and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
•Consult your point of purchase or service representative for additional suggestions.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by using other
than recommended cables or by unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment.
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
Note: To assure compliance with FCC regulations on electromagnetic interference for a
Class B computing device, use a properly shielded and grounded cable such as
Lexmark part number 1329605 for parallel attach or 12A2405 for USB attach. Use
of a substitute cable not properly shielded and grounded may result in a violation
of FCC regulations.

3Print media handling
Print media is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. Your printer provides high
quality printing on a variety of print media. You must consider a number of things concerning print
media before you print. This chapter provides information to help you make print media selections,
how to care for the print media, and how to load it in a standard tray, optional tray, standard drawer, or
optional drawer.
Print media guidelines
Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps you avoid printing problems.
The following sections contain guidelines for choosing the correct print media for your printer.
For detailed information about print media characteristics, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide
available on Lexmark’s Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.
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 printer before buying large quantities.
When loading paper, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load paper
accordingly. See Loading print media in standard and optional trays and Using and loading the
multipurpose feeder for detailed loading instructions.
Paper characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. We recommend that you follow
these guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.
For detailed information, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide located on the Lexmark Web site at
www.lexmark.com.
Weight
The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 135 g/m2 (16 to 36 lb bond) grain long.
Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best
performance, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) grain long paper. To use paper narrower than 182 x 257 mm
(7.2 x 10.1 in.), we recommend that the weight be greater than or equal to 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond).
30
Print media guidelines
Curl
Curl is the tendency of print media to curve at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding
problems. Curl usually occurs after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high
temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in humid conditions, even in the paper tray, can contribute to
paper curling prior to printing and can cause feeding problems, also.
Smoothness
The degree of smoothness of paper directly affects print quality. If the paper is too rough, the toner
does not fuse to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality. If the paper is too smooth, it can
cause paper feeding problems. Smoothness needs to be between 100 and 300 Sheffield points;
however, smoothness between 150 and 250 Sheffield points produces the best print quality.
Moisture content
The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the
paper properly. Leave the paper in its original wrapper until you are ready to use it. This limits the
exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.
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 to 135 g/m2 (16 to 36 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended. For papers heavier
than 135 g/m2 (36 lb bond), grain short is preferred. For the multipurpose feeder, 60 to 135 g/m2 (16
to 36 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended. For the multipurpose feeder, papers
heavier than 135 g/m2 (36 lb bond), grain short is preferred.
Fiber content
Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically 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 possess characteristics that can result in
degraded paper handling.
Recommended paper
To ensure the best print quality and feed reliability, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic paper. Business
papers designed for general business use may also provide acceptable print quality.
Always print several samples before buying large quantities of any type of print media. When
choosing any print media, consider the weight, fiber content, and color.
The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of 225°C (437°F) for Magnetic Ink
Character Recognition (MICR) applications, and 205°C (401°F) for non-MICR applications. Use only
paper able to withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous
emissions. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen
is acceptable for laser printers.
31
Print media guidelines
Unacceptable paper
The following papers 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 affected by the temperature in the printer fuser
•Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater
than ±0.09 in., such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms
In some cases, you can adjust registration with your 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 containing more than 25% post-consumer waste that do not meet
DIN 19 309
•Recycled paper having a weight less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb)
•Multiple-part forms or documents
Selecting paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent jams and ensure trouble-free printing.
To help avoid jams or poor print quality:
•Always use new, undamaged paper.
•Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper you are using. This
information is usually indicated on the paper package.
•Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself.
•Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source; mixing results in jams.
•Do not use coated papers.
•Do not forget to change the Paper Size setting when you use a source that does not support
auto size sensing.
•Do not remove trays while a job is printing or Busy is displayed on the operator panel.
•Make sure the Paper Type, Paper Texture, and Paper Weight settings are correct. (See Paper
Menu for detailed information about these settings.)
•Make sure the paper is properly loaded in the source.
32
Print media guidelines
•Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level
surface.
Selecting preprinted forms and letterhead
Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer:
•Use grain long papers for best results.
•Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing
process.
•Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
•Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must
withstand temperatures of 225°C (437°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use
inks that are not affected by the resin in toner or the silicone in the fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or
oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your
paper supplier.
Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 225°C (437°F)
without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.
33
Print media guidelines
Printing on letterhead
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the preprinted letterhead you have
chosen is acceptable for laser printers.
Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. Use the following table for help when
loading letterhead in the print media sources.
Selecting prepunched paper
Prepunched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in manufacturing
techniques.
Use the following guidelines to select and use prepunched paper:
•Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-
punched paper.
•Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already
packaged in a ream. Drilled paper can cause jams when multiple sheets feed through the
printer.
•Prepunched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your printer may
require more frequent cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as that of standard
paper.
•Weight guidelines for prepunched paper are the same as for nonpunched paper.

Transparencies
You can feed transparencies from the standard tray (250-sheet tray for the T630 or 500-sheet tray for
the T632), optional 250- or 500-sheet trays, or the multipurpose feeder. Try a sample of any
transparencies you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities.
When printing on transparencies:
•Be sure to set the Paper Type to Transparency from the printer driver, in the Local Printer
Setup Utility, or from MarkVision™ to avoid damaging your printer.
•Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to
withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing
hazardous emissions.
•To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
•Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
Selecting transparencies
The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and
durability depend on the transparency used. Always print samples on the transparencies you are
considering before buying large quantities.
The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. (See Paper Type for
detailed information about this setting.) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether
your transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 205°C (401°F).
Use only transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring,
offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. For detailed information, refer to the Card Stock &
Label Guide, which is available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Transparencies can be fed automatically from the multipurpose feeder and all standard and optional
trays, except the 2000-sheet drawer, for all printer models. See Identifying print media sources
and specifications for information about transparency compatibility with optional output bins.
Be careful when you handle transparencies. Fingerprints on the surface of the transparency cause
poor print quality.
35
Print media guidelines
Envelopes
You can load up to 10 envelopes in the multipurpose feeder and 85 envelopes in the envelope feeder.
Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering using with the printer before buying large
quantities. See Using and loading the multipurpose feeder and Using and loading the optional
envelope feeder for instructions on loading an envelope.
When printing on envelopes:
•To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed
for use in laser printers.
•Set the Paper Source in the Paper Menu to MP Feeder, Manual Env, or Env Feeder
depending on the source you are using, set the paper type to Envelope, and select the
correct envelope size from the operator panel, the printer driver, in the Local Printer Setup
Utility, or from MarkVision.
•For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up
to 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond) weight for the multipurpose feeder or 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond) weight
for the envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. Envelopes with 100%
cotton content must not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) weight.
•Use only new, undamaged envelopes.
•For best performance and to minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:
–Have excessive curl or twist.
–Are stuck together or damaged in any way.
–Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts or embossing.
–Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.
–Have an interlocking design
–Have postage stamps attached
–Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
–Have nicked edges or bent corners
–Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes
•Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the
envelopes you are considering using, check with the envelope supplier.
•Adjust the width 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 printer first for the multipurpose feeder. See Using and loading the
multipurpose feeder for instructions on loading an envelope. Also, see Using and loading
the optional envelope feeder for loading envelopes in this option.
•Load only one size of envelope at a time in the envelope feeder.
•A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the
envelopes.
36
Print media guidelines
Labels
Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are supplied
in letter size, A4 size, and legal 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 considering using with the printer before purchasing a large
quantity.
For detailed information on label printing, characteristics and design, refer 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 menu item to Labels in the Paper Menu. Set the Paper Type from the
printer operator panel, the printer driver, in the Local Printer Setup Utility, or from MarkVision.
•You may feed vinyl labels from the standard 250- or 500-sheet trays, or the optional 250- or
500-sheet drawers. For vinyl labels, you must set the Paper Type to Labels, Labels Texture to
Smooth, and Label Weight to Heavy.
•Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same source; mixing print
media can cause feeding problems.
•Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
•Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the die cut.
•Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a
jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could
void your printer and cartridge warranties.
•Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
•Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-
cuts of the label.
•Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone
coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material
contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.
•If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip should be removed 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 printer.
•Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
•Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
Note: Labels are one of the most difficult print media for laser printers. All models of the
printer require a special fuser cleaner for label applications to optimize feed
37
Storing print media
reliability. See Ordering supplies for information on obtaining a label fuser
cleaner.
For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, refer to the Card Stock & Label
Guide, available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Card stock
Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content, thickness,
and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. See Identifying print media sources and
specifications for information on the preferred weight for the grain direction of print media.
Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large
quantity.
See Print media types and weights for information on the preferred weight of print media.
When printing on card stock:
•Set the Paper Type menu item in the Paper Menu to Card Stock from the operator panel, from
the printer driver, in the Local Printer Setup Utility, or from MarkVision.
•Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality
and cause print media handling or jamming problems.
•Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.
•Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the
printer. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer.
•We recommend the use of grain short card stock.
Storing print media
Use the following guidelines for proper print media storage. These help avoid print media feeding
problems and uneven print quality:
•For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature 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.

Loading print media
Loading print media
This section provides information about loading the various input sources and options. Proper print
media loading helps prevent jams and ensure trouble-free printing.
Before loading print media, know the recommended print side of the print media you are using. This
information is usually on the print media package.
Click the following topics for information on loading a particular item or option:
•Loading print media in standard and optional trays
•Loading print media in optional universally adjustable trays
•Loading the multipurpose feeder
•Using and loading the optional envelope feeder
•Using and loading the optional 2000-sheet drawer
Loading print media in standard and optional trays
Your printer has two standard sources, the 250-sheet tray for the T630 or a 500-sheet tray for the
T632, and the multipurpose feeder. Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in
the standard tray. Proper print media loading helps prevent jams and helps make your printing
trouble-free.
Do not remove trays while a job prints or while the Ready/Data light blinks on the operator panel.
Doing so may cause a jam.
49
Loading print media in standard and optional trays
Complete these instructions to load print media into any of the standard or optional trays.
1Pull the tray out. Remove the tray completely.
2Squeeze the width guide tab and the side of the guide as shown. Slide the width guide to the
far right side of the tray.
50
Loading print media in standard and optional trays
3Squeeze the length guide lever and slide the length guide to the correct position for the size
of print media you are loading. Notice the size indicators on the left side of the tray.
4Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, then fan them. Do not fold or crease the print
media. Straighten the edges on a level surface.

the printer.
8Insert the tray.
Loading print media in optional universally adjustable
trays
There are two optional universally adjustable trays:
•250-sheet universally adjustable tray (UAT)
•400-sheet UAT
You may use the 250-sheet UAT in place of the standard tray for the T630 or it may be inserted into
an optional 250-sheet drawer. You may use the 400-sheet UAT in place of the standard tray for the
T632 or it may be inserted into an optional 500-sheet drawer.
To know the sizes and weights of print media that each UAT supports, see Print media sizes and
support.
To load each UAT, refer to the instruction sheets that come with each option.
53

Using and loading the multipurpose feeder
Using and loading the multipurpose feeder
The multipurpose feeder can hold several sizes and types of print media, such as transparencies,
postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored
paper.
Keep in mind the following capacities, dimensions, and operating tips when loading the multipurpose
feeder.
Capacity
The maximum stack height is 10 mm (0.4 in.). The multipurpose feeder can hold approximately:
•100 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper
•10 envelopes
•75 transparencies
Print media dimensions
The multipurpose feeder accepts print media within the following dimensions:
•Width—69.85 mm (2.75 in.) to 229 mm (9.01 in.)
•Length—127 mm (5 in.) to 355.6 mm (14 in.)
Trouble-free printing
•Load only one size and type of print media at a time in the multipurpose feeder.
•To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality print media that is designed
for use in laser printers. For more guidelines on print media, see Print media guidelines.
•To prevent jams, do not add or remove print media when there is still print media in the
multipurpose feeder or when the printer is printing from the multipurpose feeder.
•Print media should be loaded with the recommended print side up and the top of the print
media going into the multipurpose feeder first.
•Do not place objects on the multipurpose feeder. Also, avoid pressing down or applying
excessive force on it.
•Do not remove any tray while a job is printing from the multipurpose feeder or Busy is
displayed on the operator panel. Doing so may cause a jam.
Note: The multipurpose feeder may be used with the optional envelope feeder installed.
56
Using and loading the multipurpose feeder
The icons on the multipurpose feeder show you how to load the multipurpose feeder with paper, how
to turn an envelope for printing, and how to load letterhead paper for simplex and duplex printing. A
finisher affects how letterhead documents should be loaded for duplexing. See Loading letterhead
for detailed instructions on loading documents printed on letterhead.
Note: The Paper Loading menu item in the Paper Menu lets you print simplex jobs on
letterhead (or other preprinted media) that has been loaded specifically for duplex
printing. For more information, see Paper Loading.

Using and loading the optional envelope feeder
5Load the stack of envelopes flap side down with the stamp area and the flap on the left. The
end of the envelopes with the stamp area enters the envelope feeder first. Let the envelopes
at the bottom of the stack slide into the envelope feeder slightly more than the ones at the top
of the stack.
Warning: Never use envelopes with stamps, clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or self-
stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer. See
Envelopes for more information.
Note: Do not try to load more envelopes by forcing them under the envelope weight. This
results in jams.
6Slide the width guide to the left until it lightly touches the stack. Make sure the envelopes do
not buckle.

Note: Software settings may override operator panel settings.
If envelopes jam, see Clearing jams.
Using and loading the optional 2000-sheet drawer
The optional 2000-sheet drawer accepts paper, labels, and transparencies.
Proper loading can prevent jams and help to ensure trouble-free printing.
To avoid jams:
•Do not load print media above the load line. See page 73 to locate the load line.
•Do not fold or crease the paper.
•Align print media to the back of the drawer.
•Do not mix sizes or weights in the same source.
72
Using and loading the optional 2000-sheet drawer
•Do not open the loading door or remove any print media while a job is printing or Busy is
displayed on the operator panel.
Note: When loading more than one ream of paper, we recommend you remove the top
and bottom sheet.
Before loading print media in the drawer, you should know the recommended print side of the paper
you are using. This information is usually on the paper package. To load the print media, follow these
steps:
1If you are loading paper for the first time, go to step 2 now. If not, note the print media size
previously loaded. If you are unsure of the print media size, go to the printer operator panel
and follow these steps:
aMake sure the printer power is on and the Ready message appears on the display.
bSelect Menus.
cSelect Paper Menu.
dSelect Paper Size.
eSelect Tray x Size (where x represents the tray number of the 2000-sheet drawer).

Using and loading the optional 2000-sheet drawer
3Flex each stack of print media back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the
edges on a level surface. To prepare transparencies for loading, see page 59.
4Slightly bend the stack of print media as shown and place it on the elevator tray with the
preferred print side facing down. Align the stack of print media to the back of the drawer.
Carefully align each stack as you load it to ensure a smooth edge where the stacks meet. Do
not load print media above the load line.
This illustration shows the correct orientation for loading paper for simplex printing.
Letterhead paper should be loaded with the printed side face down and the page top to the
front of the drawer. Do not mix weights of paper.
For duplex printing on letterhead paper, place the printed side face up with the page top to the
rear of the drawer.
5Close the loading door.
Note: If you need to return your 2000-sheet drawer, make sure all paper has been
removed from the unit before packing.
74
Using and loading the optional 2000-sheet drawer
Changing the print media size for the 2000-sheet drawer
Your 2000-sheet drawer comes pre-configured for either letter or A4 size.
To change the print media size prior to installation, proceed to step 7 of the following instructions
now. If you are changing the print media size for a unit that is already attached to a printer and a
power source, proceed with step 1:
1Open the loading door.
2Push the elevator button located on the left side of the door opening. See the illustration on
page 72.
3Remove paper from the elevator tray and close the loading door.
4Re-open the door. The printer elevator tray should be approximately halfway up.
5Unplug the power cord.
6Remove the printer and all attached options from the 2000-sheet drawer.
CAUTION: Remove the attached options one at a time. Make sure your fingers are not under
the printer when you set it down. Use the handholds on the printer or ask someone
to help you lift it.
7Locate the size selector knob on top of the drawer. See page 75 for an illustration and
location of the knob.
Note: Six paper selections are available. Each paper selection is color-coded. A new print
media size is displayed on the operator panel after the paper elevator tray is in the
up position.
8To make a selection, turn the knob completely in a counterclockwise direction. This action
sets the print media size to legal (LGL).
75
Using and loading the optional 2000-sheet drawer
9Count the clicks as you turn the knob clockwise to find the correct print media size. For
example, one click sets the print media size to executive (EXEC).
Note: Make a note of the color associated with the print media size you select.
10 Pull each locking pin up to unlock it, and then pull up on the guides to remove them.
11 Reposition the guides in the color-coded slots, located at the top of the unit, corresponding to
the print media size you selected.

Linking trays
12 Insert the guides into the matching colored slots located on the inside bottom of the unit. The
guides should now be seated flush against the top of the unit.
13 Push each pin down to lock the guides in place.
Linking trays
Tray linking enables the automatic linking feature for trays when you load the same size and type of
print media in multiple sources. The printer automatically links the trays; when one tray is empty, print
media feeds from the next linked tray.
For example, if you have the same size and type of print media loaded in tray 2 and tray 4, the printer
selects print media from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then the printer automatically feeds print
media from the next linked tray — tray 4.
By linking all five trays, you effectively create a single source with a capacity of 4,000 sheets.
If you load the same size print media in each tray, make sure the print media is all the same type in
order to link the trays.
Once the trays you selected are loaded with the same size and type of print media, select the same
Paper Type setting in the Paper Menu for these sources.
To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type to a unique value in each one of the trays. If all the trays do
not have the same type of print media when they are linked, you could mistakenly print a job on the
wrong paper type.
Using the duplex function
Duplex printing (or two-sided printing) lets you print on both sides of a sheet of paper. For sizes that
are acceptable for duplex printing, see Print media sizes and support.
Select Duplex from your printer driver to print individual duplex jobs, or from the Local Printer Setup
Utility to duplex all print jobs. See Using the Local Printer Setup Utility for more information.
For more information on bins, see Using the output bins.
Duplex printing on letterhead
When duplex printing on letterhead from the multipurpose feeder, load it with the logo face down and
entering the printer last.
When duplex printing on letterhead from the trays, load it with the logo face up and entering the
printer first.
77
Using the duplex function
Using Duplex Bind
When you select duplex bind printing in the printer driver or Duplex Bind in the Finishing Settings in
the Local Printer Setup Utility, you must select either long edge or short edge binding, which are the
values for this setting. 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).
The two values for Duplex Bind are:

6 Clearing jams
By carefully selecting print media and loading it properly, you are able to avoid most jams. If jams do
occur, complete the steps in the following sections. If jams occur frequently, see Avoiding jams.
Avoiding jams
Use appropriate print media (paper, transparencies, labels, and card stock) to help ensure trouble-
free printing. See Print media guidelines for more information.
Note: We recommend that you try a limited sample of any print media you are considering
using with the printer before purchasing large quantities.
By selecting appropriate print media and loading it properly, you are able to avoid most jams. See the
following for instructions on loading print media:
•Loading trays (including the standard tray, optional 250-sheet tray, and optional 500-sheet
tray)
•Loading the optional 2000-sheet drawer
•Using and loading the multipurpose feeder
•Using the loading the envelope feeder
Avoiding jams hints
The following 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 available on Lexmark’s Web site at
www.lexmark.com/publications for more information about which print media will provide
optimum results for your printing environment.
•If you need detailed information before purchasing large quantities of customized print media,
refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide.
•See Loading print media in standard and optional trays, Using and loading the
multipurpose feeder, and Using and loading the optional envelope feeder to load print
media properly.
•Do not overload the print media sources. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the
maximum height indicated by the load line labels in the sources.
•Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
121
Before removing jams
•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 use print media that you have cut or trimmed yourself.
•Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.
•Use only recommended print media. See Recommended paper.
•Make sure the recommended print side is face down when loading all trays for simplex
printing.
•Make sure the recommended print side is face up when loading the multipurpose feeder.
•Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. See Storing print media.
•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 of print media you have
loaded. Make sure the guides are not placed too tightly against the stack of print media.
•Make sure all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached. Refer to the Setup
Guide for more information.
Before removing jams
Remove any print jobs from any output bins before opening the upper front door to remove jams.
122
Identifying the print media path
Identifying the print media path
The following illustration shows the path that print media travels through the printer. The path varies
depending on the input source (trays, multipurpose feeder, envelope feeder) and output bins
(finisher, stacker, expander, mailbox) you are using.
Note: Jams in the standard output bin and the duplex unit are either paper or card stock.
CAUTION: Floor-mounted configurations require additional furniture.You must use either a
printer stand or printer base if you are using a 2000-sheet drawer, a duplex unit and
an input option, or more than one input option. If you purchased an MFP that scans,
copies, and faxes, you may need additional furniture. Refer to www.lexmark.com/

Understanding fonts
Typefaces and fonts
A font is a set of characters and symbols created with a distinct design. The distinct design is called
a typeface. The typefaces you select add personality to a document. Well-chosen typefaces make a
document easier to read.
The printer has numerous resident fonts in PCL 6 and PostScript 3 emulations. See Resident fonts
for a listing of all resident fonts.
176
Understanding fonts
Weight and style
Typefaces are often available in different weights and styles. These variations modify the original
typeface so you can, for example, emphasize important words in text or highlight book titles. The
different weights and styles are designed to complement the original typeface.
Weight refers to the thickness of the lines that form the characters. Thicker lines result in darker
characters. Some words commonly used to describe the weight of a typeface are bold, medium,
light, black, and heavy.
Style refers to other typeface modifications, such as tilt or character width. Italic and oblique are
styles where the characters are tilted. Narrow, condensed, and extended are three common styles
that modify the character widths.
Some fonts combine several weight and style modifications; for example, Helvetica Narrow Bold
Italic. A group of several weight and style variations of a single typeface is called a typeface family.
Most typeface families have four variations: regular, italic, bold, and bold italic. Some families have
more variations, as the following illustration for the Helvetica typeface family shows:
Pitch and point size
The size of a font is specified as either a pitch or point size, depending on whether the font is fixed
space or proportional.
In fixed space fonts, each character has the same width. Pitch is used to specify the size of fixed
space fonts. It is a measure of the number of characters that will print in one horizontal inch of type.
For example, all 10-pitch fonts print 10 characters per inch (cpi) and all 12-pitch fonts print 12 cpi:
In proportional (or typographic) fonts, every character can have a different width. Since proportional
fonts have characters with different widths, the font size is specified in point size, not pitch. Point size
refers to the height of the characters in the font. A point is defined as 1/72 inch. The characters in a
font printed at 24 point will be twice as large as the characters in the same font printed at 12 point.
177
Understanding fonts
The following illustration shows samples of a font printed in different point sizes:
The point size of a font is defined as the distance from the top of the tallest character in the font to the
bottom of the lowest character in the font. Due to the definition of point size, different fonts printed at
the same point size may appear quite different in size. This is because there are other font
parameters that affect how the font looks. However, the point size of a font is an excellent
specification of the relative size of a font. The following examples illustrate two very different
proportional fonts at 14 point:
Bitmapped and scalable fonts
The printer uses both bitmapped and scalable fonts.
Bitmapped fonts are stored in printer memory as predefined patterns of bits that represent a typeface
at a specific size, style, and resolution. The following illustration shows an example of a character
from a bitmapped font.
Bitmapped fonts are available in different type styles and point sizes as downloadable fonts. Contact
the place where you bought your printer for more information about downloadable fonts.
178
Understanding fonts
Scalable fonts (also called outline fonts) are stored as computer programs that define the outlines of
the characters in the font. Each time you print characters from a scalable font, the printer creates a
bitmap of the characters at the point size you choose and saves it temporarily in printer memory.
These temporary bitmapped fonts are deleted when you turn off or reset the printer. Scalable fonts
provide the flexibility of printing in many different point sizes.
Your printer uses different scalable font formats for downloading fonts to the printer. PCL 6 emulation
uses Intellifont and TrueType scalable fonts. PostScript 3 emulation uses Type 1 and TrueType
scalable fonts. There are thousands of different scalable fonts available in these different font formats
from numerous font suppliers.
If you plan to use many downloadable bitmapped or scalable fonts or if you plan to use many different
sizes of scalable fonts, you may need to purchase additional memory for your printer.
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 following table lists all the fonts resident in your printer. See Printing a font sample list for
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.

Readability disclaimer
Many factors can affect the readability of bar codes and optical character recognition (OCR)
characters, including printer settings, such as Print Resolution, Toner Darkness, and Print Darkness.
In addition, choice of print media can significantly affect the readability of bar codes. See Using the
printer menus and Print media guidelines for information on printer settings and print media
considerations to help optimize the readability of printer bar codes and OCR characters.
For more information, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on Lexmark’s Web site at
www.lexmark.com/publications. It is also located on the drivers CD.
Before purchasing any specific solutions, print a sample of OCR characters or bar codes on your
print media. Then, verify readability with the actual devices that will be used to read them. Lexmark
does not warrant that a specific bar code reader will be able to read the bar code images as printed
or that a specific OCR reader will be able to read the OCR characters as printed.
Symbol sets
A symbol set is the 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 applications, such as math symbols used for scientific text.
In PCL 6 emulation, a symbol set 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 83 symbol sets for the
resident PCL 6 emulation fonts.
Symbol sets for PCL 6 emulation
Not all font names support all of the symbol sets listed. Refer to the Technical Reference to
determine which symbol sets are supported by each font name.

disk option. Fonts downloaded to flash memory or hard disk remain in memory even after the printer
language changes, the printer resets, or the printer is turned off.
MarkVision includes a remote management function that lets you manipulate the font files you have
downloaded to flash memory or hard disk. Refer to the drivers CD for more information about
MarkVision.
Using the Local Printer Setup Utility
The Local Printer Setup Utility lets you select and save printer settings. These user default settings
remain in effect until you make another selection and apply it, or until you restore the original printer
settings (called factory default settings). See Restoring factory default settings for more
information.
The Local Printer Setup Utility is available on Lexmark’s Web site at www.lexmark.com. It may also
be provided on the drivers CD for the printer. Check the drivers CD booklet to verify this.

Using the Print and Hold function
Using the Print and Hold function
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. (See Understanding the operator panel
for information on using the operator panel.) You can use this function to delay printing a job, verify
one copy before printing additional copies, request extra copies of a job at a later time, or print a
confidential job when you can be at the printer to retrieve it.
Note: Print and Hold functions require a minimum of 16MB available printer memory. We
recommend a minimum of 32MB available printer memory and a hard disk.
Selecting a user name
All confidential and held jobs have a user name associated with them. To access all held jobs or
confidential jobs, you must first select your user name from a list of user names for print jobs. When
the list is presented, press Menu to scroll through the list. Press Select once you find your user name
for your job.
Printing and deleting held jobs
Once held jobs are stored in printer memory, you 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. Then, you select your user
name from a list. 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
1To 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.
2Press and release Menu until you see Held Jobs or Confidential Job on the operator panel
display, depending on the type of job you want to access.
188
Using the Print and Hold function
3Press Select.
User Name appears on the first line of the operator panel. The second line displays the
names of users currently associated with Print and Hold jobs.
4Press and release Menu until you see your user name.
Note: If you are looking for a Confidential Job, you are prompted to enter your PIN. See
Confidential jobs for more information.
5Press Select.
6Press Menu until the action you want to take is on the second line of the operator panel (Print
A Job, Delete A Job, and so on).
7Press Select.
•If you are looking for a particular job, press and release Menu to scroll through the list of
available jobs, and 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, press Menu to
increase or decrease the number on the display, and then press Select.
8Press 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.
189
Using the Print and Hold function
Reserve Print
If you send a Reserve Print job, the printer does not print the job immediately, but 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:
=____
190
Removing optional cards
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 to ensure confidentiality.
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.

Understanding the operator panel
Understanding the operator panel
This section contains information about understanding the operator panel, changing printer settings,
and understanding operator panel menus.
You can change most printer settings from your software application or printer driver. Settings you
change from the application or printer driver apply only to the job you are preparing to send to the
printer.
Changes made to printer settings from a software application override changes made from the
printer operator panel.
If you cannot change a setting from your application, use the printer operator panel or the remote
operator panel available from MarkVision. Changing a printer setting from the printer operator panel
or from MarkVision makes that setting the user default.
The printer operator panel has a 2-line by 16-character liquid crystal display (LCD), five buttons, and
one indicator light that flashes when the printer is processing a job indicated by the Busy message.
Indicator light
The indicator light gives information about the status of your printer. If the light is:
•Off, the printer is off
•On, the printer is on, but idle
•Blinking, the printer is on and is busy
Using the operator panel buttons
Use the five operator panel buttons to open a menu, scroll through a list of values, change printer
settings, and respond to printer messages.

209
Using the operator panel to change printer settings
If your printer is configured as a network printer available to a number of users, it is possible that
Menus Disabled appears on the display when you press Menu from the Ready state. Disabling the
menus prevents other users from using the operator panel to inadvertently change a printer user
default that has been set by the administrator. You can still clear messages and select items from the
Job Menu when printing a job, but you cannot change other printer settings. However, you can use
your printer driver to override printer user defaults and select settings for individual print jobs.
See the menu map for a brief overview of the printer menus available from the operator panel.
Using the operator panel to change printer settings
From the operator panel, you can select menu items and associated values to print your jobs
successfully. You can also use the panel to alter the setup and operating environment of the printer.
See Using printer menus for an explanation of all the menu items.
You can modify printer settings by:
•Selecting a setting from a list of values
•Changing an On/Off setting
•Changing a numerical setting
To select a new value as a setting:
1From a Ready status message, press Menu. The menu names appear.
2Continue to press and release Menu until you see the menu you need.
3Press Select to select the menu or menu item on the second line of the display.
•If the selection is a menu, the menu is opened and the first printer setting in the menu
appears.
•If the selection is a menu item, the default setting for the menu item appears.
(The current user default setting has an asterisk [*] beside it.)
Each menu item has a list of values for the menu item. A value can be:
•A phrase or word to describe a setting
•A numerical value that can be changed
•An On or Off setting
4Press Menu to move to the value you need.
5Press Select to select the value on the second line of the operator panel. An asterisk appears
beside the value to indicate that it is now the user default setting. The new setting appears for
one second, clears, displays the word Saved, and then displays the previous list of menu
items.
6Press Return to go back to previous menus. Make additional menu selections to set new
default settings. Press Go if this is the last printer setting you want to change.
210
Menus Disabled
User default settings remain in effect until you save new settings or restore the factory defaults.
Settings you choose from your software application can also change or override the user default
settings you select from the operator panel.
The diagram in Using the printer menus shows the menu items in each menu.
An asterisk (*) next to a value indicates the factory default setting. Factory defaults may differ for
different countries.
Factory defaults are the function settings in effect the first time you turn your printer on. These
remain in effect until you change them. Factory defaults are restored if you select the Restore value
for the Factory Defaults menu item in the Utilities Menu. See Utilities Menu for more information.
When you select a new setting from the operator panel, the asterisk moves next to the selected
setting to identify it as the current user default.
User defaults are the settings you select for different printer functions and store in printer memory.
Once stored, these settings remain active until new ones are stored or the factory defaults are
restored.
Note: Settings you choose from your software application may override the settings you
select from the operator panel.
Menus Disabled
If your printer is configured as a network printer available to a number of users, Menus Disabled
may appear when you press Menu from the Ready state. Disabling the menus prevents users from
using the operator panel to inadvertently change a printer default that has been set by the person
managing the printer. You can still use Print and Hold features, clear messages, and select items
from the Job Menu when printing a job, but you cannot change other printer settings. You can,
however, use your printer driver to override printer defaults and select settings for individual print
jobs.
