeds print media 
from the next linked source—the optional drawer.
If you load the same size print media in each paper source, make sure the paper type is all the same type in order to link 
the trays. 
To set the paper type or size:
1Press   on the control panel.
2Press  until  Paper Menu appears, and then press  .
3Press  until  Paper Size/Type appears, and then press  .
4Press  until  Tray  Size/Type appears, and then press  .
5Press   until the   appears next to the media size you loaded, and then press  .
6Press   until the media type you loaded appears, and then press  .
7Press   repeatedly to return to the Ready state.
Once the trays you selected are loaded with the same size and type of print media, select the same Paper Type setting in 
the Paper menu for these sources.
To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type to a unique value in each one of the trays. If all the trays do not have the same 
type of print media when they are linked, you could mistakenly print a job on the wrong paper type.
Sending a job to print
A printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with your printer. When you choose Print from a software 
application, a window representing the printer driver opens. You can then select the appropriate settings for the specific job 
you are sending to the printer. Print settings selected from the driver override the default settings selected from the printer 
control panel.
You may need to click Properties or Setup from the initial Print box to see all of the available printer settings you can 
change. If you are not familiar with a feature in the printer driver window, open the online Help for more information.
To support all the printer features, use the Lexmark custom printer drivers supplied with your printer. Updated drivers, as 
well as a complete description of the driver packages and Lexmark driver support, are available from the Lexmark Web site. 
You can also use the system drivers built into your operating system.
To print a job from a typical Windows application:
1Open the file you want to print.
2From the “File” menu, select Print.
3Select the correct printer in the dialog. Modify the printer settings as appropriate (such as the pages you want to 
print or the number of copies).
4Click Properties or Setup to adjust printer settings that were not available on the first screen, and then click OK.
5Click OK or Print to send the job to the selected printer.

Printing held jobs
Printing and deleting held jobs
Held jobs such as Verify Print, Reserve Print, Repeat Print, and Bookmarks differ in function. These jobs are printed or 
deleted from the printer control panel.
Verify Print
If you send a Verify Print job, the printer prints one copy and holds the remaining copies you requested in printer memory. 
Use Verify Print to examine the first copy to see if it is satisfactory before printing the remaining copies. Once all copies are 
printed, the Verify Print job is automatically deleted from printer memory.
Reserve Print
If you send a Reserve Print job, the printer does not print the job immediately. It stores the job in memory so you can print 
the job later. The job is held in memory until you delete it from the Held Jobs menu. Reserve Print jobs may be deleted if the 
printer requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.
Repeat Print
If you send a Repeat Print job, the printer prints all requested copies of the job and stores the job in memory so you can 
print additional copies later. You can print additional copies as long as the job remains stored in memory. 
Note:Repeat Print jobs are automatically deleted from printer memory when the printer requires extra 
memory to process additional held jobs.
