Notes:

• Purchase a MarkNet

network. For information on installing the wireless network adapter, see the instruction sheet that came with the adapter.

• A Service Set Identiﬁer (SSID) is a name assigned to a wireless network. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP),

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and 802.1X-RADIUS are types of security used on a network.

Preparing to set up the printer on an Ethernet network

To conﬁgure your printer to connect to an Ethernet network, organize the following information before you begin:

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

• The network mask

• A nickname for the printer (optional)

N8350 wireless network adapter before setting up the printer on a wireless

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. For more

information, see the instruction sheet that came with the wireless network adapter.

• 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.

Page 50

Additional printer setup 50

• Security Method—There are four 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

• 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.

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, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

• Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. For information on how to load letterhead, see: – “Loading trays” on page 55 – “Loading the multipurpose feeder” on page 60

Tips on using transparencies

• Print a test page on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.

• Feed transparencies from the standard tray, or the multipurpose feeder.

• Use transparencies designed speciﬁcally for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand

temperatures up to 185°C (365°F) without melting, discoloring,

osetting,

or releasing hazardous emissions.

Note: If the transparency weight is set to Heavy and the transparency texture is set to Rough in the Paper menu, then transparencies can be printed at a temperature up to 195°C (383°F).

• Avoid getting ﬁngerprints on the transparencies to prevent print quality problems.

• Before loading transparencies, ﬂex, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

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 230°C (446°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or releasing hazardous emissions.

• For best performance, use envelopes made from 90‑g/m

envelopes must not exceed 75‑g/m

• 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

– 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: Use only paper label sheets. Vinyl, pharmacy, and two‑sided labels are not supported.

For more information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available at

http://support.lexmark.com.

When printing on labels:

• Use labels designed

speciﬁcally

– The labels can withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°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.

• Do not use labels with slick backing material.

• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel o during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial

sheets also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and toner cartridge warranties.

• Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.

• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die‑cuts of

the label.

• Make sure the adhesive backing does not reach to the edge of the sheet. Zone coating of the adhesive

should be at least 1 mm (0.04 inches) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty.

• If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, then remove a 2‑mm (0.06‑inches) strip on the leading and

driver edge, and use a non‑oozing adhesive.

• Portrait orientation is recommended, 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.

• From the Paper menu, set the Paper Type to Card Stock.

• Select the appropriate Paper Texture setting.

• Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing may signiﬁcantly aect 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 220°C

(446°F) without releasing hazardous emissions.

Page 71

Paper and specialty media guide 71

• 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.

Paper guidelines

Selecting the correct paper or specialty media reduces printing problems. For the best print quality, try a sample of the paper or specialty media before buying large quantities.

Paper characteristics

The following paper characteristics aect print quality and reliability. Consider these characteristics when evaluating new paper stock.

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 is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. Always use paper between 100 and 300 Sheeld points; smoothness between 150–250 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.

Condition paper before printing by storing it in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24–48 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.

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 or lesser than

+/‑2.5 mm (+/‑0.10 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

• 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

• Multiple‑part forms or documents

(16 lb)

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 to 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.

(16 to 24 lb) weight paper.

Page 73

Paper and specialty media guide 73

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.

oce

papers

• Low moisture content (4–5%)

• 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 Sheeld units) have been engineered to work very well in laser printers, despite surface texture. Before using these types of paper, consult your paper supplier.

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.

• 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.
