Step 7: Install supplies

Installing the oil bottle

and cleaning roll

Warning! It takes approximately 30

minutes for the oil to reach the fuser after initial oil bottle installation. Make sure the oil bottle has been installed for at least 30 minutes before printing.

Note: If a duplex unit is installed, open

the duplex unit top door also.

Your printer shi ps with an oil bottle and clea ning roll that you must install to operate your printer. Oil lubricates the fuser and the cleaning roll removes excess toner and other contaminants from the fuser.

Without oil, your fuser does not operate properly. Insufficient lubrication cause s paper jams and reduces the life of your fuser. You must wait 30 minutes after installing the oil bottle before printing.

To install the oil bottle and cleaning roll:

1 Slide the top door release latch toward the

front of the printer.

2 Lift the top do or.

Step 8: Attach the cab les

You can attach your printer to a LAN by:

• Connecting the printer dir ectly to the server

using a parallel, USB, or serial cable. Your printer standard parallel port requires

an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cab le. We recommend Lexmark part number 1329605 (10 ft) or 1427498 (20 ft). If you use something other than an IEE E -compliant cable, you may not be able to access all of your printer functions.

If you’re attaching a serial cable, we recommend Lexmark part number 1038693 (50 ft). Attach the cable to the serial connector on the optional tri-port interface card you installed in the printer.

CAUTION!When connecting a cable to

the printer from another powered component such as a computer or external fax modem, make sure you turn off and unplug the component power cord before connecting any cables to the printer.

• Connecting the printer directly to the LAN: – Use an external print server such as Lex-

mark’s MarkNet Pro.

– Use a print server, such as the

MarkNet N2000 Series server described on page 37.

– Use the optional tri-port interface card to

connect to a LocalTalk network.

For more information about your particular interface card, refer to the documentati on that came w ith it.

Attach the cables

Note: Connect only one network cable

even if the internal print server has more than one network port.

To attach a cable to your printer:

1 At the right rear of printer, locate the paral-

lel or the optional port connec tor.

Depending on the options you have installed, additional parallel, serial, USB, or network connectors may be available.

Parallel connector

Optional Ethernet connector

2 Connect the appropriate cable.

3 Plug the power cord into rear of the printer

and into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Attach the cables

4 Turn the pri nte r on. 5 Continue with “Load the paper tray” on

page 65.

Attach the cables

Step 9: Load the paper tray

Your printer has one standard 250-sheet tray— tray 1—that holds A4, letter, and executive size paper. An optional 250-sheet legal tray is also available. You can also load transparencies, envelopes, and card stock in tray 1. F or details about the types of media your printer supports, refer to the Lexmark C720 online information.

Note: If you load transparencies in

tray 1, make sure you change the Paper Type setting to Transparency. See “Changing the Paper Type setting” on page 77 for more information.

If you installed an optional paper drawer, the instructions are the same for loading paper in that tray. However, load only paper in tray 2.

To load the tray:

1 Pull the paper tray completely out of the

printer.

2 Set the paper tray on a flat surface.

Changing the

Paper Type setting

It is important to verify the Paper Type settings are accurate for all the installed paper sources. Refer to the menu settings page you printed. The Paper Type is listed for each of the instal led paper sources.

Paper Type refers to the type of media loaded in the sources: plain paper, letterhead, envelopes, and transparencies. Since tray 1 can hold different media, you can customize tray 1 Paper Type settings.

The printer uses the Paper Type setting to optimize print quality for the media you specified. For example, selecting the Transparency paper type slows the printing process to produce the best transparency possible.

The Paper Type setting also affects the printer automatic source selection ca pability, as well as the tray linking function. For these reasons, it’s important to change the setting each time you change the media in the trays.

Refer to the Lexmark C720 online information for more detailed information about the paper types supported by each paper source, as well as ways
