There are two types of media — scan media and print media. Scan media is what is placed in the automatic document feeder (ADF) or on the scanner flatbed. Some types of scan media cannot be run through the ADF, so it has to be placed on the scanner flatbed.

Print media, which is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envel opes, is loaded into print media sources which are the trays and the multipurpose feeder. Card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes are sometimes referred to as specialty media.

Store your print media properly. For more information, see Storing print media in Media

specifications and guidelines.

Scanning information

Avoiding jams when scanning

Place scan media in the appropriate place — either the automatic document feeder (ADF) or the scanner flatbed. If y ou are unsure if your document will cause a jam in the ADF, we recommend that you scan it using the scanner flat bed.

The ADF only accommodates paper in the fol lowing sizes: A4, A5, JIS B5, folio, letter, legal, executive, statement. The ADF can handle paper weights up to 60–120 g/m

You may place up to 50 sheets of 20 lb paper in the ADF. Some tips for scan media to a void jams in the ADF are:

• Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled scan media.

• Do not overload the ADF. The ADF can accommodate 50 sheets of 20 lb paper.

• Do not force a stack of scan media under the stack height limiter.

(16–32 lb).

Printing, copying, faxing, and scanning

The followi ng cannot be fed by the ADF:

• Paper with clip or staple attached

• Paper with ink not totally dry

• Paper with inconsistent thickness, such as envelopes

• Paper with wrinkles, curls, folds, or tears

• Paper that is too large or too small (use the scanner flatbed instead)

• Paper with an odd (non-rectangular) shape

• Paper with perforations on its side

• Tracing paper, coated paper, carbonless paper

• Items other than papers, such as cloth, metal, or overhead projector (OHP) film

• Notched paper

• Photographic paper

• Very thin paper

Printing information

Avoiding jams when printing

If you select appropriate print media (paper, transparencies, label s, and card stock) fo r your MFP, you’re helping to have trouble-free printing. See Print media gui delines for more information.

Note: We recommend that you try a limited sample of any print media you are considering

using with the MFP before purchasing large quantities.

By carefully selecting print medi a and loading it properly, you should be able t o a vo id most jams . See the follo w ing for instructions on loading and using print media:

• Loading the standard tray or the optional 250-sheet tray

• Loading the optional 500-sheet tray

• Using and loading the multipurpose feeder

If you do experience a jam, see Clearing jams for instructions.

Printing information

Printing, copying, faxing, and scanning

The followi ng hints can help you avoid jams :

• Use only recommended print media. See Print media guidelines for more information. Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide availa ble on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications for more information about which print media provides optimum results for your printing environment.

• If you need detaile d inf ormation bef ore purchasi ng large quantit ies of customiz ed print media, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide.

• Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.

• Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If jams do occur with print media, try

feeding one sheet at a time through the multipurpose feeder.

• Do not overload the print media sources. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the maximum height indicated by the labels in the sources.

• Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed.

• Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.

• Make sure the recommended print side is face down when loading all trays, and the

recommended print side is face up when loading the multipurpose feeder.

• Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. See Storing print me dia for more information.

• Do not remove trays during a print job.

• Push all trays in firmly after loading them.

• Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size print media you have

loaded. Make sure the guides are not placed too tig htly against the stack of print media.

• Card stock must fed from the multipurpose feeder and exit to the rear output bin. See Using

the rear output bin for more information.

• Envelopes may be sent to the standard output bin; however, if the envelopes exit to the rear output bin there is less curl.

• Make sure all cables that connect to the MFP are correctly attached, so they do not interfere with the rear output bin. Refer to the Setup Guide for more information.

Print Held Jobs—using the Print and Hold function

Print Held Jobs accesses the Print and Hold function. When sending a job to the MFP, you can specify in the driver that you want the MFP to hold the job in memory. When you are ready to print the job, you must go to the MFP and use the control panel menus t o identi f y which held j ob y ou w ant to print. (See Using the MFP control pa nel and menus for information on using the control panel.)

Note: All held jobs (Reserve Print, Repeat Print, Verify Print, and Confidential) may be

deleted if the MFP requires extra memory to process additional held jobs. Confidential jobs and Verify Print jobs are deleted from MFP memory once all copies are printed.

Selecting a user name

All confidential and held jobs have a user name associated with them. If you are on a network, the user name is the same as your computer name on the network. If you are locally attached to the MFP, you must create a user name in the print driver dialog when you send the job.

To access all held jobs or confidential jobs, you must first select your user name fr om a list of user names for print jobs . When the li st is presented, use the up and do wn arrows to scroll thr ough the list. Press ✓ once you find your user name for your job.

Selecting the type of Held Job

There are four types of jobs you can hold:

• Confidential Print Jobs—print a confidential job when you can be at the MFP to retrieve it

• Reserve Print Jobs—dela y printing a job

• Repeat Print Jobs—request extr a copies of a job at a later time

• Verify Print Jobs—verify one copy before printing additional copies

Confidential jobs

When you send a job to the MFP, you can enter a personal identification number (PIN) from the driver. The PIN must be four digit s using t he n umbers 1–6. The job is t hen held i n MFP memory until you enter the same four-digit PIN from the control panel and choose to print or delete the job. This ensures that the job does not print until you ret rieve it, and no one else using the MFP can print the job.

Storing print media

Use the follo wing guidelines f or proper print media storag e. These help av oid paper f eeding proble ms and uneven print quality:

• For best results, store print media in an environment where the temper atur e is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%.

• Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.

• If you store individual packages of print media 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 the print media packages.

Print media guidelines

Selecting the appropriate print media (paper, transparencies, envelopes, paper labels, and car d stock) for your MFP helps you avoid printing problems.

The following sections contain guidelines for choosing the correct print media. For detailed information about print media characteristics, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide

available on the Lexmark Web site at www. lexmark.com/publications.

Print media specifications and guidelines

Media specifications and guidelines

Paper

For the best print quality, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, grain long paper. Try a sample of any paper you are considering using with the MFP before buying large quantities.

When loading paper , note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load paper accordingly. See the following topics for detailed loading instructions:

• Loading the standard tray or the optional 250-sheet tray

• Loading the optional 500-sheet tray

• Paper with a rough or heavily textured surface

• Coated papers, such as erasable bond

• Preprinted papers manufact ured with chemicals that may contaminate the MFP

• Multiple-part forms

• Synthetic papers

• Thermal papers

• Recycled paper having a weight less than 75 g/m

(20 lb)

Letterhead

Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) without melting or releasing hazar dous emissions . Use inks that are no t aff ected b y th e resin in ton er or the silicone in the fuser. Inks that are oxidati on-set or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks migh t not.

Printing on letterhead

Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the preprinted letterhead you have chosen is acceptable for laser MFPs.

Do not load transparencies in the optional 250-sheet or 500-sheet drawer. To load transparencies in the multipurpose feeder, see page 78 of Using and loading the multipurpose feeder.

When printing on transparencies:

• Be sure to set the Paper Type to Transparency from the print driver, MarkVision ™ Professional, the control panel, or the Web pages to avoid damaging your MFP.

• Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers . Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 175°C (347°F) wit hout melting, discoloring, or r eleasing hazardous emissions.

• To prevent print quality problems, av oid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.

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

Envelopes

You can load up to 10 envelopes in the mu ltipurpose feeder. Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering using with the MFP before buying large quantities. See page 79 of Using and loading

the multipurpose feeder for loading an envelope instructions.

Print media specifications and guidelines

Media specifications and guidelines

When printing on envelopes:

• Set the Paper Size to MP Feeder Size sub-menu from the control panel, MarkVision Professional, or the Web page. Set the Paper Type to Envelope in the MP Feeder Type sub- menu from the control panel, MarkVision Professional, or the Web pages. Select the size and type from the print driver.

• Use envelopes made from 75 to 105 g/m fewer print media jams, do not use envelopes that:

– Have excessive curl. – Are stuck together. – Are damaged in any way. – Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts or embossing. – Use metal clasps, string t ies, or metal folding bars. – Have postage stamps attached. – Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position.

• Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive

curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.

• Adjust the right paper guide to fit the width of the envelopes.

• Load envelopes with the flap side down, and position the short edge nearest the return

address to enter the MFP first. See page 79 of Using and loading the multipurpose feeder for loading an envelope instructions.

• If you are feeding self-sealing envelopes, open the rear output bin door so envelopes feed straight out the back of the MFP. The rear output bin holds about 10 envelopes.

Labels

Your MFP can print on many labels designed for use with laser MFPs. These labels are supplied in letter size and A4 size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).

Try a sample of any labels you are cons idering using with the MFP before purchasing a large quantity.

For detailed information on label printing, characteristics a nd design, r efer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.

When printing on labels:

• Set the Paper Type to Labels from the print driver, MarkVision Professional, the control

panel, or the Web pages.

• Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper source.

• Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.

• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting i n a

jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your MFP and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your MFP and cartridge warranties.

• Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.

Print media specifications and guidelines

Media specifications and guidelines

• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of th e edge of the label , of the per f or ations , or bet ween die cuts of the label.

• Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. W e recommend zone coating of the adhesiv e a t least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your MFP and could void your warranty.

• If zone coating of the adhesiv e is not possib le , a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip should be remov ed on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.

• Remove a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the MFP.

• Portrait orientation is preferred, especiall y when printi ng ba r codes.

• Do not use labels that hav e exposed adhesive.

MFP maintenance when printing on labels

After continuously printing approximately 10,000 pages of labels (or each time you replace the print cartridge), complete the following step s to maint ain MFP feeding reliability:

1 Print 5 sheets of paper. 2 Wait approximately 5 seconds. 3 Print 5 more sheets of paper.

Card stock

Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the orientation of paper fibers and texture, that can significantly affect the print quality.

You may only print card stock from the multipurpose feeder. Card stock must always exit to the rear output bin.

Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the MFP before purchasing a large quantity.

See Specifications for pri nt media for information on the preferred weight of print media. When printing on card stock:

• Set the Paper T ype to Card Stoc k fr om the print driver,

panel, or the Web pages.

• Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contami nate the MFP. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components in the MFP.

• Do not use card stock that is perforated or creased. It may caus e print media jams.

MFP maintenanc e when printing on card stock

After printing approxi m ately 10,000 pages of card stock (or each time you replace the print cartridge), complete the following step s to maint ain MFP feeding reliability:

1 Print 5 sheets of paper. 2 Wait approximately 5 seconds. 3 Print 5 more sheets of paper.

For detailed information on card stock printing, characteristics, and design, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.

Using the duplex feature for printing

Duplex printing (or tw o-sided printing) lets you print on both sides of a sheet of paper. For paper sizes that are acceptable for duple x printing, see Duplex unit specifications.

Note: Print duplex jobs only on paper weighing 16–24 lb.

Select Duplex from your print driver to print individual duplex jobs.

Warning: As the MFP processes a duplex print job, it partially ejects a sheet to the standard

output bin, and then pulls the sheet back inside. Do not touch the sheet while it is partially ejected. Doing so could damage the MFP or cause a jam. Remo v e pages only after they have fully exit ed the MFP to a bin.

For more information on bins, see Using the out put bins.

Duplex printing on letterhead

When duplex printing on letterhead fr om the multipurpose f eeder, load it with the logo face do wn and entering the MFP last.

When duplex printing on lette rhead fro m the tr ays, load it with the logo face up and facing toward the rear of the MFP.

Using Duplex Bind

When you select duplex bind printing in the print driver or Duplex Bind in the Finishing Menu, you must select either long edge or short edge binding. The purpose of Duplex Bind is to define the way duplexed pages are bound, and how the printing on the back of the sheet (even-numbered pages) is oriented in relation to the printing on the front (odd-numbered pages).

Using and loading the multipurpose feeder

Your MFP has a multipurpose feeder that holds several sizes and types of print media. It is located on the front of your MFP and can be closed when you are not using it. Reserve the multipurpose feeder for when you print on different sizes and types of print media, such as card stock, transparencies, postcards, note cards, and envelopes. You can load a stack of print media, or you can load single sheets you do not keep in a tray.

If the MFP displays Load MP Feeder, you should load the multipurpose feeder. Load the print media, and then press ✓. If you load a single sheet, the message is displa y ed agai n to prompt y ou to load the next sheet. See Loading the multipurpose feeder for more information.

See page 51 of Media specifications and guidelines for a listing of supported types and sizes.

Note: When printing from the multipurpose feeder , be sure to set the Paper Size and

Paper Type.

Follow these guidelines when using the multipurpose feeder:

• Load only one size and type of print media at a time.

• To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality print media that is designed

for use in laser printers. See Print media guidelines for information on selecting types of print media.

• To prevent jams, do not add print media to the multipurpose feeder when it already contains print media.

• Do not close the multipurpose feeder while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a jam.

• Load print media with the top edge going into the multipurpose feeder first.

• Do not place objects on the multipurpose feeder. Also, avoid ap plying excessive force to it.
