Linking and unlinking trays
Linking trays

Type settings for all trays must be set from the Paper menu.
Unlinking trays
Unlinked trays have settings that are not the same as the settings of any other tray. To unlink a tray using the Paper
menu, change the Paper Type...

Paper and specialty media guidelines
Paper guidelines
Selecting the correct paper or specialty media reduces printing problems. For the best print quality, try a sample of the
paper or specialty media before buying large quantities.

fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling.
Unacceptable paper
The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:
Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless papers,...

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

can be made that all recycled paper will feed well.
Lexmark consistently tests its printers with recycled paper...
