Printing from a flash drive
Printing from a flash drive
Notes:
Before printing an encrypted PDF file, enter the file password from the printer control panel.
You cannot print files for which you do not have printing permissions.
1Insert a flash drive into the USB port.
The USB Drive home screen appears.
Printing81 
						

							Notes:
If you insert the flash drive when the printer requires attention, such as when a jam has occurred, then the
printer ignores the flash drive.
If you insert the flash drive while the printer is processing other print jobs, then Busy appears. After these
print jobs are processed, you may need to view the held jobs list to print documents from the flash drive.
Warning—Potential Damage: Do not touch the USB cable, any network adapter, any connector, the memory
device, or the printer in the areas shown while actively printing, reading, or writing from the memory device. A
loss of data can occur.
2From the printer control panel, touch Print from USB, and then select the document you want to print.
3Touch the arrows to increase the number of copies to print, and then touch Print.
Notes:
Do not remove the flash drive from the USB port until the document has finished printing.
If you leave the flash drive in the printer after leaving the initial USB menu screen, then you can still print
files from the flash drive as held jobs.
Supported flash drives and file types
Notes:
High‑speed USB flash drives must support the full‑speed standard. Low-speed USB devices are not supported.
USB flash drives must support the File Allocation Table (FAT) system. Devices formatted with New Technology
File System (NTFS) or any other file system are not supported. Printing82

Printing on specialty media
Tips on using letterhead
Use letterhead designed specifically for laser printers.
Print samples on the letterhead being considered for use before buying large quantities.
Before loading letterhead, flex the sheets to prevent them from sticking together.
Observe proper page orientation.
SourcePrint sidePaper orientation
–Standard 550‑sheet tray
–Optional 550‑sheet tray
–Optional 2000‑sheet
high‑capacity feederPreprinted letterhead design is placed
faceup.The top edge of the sheet with the logo is
placed at the left side of the tray.
Duplex (two‑sided) printing

facedown.The top edge of the sheet with the logo is
placed at the right side of the tray.
Multipurpose feeder (simplex
printing)Preprinted letterhead design is placed
facedown.The top edge of the sheet with the logo
should enter the multipurpose feeder
first.
Multipurpose feeder (duplex
printing)Preprinted letterhead design is placed
faceup.The top edge of the sheet with the logo
should enter the multipurpose feeder last.
Note: Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the chosen preprinted letterhead is acceptable
for laser printers.
Tips on using transparencies
Print a test page on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.
Feed transparencies from the multipurpose feeder only.
From the Paper menu, set the MP Feeder Type to Transparency. Printing83 
						

							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, flex the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
We recommend Lexmark transparencies. For ordering information, see the Lexmark Web site at
www.lexmark.com.
Tips on using envelopes
Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.
Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure that the
envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 220°C (446°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
For best performance, use envelopes made from 90‑g/m2 (24‑lb bond) paper or 25% cotton. All‑cotton envelopes
must not exceed 70‑g/m
2 (20‑lb bond) weight.
Use only new envelopes from undamaged packages.
To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:
–Have excessive curl or twist.
–Are stuck together or damaged in any way.
–Have windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing.
–Have metal clasps, string ties, or 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 bent corners.
–Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes.
Adjust the width guides to fit the width of the envelopes.
Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes.
Tips on using labels
Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.
Note: Paper labels are supported. Other media such as vinyl may show print quality defects in some environments,
and prolonged vinyl label usage may reduce fuser life.
For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available on
the Lexmark Web site at 
http://support.lexmark.com.
When printing on labels:
Use labels designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to verify that:
–The labels can withstand temperatures up to 190°C (374°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
–Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats can withstand up to 25 psi (172 kPa) pressure without
delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes. Printing84 
						

							Do not use labels with slick backing material.
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.
Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.
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.
Be sure adhesive backing does not reach to the sheet edge. 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 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) strip on the leading and driver edge, and
use a non‑oozing adhesive.
Portrait orientation works best, especially when printing bar codes.
Tips on using card stock
Card stock is heavy, single‑ply specialty media. Many of its variable characteristics, such as moisture content, thickness,
and texture, can significantly impact print quality. Print samples on the card stock being considered for use before
buying large quantities.
When printing on card stock:
Make sure the Paper Type is Card Stock.
Select the appropriate Paper Texture setting.
Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing may significantly affect the print quality and cause jams or
other paper‑handling problems.
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the card stock can withstand temperatures up to 190°C (374°F)
without releasing hazardous emissions.
Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting
introduces semi‑liquid and volatile components into the printer.
Use grain short card stock when possible.
Printing confidential and other held jobs
Storing print jobs in the printer
You can set the printer to store print jobs in the printer memory until you start the print job from the printer control
panel.
All print jobs that can be initiated by the user at the printer are called held jobs.
Note: Confidential, Verify, Reserve, and Repeat print jobs may be deleted if the printer requires extra memory to
process additional held jobs. Printing85 
						

							Print job typeDescription
Confidential Confidential lets you hold print jobs in the computer until you enter the PIN from
the control panel.
Note: The PIN is set from the computer. It must be four digits, using the
numbers 0–9.
Verify Verify lets you print one copy of a print job while the printer holds the remaining
copies. It allows you to examine if the first copy is satisfactory. The print job is
automatically deleted from the printer memory once all copies are printed.
Reserve Reserve allows the printer to store print jobs for printing at a later time. The print
jobs are held until deleted from the Help Jobs menu.
Repeat Repeat prints and stores print jobs in the printer memory for reprinting.
Printing confidential and other held jobs
Note: Confidential and Verify print jobs are automatically deleted from memory after printing. Repeat and Reserve
jobs are held in the printer until you choose to delete them.
