Note: If your network automatically assigns IP addresses to computers and printers, continue on to installing the printer.

• A valid, unique IP address for the printer to use on the network

• The network gateway

Additional printer setup 38

• The network mask

• A nickname for the printer (optional)

Note: A printer nickname can make it easier for you to identify your printer on the network. You can choose to use the default printer nickname, or assign a name that is easier for you to remember.

You will need an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network and an available port where the printer can physically connect to the network. Use a new network cable when possible to avoid potential problems caused by a damaged cable.

Preparing to set up the printer on a wireless network

Notes:

• Make sure your wireless network adapter is installed in your printer and working properly.

• Make sure your access point (wireless router) is turned on and is working properly.

Make sure you have the following information before setting up the printer on a wireless network:

• SSID—The SSID is also referred to as the network name.

• Wireless Mode (or Network Mode)—The mode is either infrastructure or ad hoc.

• Channel (for ad hoc networks)—The channel defaults to automatic for infrastructure networks.

Some ad hoc networks will also require the automatic setting. Check with your system support person if you are not sure which channel to select.

• Security Method—There are three basic options for Security Method: – WEP key

If your network uses more than one WEP key, then enter up to four in the provided spaces. Select the key currently in use on the network by selecting the default WEP transmit key.

– WPA or WPA2 preshared key or passphrase

WPA includes encryption as an additional layer of security. The choices are AES or TKIP. Encryption must be set for the same type on the router and on the printer, or the printer will not be able to communicate on the network.

– 802.1X–RADIUS

If you are installing the printer on an 802.1X network, then you may need the following:

• Authentication type

• Inner authentication type

• 802.1X user name and password

•

75‑g/m 90 g/m

(20‑lb) bond grain long paper. For paper smaller than 182 x 257 mm (7.2 x 10.1 inches), we recommend

(24 lb) or heavier paper.

(16 lb) might not be sti enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best performance, use

(47‑lb) bond grain long paper. Paper

Note: Duplex printing is supported from 60–105‑g/m

(16–28‑lb) bond grain long paper.

Curl

Curl is the tendency for paper to curl at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems. Curl can occur after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in hot, humid, cold, or dry conditions, even in the trays, can contribute to paper curling prior to printing and can cause feeding problems.

Smoothness

Paper smoothness directly aects print quality. If paper is too rough, then toner cannot fuse to it properly. If paper is too smooth, then it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. Always use paper between 100 and 300 Sheeld points; smoothness between 150 and 250 Sheeld points produces the best print quality.

Moisture content

The amount of moisture in paper aects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper correctly. Leave paper in its original wrapper until it is time to use it. This limits the exposure of paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.

Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before printing. Extend the time to several days if the storage or transportation environment is very dierent from the printer environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.

Grain direction

Grain refers to the alignment of the paper ﬁbers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long, running the length of the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.

For 60–90‑g/m

(16–24‑lb) bond paper, grain long paper is recommended.

Fiber content

Most high‑quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically treated pulped wood. This content provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper containing ﬁbers such as cotton can negatively aect 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,

carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper

• Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer

• Preprinted papers that can be aected by the temperature in the printer fuser

Paper and specialty media guide 58

• Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±2.3 mm

(±0.9 in.), such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms In some cases, registration can be adjusted with a software application to successfully print on these forms.

• Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers

• Rough‑edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers, or curled papers

• Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European)

• Paper weighing less than 60 g/m

(16 lb)

• Multiple‑part forms or documents

Selecting paper

Using the appropriate paper prevents jams and helps ensure trouble‑free printing.

To help avoid paper jams and poor print quality:

• Always use new, undamaged paper.

• Before loading paper, know the recommended printable side of the paper. This information is usually

indicated on the paper package.

• Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.

• Do not mix paper sizes, types, or weights in the same tray; mixing results in jams.

• Do not use coated papers unless they are speciﬁcally designed for electrophotographic printing.

Selecting preprinted forms and letterhead

Use these guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead:

• Use grain long for 60–90 g/m

• Use only forms and letterhead printed using an oset lithographic or engraved printing process.

• Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

Use papers printed with heat‑resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must be able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not aected by the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidation‑set or oil‑based generally meet these requirements; latex inks might not. When in doubt, contact the paper supplier.

Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.

Using recycled paper and other

As an environmentally conscious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled oce paper produced speciﬁcally for use in laser (electrophotographic) printers. In 1998, Lexmark presented to the US government a study demonstrating that recycled paper produced by major mills in the US fed as well as non-recycled paper. However, no blanket statement can be made that all recycled paper will feed well.

Lexmark consistently tests its printers with recycled paper (20–100% post-consumer waste) and a variety of test paper from around the world, using chamber tests for dierent temperature and humidity conditions. Lexmark has found no reason to discourage the use of today's recycled oce papers, but generally the following property guidelines apply to recycled paper.

• Low moisture content (4–5%)

(16–24 lb) paper.

papers

Paper and specialty media guide 59

• Suitable smoothness (100–200 Sheeld units, or 140–350 Bendtsen units, European)

Note: Some much smoother papers (such as premium 24 lb laser papers, 50–90 Sheeld units) and much rougher papers (such as premium cotton papers, 200–300 to work very well in laser printers, despite surface texture. Before using these types of paper, consult your paper supplier.

• Suitable sheet-to-sheet coecient of friction (0.4–0.6)

• Sucient bending resistance in the direction of feed

Recycled paper, paper of lower weight (<60 g/m paper that is cut grain-short for portrait (or short-edge) fed printers may have lower bending resistance than is required for reliable paper feeding. Before using these types of paper for laser (electrophotographic) printing, consult your paper supplier. Remember that these are general guidelines only and that paper meeting these guidelines may still cause paper feeding problems in any laser printer (for example, if the paper curls excessively under normal printing conditions).

[16 lb bond]) and/or lower caliper (<3.8 mils [0.1 mm]), and

Storing paper

Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:

• For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40 percent.

Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with relative humidity between 40 and 60 percent.

• Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the

• Store individual packages on a

• Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.

• Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton and

wrapper help keep the paper clean, dry, and ﬂat.
