2More about installing driver s

Installing drivers for local printin g

The printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with your printer.

The procedure to install drivers depends on the operating system you are using. Use the following table to

find driver installation instructions for your particular operating system. If you need additional help, refer to

the documentation that shipped with your computer and your software.

Windows

Some Windows operating systems may already include a printer driver that is compatible with your printer.

This may mean that installation will seem automatic in later versions of Windows. System printer drivers

work well for simple printing, but they contain less functionality than our enhanced custom printer driver.

Installing a custom driver will not replace the system driver. A separate printer object will be created and

appear in the Printers folder.

Use the drivers CD that shipped with your printer to install the custom printer driver and obtain all the

enhanced printer features and functionality.

Drivers are also av ailable in downloadable software packages on our Lexmark Web site at

www.lexmark.com.

Using Windows 95 and Windows 98 (first edition)

Serial connections

With serial printing, data is transferred one bit at a time. Although serial printing is usually slower than

parallel printing, it is the preferred option when there is a great deal of distance between your printer and

computer, or when a parallel interface is not available.

Before you can print, you must estab lish communication between your printer and computer. To do this,

you have to 1) set serial parameters in the printer, 2) install a printer driver on the attached computer, and

3) match the serial settings in the COM port.

Linking trays

•If you load the same size and type of paper or specialty media in more than one tray, the printer

automatically links the trays. This means that when one tray is empty, it feeds from the next linked

tray.

For example, if you have the same size and type of paper or specialty media loaded in tray 2 and

tray 4, the printer feeds from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then it feeds from the next linked

tray—tray 4.

•If you load the same size paper or specialty media in each tray, make sure it is also all the same

type to link the trays.

Once the trays you selected are loaded with the same size and type of paper or specialty media,

select the same Paper Type setting in the Paper Menu for these sources.

•To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type or Paper Size to a unique value in each one of the

trays.

Linking output bins

If you attach an optional finisher or mailbox to your printer, you can link output bins, or otherwise specify

how the printer sends jobs to the bins, by changing the Configure Bins settings in the Paper Menu.

To change the Configure Bins setting:

1Press Menu unti l you see P aper Men u, and then press Select.

2Press Menu unti l you see C onfigure Bins , and then press Select. Mailbox appears on the

second line of the display.

3Press Menu unti l you see the value you want, and then press Select to save the value as the bin

configuration default.

4Press Go to return the printer to the Ready state.

For more information, see Configure Bins and Bin <x> Full.

Holding a job in the printer

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, y ou must go to the printer and use the operator panel menus

to identify which held job you want to print.

Note: Print and Hold functions require a minimum of 128MB available printer memory. We

recommend a minimum of 256MB available printer memory and a hard disk.

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. If y ou 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.

Value Description

Mailbox Lets you select an output bin when you send a job to print. (If you prefer, you can select a

default output bin for all print jobs to go to.) The printer alerts you when the bin you selected

becomes full, and stops printing until you empty the bin.

Link Links all available bins so that when one bin becomes full, the printer sends jobs to the next

linked bin.

Mail Overflow* Sends jobs automatically to a preassigned overflow bin when the current bin becomes full.

Type Assignment Lets you assign different types of media to specific output bins or set of linked bins. The

printer then sends all printed media to the bin or set of linked bins that you designated to

receive each type of paper or specialty media.

* Only available if you have attached an optional mailbox.

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 Menu unti l you see H eld Jobs or Conf idential Job on the operator panel display,

depending on the type of job you want to access.

3Press Select.

User Na me 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 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 y ou a re loo king for a pa rticul ar job, pres s Menu to scroll through the list of av ailable 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, use 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 displa y, 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 aw are, howe ver, 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.

Reserve Print

If you send a Reserve Print job, the printer does not print the job immediately, b ut 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 f our 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 f ollowing prompt

is displayed:

Enter P IN:

=____

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 b utton to press for each digit (1–6). As you enter the PIN,

asterisks are displayed on the operator panel to ensure confidentiality.

If you enter an inv alid 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.

Tips for successful printing

Storing paper

Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.

•Store paper in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the

relative humidity is 40%.

•Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf rather than directly on the floor.

•If you store individual packages of paper 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 paper packages.

•Store paper in its original wrapper until you load it into the printer.

Storing supplies

Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original

packaging until you are ready to use them.

Do not expose supplies to:

•Direct sunlight

•Temperatur es above 35 °C (95°F)

•High humidity (above 80%)

•Salty air

•Corrosive gases

•Heavy dust

Avoiding jams

You can avoid most paper jams by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer.

See the f ollowing for loading instructions:

•Loading 500-sheet trays

•Loading the 2000-sheet tray

•Loading the multipurpose feeder

The following hints can help you avoid paper jams:

•Use only recommended paper. Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on our Lexmark

Web site at www.lexmark.com for more information about which paper provides optimum results

for your printing environment.

•Do not remove paper trays while a job is printing. Wait for a Load T ray <x> or Ready message

before you remove the tray.

•If you need detailed information before purchasing large quantities of customized paper, refer to

the Card Stock & Label Guide.

•Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper.

•Never mix media types within a tray.

•Flex, fan, and straighten paper before you load it.

•Do not overload the trays or the multipurpose feeder. Make sure the stack height does not exceed

the maximum height indicated.

•Push all trays firmly into the printer after loading them.

•Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size paper you have loaded.

•Do not send jobs to staple, hole punch, or offset for transparencies, labels, or card stock.

•We recommend that transparencies, labels, card stock, and envelopes not be sent to the optional

mailbox or optional finisher. These specialty media types should be sent to the standard bin.

•If an optional finisher or mailbox is attached, make sure the printer and option are correctly

aligned. Refer to the Setup Guide for alignment instructions.

•Make sure all cables that connect the high capacity feeder or finisher to the printer are correctly

attached. Refer to the Setup Guide for more information.

•If a jam should occur, clear the entire paper path. See Clearing the entire paper path for more

information.

Selecting print media

Paper

The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures 160°C (320°F). 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.

Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 160°C (320°F) without

melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in

xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 160°C (320°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; late x inks might not. If y ou are in doubt,

contact your paper supplier.

Transparencies

Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are compatible with laser

printers that heat transparencies to 150°C (302°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 ite at

www.lexmark.com.

Envelopes

Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 155°C (311°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.

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 155°C (311°F).

Avoiding paper jams

The following hints can help you avoid paper jams:

•Do not remove paper trays while a job is printing. Wait for a Load T ray <x> or Ready message

before you remove the tray.

•Use only recommended paper.

•Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper.

•Flex, fan, and straighten paper before you load it.

•Do not overload the trays or the multipurpose feeder. Make sure the stack height does not exceed

the maximum height indicated.

•Push all trays firmly into the printer after loading them.

•Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size paper you have loaded.

•Do not send jobs to staple, hole punch, or offset for transparencies, labels, or card stock.

•We recommend that transparencies, labels, card stock, and envelopes not be sent to the optional

mailbox or optional finisher. These specialty media types should be sent to the standard bin.

•If an optional finisher or mailbox is attached to your printer, make sure the printer and option are

correctly aligned. Refer to the Setup Guide that came with your printer or option for alignment

instructions.

•Make sure all cables that connect the high capacity feeder or finisher to the printer are correctly

attached. Refer to the Setup Guide for more information.

•If a jam should occur, clear the entire paper path.

User Guide resources

Troubleshooting information can be found in this chapter, and can also be found in the chapters on Using

printer menus, Understanding printer messages, and Clearing paper jams.

Online Technical Support

Technical support is available on our Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.

Calling for service

When you call for printer service, describe the problem you are experiencing, the message on the display,

and the troubleshooting steps you have already taken to find a solution.

You need to know your printer model type and serial number. Refer to the label on the back of the printer

near the power cord for this informat ion.

Note: The serial number is also listed on the menu settings page you can print from the

Utilities Menu. See Printing a menu settings page for more information.

Checking an unresponsive printer

Sometimes printer problems are very easy to solve. If your printer is not responding, first make sure:

•The power cord is plugged into the printer and a properly grounded electrical outlet.

•The electrical outlet is not turned off by any switch or breaker.

•The printer is not plugged into any surge protectors, uninterrupted power supplies, or extension

cords.

•Other electrical equipment plugged into the outlet is working.

•The printer is turned on.

•The printer cable is securely attached to the printer and the host computer, print server, option, or

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about color printing

What is RGB color?

Red, green, and blue light can be added together in various amounts to produce a large range of colors

observed in nature. For example, red and green light can be combined to create yellow light. Tele visions

and computer monitors create colors in this manner. RGB color is a method of describing colors by

indicating the amount of red, green, and blue light needed to reproduce a particular color.

Incorrect margi n s • Guides in the selected tray are

set for a different size paper

than what is loaded in the tray.

• Auto size sensing is set to off,

but you loaded a different size

paper in a tray. For example,

What is CMYK color?

Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks or toners can be printed in various amounts to produce a large

range of colors observed in nature. For e xample, cyan and yellow can be combined to create green.

Printing presses, inkjet printers, and color laser printers create colors in this manner. CMYK color is a

method of describing colors by indicating the amount of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black needed to

reproduce a particular color.

How is color specified in a document to be printed?

Software applications typically specify document color using RGB or CMYK color combinations.

Additionally, they commonly let users modify the color of each object in a document. Since the procedures

to modify colors vary depending on the application, refer to the software application's Help section for

instruction.

How does the prin ter know what color to print ?

When a user prints a document, information describing the type and color of each object in the document

is sent to the printer. The color information is passed through color conversion tables that translate the

color into appropriate amounts of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toner needed to produce the desired

color. The object type information lets different color conv ersion tables be used f or different types of

objects. For example, it is possible to apply one type of color conversion table to text while applying a

different color conversion table to photographic images.

Should I use t he PostScript or PCL driv er for the best color? What driver set tings sh ould I

use for the best color?

The PostScript driver is strongly recommended for best color quality. The default settings in the PostScript

driver provide preferred color quality for the majority of printouts.

Why doesn't the printed color match the color I see on my computer screen?

The color conversion tables used in Auto Color Correction mode generally approximate the colors of a

standard computer monitor. However, because of technology differences that exist between printers and

monitors there are many colors that can be generated on a computer screen that cannot be ph ysically

reproduced on a color laser printer. Color match can also be affected by monitor variations and lighting

conditions. Read the response to the question “How can I match a particular color (such as a color in

a corporate logo)?” on page 130 for recommendations on how the printer's Color Samples pages ma y be

useful in solving certain color matching problems.

The printed page appears tinted. Can I slightly adjust the color?

Sometimes a user may consider printed pages to appear tinted (for example, everything printed seems to

be too red). This can be caused by environmental conditions, paper type, lighting conditions, or simply user

preference. In these instances, Color Balance may be used to create more preferable color. Color

Balance provides the user with the ability to make subtle adjustments to the amount of toner being used in

each color plane. Selecting positive (or negative) values for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black under the

Color Balance menu will slightly increase (or decrease) the amount of toner used for the chosen color . F or

example, if a user believes the overall printed page to be too red, then decreases to both magenta and

yellow could potentially improve color preference.

Is it possible to increase the gloss in the printed output?

Obtain additional gloss by printing using the 1200 dpi Print Resolution setting.

130

My color transparencies seem dark when projected. Is there anything I can do to improve

the color?

This problem most commonly occurs when projecting transparencies with reflective overhead projectors.

To obtain the highest projected color quality, transmissive overhead projectors are recommended. If a

reflective projector must be used, then adjusting Toner Darkness settings to 1, 2, or 3 will lighten the

transparency.

What is Manual Color Correction?

The color conversion tables applied to each object on the printed page when using the default Auto Color

Correction setting generate preferred color for the majority of documents. Occasionally a user may want

to apply a different color table mapping. This customization is accomplished using the Manual Color menu

and the Manual Color Correction setting.

Manual Color Correction applies the RGB and CMYK color conversion table mappings as defined in the

Manual Color menu. Users may select any of four different color conversion tables available for RGB

objects (sRGB Display, sRGB Vivid, Vivid, and Off) and any of four different color conversion tables

available for CMYK objects (US CMYK, Euro CMYK, Vivid CMYK, and Off).

Note: The Manual Color Correction setting is not useful if the software application does not

specify colors with RGB or CMYK combinations, or in certain situations where the

software application or the computer's operating system adjusts the colors specified in

the application through color management.

How can I match a particular color (such as a color in a corporate log o)?

Occasionally users have a need for the printed color of a particular object to closely match a specific color

of interest. A typical example of this is when a user is trying to match the color of a corporate logo. While

instances can occur in which the printer cannot exactly reproduce the desired color, users should be able

to identify adequate color matches for the majority of cases. The Color Samples menu items can provide

useful information in helping to solve this particular type of color matching problem.

The eight Color Samples options correspond to color conversion tables in the printer. Selecting any of the

Color Samples options will generate a multi-page printout consisting of hundreds of colored box es. Either a

CMYK or RGB combination will be located on each box depending upon the table selected. The observed

color of each box is obtained by passing the CMYK or RGB combination labeled on the box through the

selected color conversion table.

The user can scan the color samples pages and identify the box whose color is the closest to the desired

color. The color combination labeled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the object in a

software application. The software application's Help section should provide instructions for modifying an

object's color. Manual Color Correction may be necessary to utilize the selected color conversi on table

for the parti cula r obj ect.

131

Which Color Samples pages to use for a particular color matching problem depends on the Color

Correction setting being used (Auto, Off, or Manual), the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or

images), and how the color of the object is specified in the software application (RGB or CMYK

combinations). The following table identifies which Color Samples pages to use:

Note: The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software application does not specify

colors with RGB or CMYK combinations. Additionally, certain situations exist where the

software application or the computer's operating system will adjust the RGB or CMYK

combinations specified in the application through color management. The resulting

printed color may not be an exact match of the Color Samples pages.

•All settings in the Parallel Menu, Serial Menu, Network Menu, and USB Menu.

If you need more information about changing menu settings or selecting new user default settings, see

Changing menu settings.

133

Aligning the image transfer unit

For best print quality, make sure you align the image transfer unit after replacement or if colors print too

lightly.

To align the image transfer unit:

1Make sure the printer is on and the Ready message appears.

2Press Menu until you see Util ities Menu, and then press Select.

3Press Menu until you see Color Ali gnment, and then press Select.

Several test pages print.

4For each alignment group on the test pages, locate the number next to the alignment pattern that

comes closest to forming a perfectly straight line.

For example, in this sample group, pattern 3 comes closest to forming a straight line.

It is helpful to write all twelve alignment values in the lines provided on the test pages before going

on to step 5. You must select a value for all twelve settings.

5When you see A=10 (or other number), press Menu until you find the number value you want to

use, and then press Select. A Saved message briefly appears and then the next test alignment is

displayed.

Using the Coverage Estimator

The Coverage Estimator provides you with an estimate of the percent coverage of cyan, magenta, yellow,

and black toner on a page. These estimates are printed on the page.

To turn on the Coverage Estimator utility:

1Make sure the printer is on and the Ready message appears.

2Press Menu until you see Util ities Menu, and then press Select.

3Press Menu until you see Covera ge Estimator , and then press Select.

4Press Menu until you see On, and then press Select.

5Press Go to return to the Ready message .

The utility can be turned off from the operator panel or by turning the printer off.

The Cover age Estimator utilizes an algorithm that counts pixels f or each toner color: b lack, cyan, magenta,

and yellow. Once the utility is turned on, the printer prints the percent coverage for each color on each

page of the job.

The Cover age Estimator is only intended to estimate the cov erage on a given page. F or all toner colors that

are used, the minimum percentage that prints is 2 percent. Reported values may vary from printer to

printer. The accuracy of the estimates may be affected by how full the print cartridges are, environmental

conditions, the media type, the software application, software settings, the driver, driver settings, and the

content of the page. Lexmark makes no claim as to the accuracy of the estimated percents.

135

Configuring printer alerts

You can configure the printer several ways to let you know when it requires attention.

Using the Setup Menu

Selecting Auto Continue may affect how the printer alerts execute. This setting defines how long the

printer waits after displaying a message before it resumes printing.

Using MarkVision Professional

MarkVision™ Professional, Lexmark’s network printer management utility, indicates when it is time to

replace supplies and points out actual or potential problems. When a printer needs attention, it alerts the

network administrator with a detailed graphic of the printer showing the cause for the alert (for ex ample, an

empty paper tray). For more information about MarkVision Professional, refer to the drivers CD that

shipped with your printer.

Using MarkVision Messenger

MarkVision Messenger lets you create Actions that execute specific commands whenever messages like

Tray x Missi ng or 88 Toner Low appear on the display. For example, you can create an Action that

sends an e-mail to the administrator when the printer runs out of paper.

Actions can be set up to occur automatically, as well as conditionally or repeatedly. For more information

about MarkVision Messenger, refer to the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.
