Clearing jams
Avoiding jams
Load paper properly
•Make sure paper lies flat in the tray.
Correct loading of paper Incorrect loading of paper
•Do not remove a tray while the printer is printing.
•Do not load a tray while the printer is printing. Load it before printing, or wait for a prompt to load it.
•Do not load too much paper. Make sure the stack height is below the maximum paper fill indicator.
•Do not slide the paper into the tray. Load paper as shown in the illustration.
•Make sure the guides in the tray or the multipurpose feeder are properly positioned and are not pressing
tightly against the paper or envelopes.
•Push the tray firmly into the printer after loading paper.
•If you are loading prepunched paper for use with the staple finisher, then make sure the holes on the long
edge of the paper are on the right side of the tray. For more information, see the “Loading paper and specialty
media” section of the User’s Guide.
Clearing jams 129
Allow the paper to enter the optional mailbox bins properly
•Make sure to adjust the bin extender so that the paper size indicators match the size of the paper used.
Notes:
–If the bin extender is shorter than the size of the paper you are printing on, then the paper causes a
jam in the mailbox bin. For example, if you are printing on a legal-size paper and the bin extender is
set to letter-size, then a jam occurs.
–If the bin extender is longer than the size of the paper you are printing on, then the edges become
uneven and the paper is not stacked properly. For example, if you are printing on a letter-size paper
and the bin extender is set to legal-size, then the paper does not stack properly.
•If paper needs to be returned to the mailbox bin, then insert the paper under the bin arm, and then push
the paper all the way back.
Note: If the paper is not under the bin arm, then a jam occurs due to an overfilled bin.
Use recommended paper
•Use only recommended paper or specialty media.
•Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, bent, or curled paper.
Clearing jams 130
•Flex, fan, and straighten paper or specialty media before loading it.
•Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.
•Do not mix paper sizes, weights, or types in the same tray.
•Make sure the paper size and type are set correctly on the computer or printer control panel.
•Store paper per manufacturer recommendations.
Identifying jam locations
Notes:
•When Jam Assist is set to On, the printer flushes blank pages or pages with partial prints after a jammed
page has been cleared. Check your printed output for blank pages.
•When Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto, the printer reprints jammed pages.

Instantaneous power draws may be substantially higher than the average.
Values are subject to change. See www.lexmark.com for current values.
Sleep Mode
This product is designed with an energy-saving mode called Sleep Mode. The Sleep Mode saves energy by
lowering power consumption during extended periods of inactivity. The Sleep Mode is automatically engaged
after this product is not used for a specified period of time, called the Sleep Mode Timeout.
Factory default Sleep Mode Timeout for this product (in minutes): 15
By using the configuration menus, the Sleep Mode Timeout can be modified between 1 minute and 120 minutes.
Setting the Sleep Mode Timeout to a low value reduces energy consumption, but may increase the response
time of the product. Setting the Sleep Mode Timeout to a high value maintains a fast response, but uses more
energy.
Notices 222
Hibernate Mode
This product is designed with an ultra‑low power operating mode called Hibernate mode. When operating in
Hibernate Mode, all other systems and devices are powered down safely.
The Hibernate mode can be entered in any of the following methods:
•Using the Hibernate Timeout
•Using the Schedule Power modes
Factory default Hibernate Timeout for this product in all countries or regions 3 days
The amount of time the printer waits after a job is printed before it enters Hibernate mode can be modified
between one hour and one month.
O mode
If this product has an o mode which still consumes a small amount of power, then to completely stop product
power consumption, disconnect the power supply cord from the electrical outlet.
Total energy usage
It is sometimes helpful to estimate the total product energy usage. Since power consumption claims are
provided in power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the product spends
in each mode in order to calculate energy usage. The total product energy usage is the sum of each mode's
energy usage.

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standards. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service and to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-
channel mobile satellite systems, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to
provide maximum shielding.
High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e., priority users) of the bands 5250–5350MHz and 5650–
5850MHz. These radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
Industrie Canada (Canada)
Selon la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, l'émetteur radio ne fonctionne qu'avec une antenne dont le type
et le gain maximal (ou inférieur) ont été approuvés par Industrie Canada. Pour réduire les interférences radio
potentielles auprès d'autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain doivent être choisis de telle sorte que la
puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne soit pas supérieure à ce qui est nécessaire pour assurer la
réussite de la communication.
Cet appareil est conforme aux normes RSS exemptes de licence d'Industrie Canada. Son fonctionnement est
soumis aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) cet appareil ne doit pas causer d'interférences et (2) il doit accepter
toutes les interférences, y compris les celles qui peuvent entraîner un fonctionnement indésirable.
Afin de prévenir les interférences radio des services sous licence et pour réduire le risque d'interférences
nuisibles aux systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux, cet appareil est destiné à être utilisé
à l’intérieur et loin des fenêtres afin de fournir une protection maximale.
Les radars à haute puissance sont définis comme les utilisateurs principaux (p. ex., utilisateurs prioritaires) dans
les bandes de 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz. Ces radars peuvent causer des interférences ou des
dommages aux appareils RELOC-EL.

Your sole remedy under this limited warranty is set forth in this document. For any claim concerning performance
or nonperformance of Lexmark or a Remarketer for this product under this limited warranty, you may recover
actual damages up to the limit set forth in the following paragraph.
Lexmark's liability for actual damages from any cause whatsoever will be limited to the amount you paid for the
product that caused the damages. This limitation of liability will not apply to claims by you for bodily injury or
damage to real property or tangible personal property for which Lexmark is legally liable. IN NO EVENT WILL
LEXMARK BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, INCIDENTAL DAMAGE, OR OTHER
ECONOMIC OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. This is true even if you advise Lexmark or a Remarketer of the

Notices 228
This limitation of remedies also applies to claims against any Suppliers and Remarketers of Lexmark. Lexmark's
and its Suppliers' and Remarketers' limitations of remedies are not cumulative. Such Suppliers and Remarketers
are intended beneficiaries of this limitation.
Additional rights
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations or exclusions contained above may not
