Certificates
No security
If your wireless network does not use any type of security, then you will not have any security information.
Note: We do not recommend using an unsecured wireless network.
Notes:
If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, then launch the wireless
utility of the computer network adapter, and then look for the network name. If you cannot find the SSID or the security information for your network, then see the documentation that came with the access point, or contact your system support person.
To find the WPA/WPA2 preshared key or passphrase for the wireless network, see the documentation
that came with the access point, see the Embedded Web Server associated with the access point, or consult your system support person.

Verifying printer setup

When all hardware and software options are installed and the printer is turned on, verify that the printer is set up correctly by printing the following:
Menu settings page—Use this page to verify that all printer options are installed correctly. If an option you
installed is not listed, then it is not installed correctly. Remove the option, and then install it again.
Network setup page—If your printer has networking support, then use this page to verify that the network
connection is working. This page also provides important information that aids network printing configuration.

Printing a menu settings page

Print a menu settings page to view the current menu settings and to verify if the printer options are installed correctly.
From the printer control panel, navigate to:
> Settings > Reports > > Menu Settings Page >
Note: If you have not changed any menu settings, then the menu settings page lists all the factory default settings. Settings saved from the menus replace the factory default settings as user default settings. A user default setting remains in eect until you access the menu again, select another value, and save it.

Printing a network setup page

If the printer is attached to a network, then print a network setup page to verify the network connection. This page also provides important information that aids network printing configuration.
1 From the printer control panel, navigate to:
> Settings > Reports > > Network Setup Page >
Note: If an optional internal print server is installed, then Print Network [x] Setup Page appears.

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.

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
Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±2.4 mm
(±0.9 inch), 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

Selecting paper

Using the appropriate paper prevents jams and helps ensure troublefree 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.
Paper and specialty media guide 46
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 60–90g/m
Use only forms and letterhead printed using an oset lithographic or engraved printing process.
Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
Use inks that are not aected by the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidationset or oilbased generally meet these requirements; latex inks might not.
When in doubt, contact your paper supplier.

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.

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 floor.
Paper and specialty media guide 47
Store individual packages on a flat surface.
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.
