Loading the trays

Helpful hints:

• Never mix media types within a tray.

• Flex the print media back and forth to loosen the sheets, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease

the print media. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.

• Never remove paper trays while a print job is printing. It could damage the tray or the printer.

6 Place the paper against the back left corner of the tray, print side down.

Do not load bent or wrinkled print media.

7 Close the tray.

Make sure the tray is pushed completely into the printer.

Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the tray may cause paper jams.

Loading the multipurpose feeder

You can use the multipurpose feeder one of two ways:

• Paper tray—As a paper tray, you can load paper or specialty media in the feeder with the intention

of leaving the media in the feeder.

• Manual bypass feeder—As a manual bypass feeder, you send a print job to the feeder while

specifying the type and size of media from your computer. The printer then prompts you to load the appropriate print media before it prints.

To load the multipurpose feeder:

1 Open the multipurpose feeder.

2 Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide all the way toward the front of the printer.

3 Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the print

media. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.

Arrange the stack of paper or specialty media correctly for the size, type, and print method you are using.

5 Place the paper or specialty media, print side up, along the left side of the multipurpose feeder,

and then push it in as far as it will easily go. Do not force the media.

Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the feeder may cause jams.

6 Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide until it lightly touches the side of the stack.

7 If you are loading a different type of media than was previously loaded in the tray, change the

Paper Type setting for that tray on the operator panel. See “Paper Type” on page 62 for more information.

Printing on specialty media (transparencies, labels, other)

Follow these instructions when you want to print on media such as transparencies, card stock, glossy paper, labels, or envelopes.

1 Load the media as specified for the tray you are using. For help, see any of the following:

– Loading the trays – Loading the multipurpose feeder

2 From the printer operator panel, set the Paper Type and Paper Size according to the media you

loaded.

Note: If the type of the media you are loading is the same as the media previously loaded,

you do not need to change the Paper Type setting.

To change a Paper Type or Paper Size setting:

a Press Menu until you see Paper Menu, and then press Select. b Press Menu until you see Paper Type (or Paper Size), and then press Select.

Tray 1 Type (or Tr ay 1 Size) appears on the second line of the display.

c Press Select if you want to change the Tray 1 Type (or Tray 1 Size) setting or press Menu to

scroll to another source.

d Press Menu to scroll through a list of possible paper types (or sizes). e When you see the correct paper type (or size), press Select to save the type as the default. f Press Go to return the printer to the Ready state.

3 From the computer software application, set the paper type, size, and source according to the

media you loaded.

a In your word processor, spreadsheet, browser, or other application, select File Print. b Click Properties (or Options, Printer, or Setup, depending on the application) to view the

printer driver settings.

c Select the tray containing the specialty media from the Form Source list box. d Select your media type (transparencies, envelopes, and so on) from the Media Type list box. e Select the size of the specialty media from the Form Type list box. f Click OK, and then send your print job as usual.

Linking trays

• If you load the same size and type of paper or specialty media in more than one tray, the printer

automatically links the trays. This means that when one tray is empty, it feeds from the next linked tray.

For example, if you have the same size and type of paper or specialty media loaded in tray 2 and tray 4, the printer feeds from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then it feeds from the next linked tray—tra y 4.

• If you load the same size paper or specialty media in each tray, make sure it is also all the same

type to link the trays.

Once the trays you selected are loaded with the same size and type of paper or specialty media, select the same Paper Type setting in the Paper Menu for these sources.

• To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type or Paper Size to a unique value in each one of the

trays.

Linking bins

If you attach an optional finisher or mailbox to your printer, you can link output bins, or otherwise specify how the printer sends jobs to the bins, by changing the Configure Bins settings in the Paper Menu.

Value Description

Mailbox Lets you select an output bin when you send a job to print. (If you prefer, you can select a

line of the display.

3 Press Menu until you see the value you want, and then press Select to save the value as the bin

configuration default.

4 Press Go to return the printer to the Ready state.

For more information, see Configure Bins and Bin <x> Full.

Holding a job in the printer

When sending a job to the printer, you can specify in the driver that you want the printer to hold the job in memory. When you are ready to print the job, you must go to the printer and use the operator panel menus to identify which held job you want to print.

Note: Print and Hold functions require a minimum of 128MB available printer memory. We

recommend a minimum of 256MB available printer memory and a hard disk.

Printing and deleting held jobs

Once held jobs are stored in printer memory, y ou can use the printer operator panel to specify what you want to do with one or more of the jobs. You can select either Confidential Job or Held Jobs (Repeat Print, Reserve Print, and Verify Print jobs) from the Job Menu. If you select Confidential Job, you must enter the personal identification number (PIN) you specified in the driver when you sent the job. See Confidential

jobs for more information.

From either the Confidential Job or the Held Jobs menu items, you have five choices:

• Print All Jobs

• Print A Job

• Delete All Jobs

• Delete A Job

• Print Copies

Accessing held jobs from the operator panel

1 To access held jobs from the operator panel:

– If the printer is Busy, press Menu and the Job Menu appears. – If the printer is Ready, continue to step 2.

2 Press Menu until you see Held Jobs or Confidential Job on the operator panel display, depending

press Select when the correct job is displayed. An asterisk (*) appears next to the job name indicating you have chosen to print or delete that job.

– If you are prompted to enter the number of copies you want to print, use Menu to increase or

decrease the number on the display, and then press Select.

8 Press Go to print or delete specific jobs you have marked.

The printer briefly shows messages indicating what Print and Hold functions it is performing.

Recognizing when format errors occur

If the symbol appears on the display, it indicates that the printer had trouble formatting one or more of the held jobs. These formatting problems are most commonly the result of insufficient printer memory or invalid data that might cause the printer to flush the job.

When a symbol appears next to a held job, you can:

• Print the job. Be aware, however, that only part of the job may print.

• Delete the job. You may want to free up additional printer memory by scrolling through the list of

held jobs and deleting others you have sent to the printer.

If formatting errors are a recurring problem with held jobs, your printer may require more memory.

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.

Reserve Print

If you send a Reserve Print job, the printer does not print the job immediately, b ut 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.

See Printing and deleting held jobs for information.

Verify Print

If you send a Verify Print job, the printer prints one copy and holds the remaining copies you requested from the driver in printer memory. Use Verify Print to examine the first copy to see if it is satisfactory before printing the remaining copies.

See Printing and deleting held jobs if you need help printing the additional copies stored in memory.

Note: Once all copies are printed, the Verify Print job is deleted from printer memory.

Confidential jobs

When you send a job to the printer, you can enter a personal identification number (PIN) from the driver. The PIN must be four digits using the numbers 1–6. The job is then held in printer memory until you enter the same four-digit PIN from the printer operator panel and choose to print or delete the job. This ensures that the job does not print until you are there to retrieve it, and no one else using the printer can print the job.

When you select Confidential Job from the Job Menu and then select your user name, the following prompt is displayed:

Enter PIN: =____

Use the buttons on the operator panel to enter the four-digit PIN associated with your confidential job. The numbers next to the button names identify which button to press for each digit (1–6). As you enter the PIN, asterisks are displayed on the operator panel to ensure confidentiality.

Enter PIN =****

If you enter an invalid PIN, the message No Jobs Found. Retry? appears. Press Go to reenter the PIN, or press Stop to exit the Confidential Job menu.

When you enter a valid PIN, you have access to all print jobs matching the user name and PIN you entered. The print jobs matching the PIN you entered appear on the display when you enter the Print A Job, Delete A Job, and Print Copies menu items. You can then choose to print or delete jobs matching the PIN you entered. (See Printing and deleting held jobs for more information.) After printing the job, the printer deletes the confidential job from memory.

Tips for successful printing

Storing paper

Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.

• Store paper in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the

relative humidity is 40%.

• Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf rather than directly on the floor.

• If you store individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat

surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.

• Do not place anything on top of paper packages.

Storing supplies

Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packaging until you are ready to use them.

Do not expose supplies to:

• Direct sunlight

• Temperatures above 35°C (95°F)

• High humidity (above 80%)

• Salty air

• Corrosive gases

• Heavy dust

Avoiding jams

You can avoid most paper jams by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer. See the following for loading instructions:

• Loading 500-sheet trays

• Loading the 2000-sheet tray

• Loading the multipurpose feeder

The following hints can help you avoid paper jams:

• Use only recommended paper. Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on our Lexmark

Web s ite at www.lexmark.com for more information about which paper provides optimum results for your printing environment.

• Do not remove paper trays while a job is printing. Wait for a Load Tray <x> or Ready message

before you remove the tray.

• If you need detailed information before purchasing large quantities of customized paper, refer to

the Card Stock & Label Guide.

• Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper.

• Never mix media types within a tray.

• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before you load it.

• Do not overload the trays or the multipurpose feeder. Make sure the stack height does not exceed

the maximum height indicated.

• Push all trays firmly into the printer after loading them.

• Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size paper you have loaded.

• Do not send jobs to staple, hole punch, or offset for transparencies, labels, or card stock.

• We recommend that transparencies, labels, card stock, and envelopes not be sent to the optional

mailbox or optional finisher. These specialty media types should be sent to the standard bin.

• If an optional finisher or mailbox is attached, make sure the printer and option are correctly

aligned. Refer to the Setup Guide for alignment instructions.

• Make sure all cables that connect the high capacity feeder or finisher to the printer are correctly

attached. Refer to the Setup Guide for more information.

• If a jam should occur, clear the entire paper path. See Clearing the entire paper path for more

information.

Understanding fonts

Resident fonts

Your printer is equipped with resident fonts stored permanently in printer memory. Different fonts are available in PCL 6 and PostScript 3 emulations. Some of the most popular typefaces, like Courier and Times New Roman, are available for all printer languages.

The fonts in the PCL emulation are compatible with the fonts in the HP4600 and include four additional fonts and many extra symbol sets to support extra languages and applications. The fonts in the PostScript emulation are compatible with Adobe PostScript 3 and include 20 additional fonts.

The fo ll owing tables li st al l t h e fonts reside nt in your printer. See Printing sample font s f or instructions on how to print samples of the fonts. You can select the resident fonts from your software application, or from the operator panel if you are using PCL 6 emulation.

Symbol sets

A symbol set is an encoded collection of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and special characters available in the font you select. Symbol sets support the requirements for different languages or specific application s, such as math sym bols used for scientific text.

The symbol set encoding also defines which character will print for each key on the keyboard (or more specifically, for each code point). Some applications require different characters at some code points. To support multiple applications and languages, your printer has 88 symbol sets for the resident PCL 6 emulation fonts.

Symbol sets for PCL 6 emulation

Not all fonts support all of the symbol sets listed in Resident symbol sets. Refer to the Technical Reference to determine which symbol sets are supported by each font name.
