Selecting paper

Paper guidelines

Use the appropriate paper to prevent jams and help ensure trouble‑free printing.

•Always use new, undamaged paper.

•Before loading paper, know the recommended printable side of the paper. This information is usually

indicated on the paper package.

•Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.

•Do not mix paper sizes, types, or weights in the same tray; mixing results in jams.

•Do not use coated papers unless they are speciﬁcally designed for electrophotographic printing.

Paper characteristics

The following paper characteristics aect print quality and reliability. Consider these factors before printing on

them.

Weight

The standard tray can feed paper weights from 60 to 120 g/m2 (16 to 32 lb) grain long paper. Paper lighter than

60 g/m2 (16 lb) may not be sti enough to feed properly, and may cause jams.

Curl

Curl is the tendency for paper to curl at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems. Curl can

occur after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures. Storing paper

unwrapped in hot, humid, cold, or dry conditions can contribute to paper curling before printing and can cause

feeding problems.

Smoothness

Paper smoothness directly aects print quality. If paper is too rough, toner cannot fuse to it properly. If paper

is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. We recommend the use of paper with 50

Sheeld points.

Moisture content

The amount of moisture in paper aects both print quality and the printer ability to feed the paper correctly.

Leave paper in its original wrapper until you use it. Exposure of paper to moisture changes can degrade its

performance.

Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before printing.

Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation environment is very dierent from the printer

environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.

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 60–120 g/m2 (16–32‑lb) paper, grain long paper is recommended.

Learn about the printer 13

Fiber content

Most high‑quality xerographic paper is made from 100 percent chemically treated 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 can negatively aect paper handling.

Unacceptable paper

The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:

•Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless papers,

carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper

•Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer

•Preprinted papers that can be aected by the temperature in the printer fuser

•Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±2.3 mm

(±0.9 in.), such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms

In some cases, registration can be adjusted with a software application to successfully print on these forms.

•Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers

•Rough‑edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers, or curled papers

•Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European)

•Paper weighing less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb)

•Multiple‑part forms or documents

Selecting preprinted forms and letterhead

•Use grain long paper.

•Use only forms and letterhead printed using an oset lithographic or engraved printing process.

•Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

•Use inks that are not aected by the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidation‑set or oil‑based generally meet

these requirements; latex inks might not.

•Print samples on preprinted forms and letterheads considered for use before buying large quantities. This

action determines whether the ink in the preprinted form or letterhead aects print quality.

•When in doubt, contact your paper supplier.

•When printing on letterhead, load the paper in the proper orientation for your printer. For more information,

see the Paper and Specialty Media Guide.

Storing paper

Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:

•Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before printing.

•Extend the time several days if the storage or transportation environment is very dierent from the printer

environment. Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.

•For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40 percent.

•Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with relative

humidity between 40 and 60 percent.

•Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the ﬂoor.

Learn about the printer 14

•Store individual packages on a ﬂat surface.

•Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.

•Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton and

wrapper help keep the paper clean, dry, and ﬂat.

The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time-averaged measurements.

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.

If the print speed is less than or equal to 30 pages per minute, then you can set the timeout only up to 60

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 196

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.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED WARRANTY FOR LEXMARK LASER PRINTERS,

LEXMARK LED PRINTERS, AND LEXMARK MULTIFUNCTION LASER

PRINTERS

Lexmark International, Inc., Lexington, KY

This limited warranty applies to the United States and Canada. For customers outside the U.S., refer to the

country-speciﬁc warranty information that came with your product.

This limited warranty applies to this product only if it was originally purchased for your use, and not for resale,

from Lexmark or a Lexmark Remarketer, referred to in this statement as “Remarketer.”

Limited warranty

Lexmark warrants that this product:

—Is manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts, which perform like new parts

—Is, during normal use, free from defects in material and workmanship

If this product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, contact a Remarketer or Lexmark for

repair or replacement (at Lexmark's option).

If this product is a feature or option, this statement applies only when that feature or option is used with the

product for which it was intended. To obtain warranty service, you may be required to present the feature or

option with the product.

Notices 203

If you transfer this product to another user, warranty service under the terms of this statement is available to

that user for the remainder of the warranty period. You should transfer proof of original purchase and this

statement to that user.

Limited warranty service

The warranty period starts on the date of original purchase as shown on the purchase receipt and ends 12

months later provided that the warranty period for any supplies and for any maintenance items included with

the printer shall end earlier if it, or its original contents, are substantially used up, depleted, or consumed. Fuser

Units, Transfer/Transport Units, Paper Feed items, if any, and any other items for which a Maintenance Kit is

available are substantially consumed when the printer displays a “Life Warning” or “Scheduled Maintenance”

message for such item.

To obtain warranty service you may be required to present proof of original purchase. You may be required to

deliver your product to the Remarketer or Lexmark, or ship it prepaid and suitably packaged to a Lexmark

designated location. You are responsible for loss of, or damage to, a product in transit to the Remarketer or the

Lexmark designated location.

When warranty service involves the exchange of a product or part, the item replaced becomes the property of

the Remarketer or Lexmark. The replacement may be a new or repaired item.

The replacement item assumes the remaining warranty period of the original product.

Replacement is not available to you if the product you present for exchange is defaced, altered, in need of a

repair not included in warranty service, damaged beyond repair, or if the product is not free of all legal

obligations, restrictions, liens, and encumbrances.

As part of your warranty service and/or replacement, Lexmark may update the ﬁrmware in your printer to the

latest version. Firmware updates may modify printer settings and cause counterfeit and/or unauthorized

products, supplies, parts, materials (such as toners and inks), software, or interfaces to stop working. Authorized

use of genuine Lexmark products will not be impacted.

Before you present this product for warranty service, remove all print cartridges, programs, data, and removable

storage media (unless directed otherwise by Lexmark).

For further explanation of your warranty alternatives and the nearest Lexmark authorized servicer in your area

contact Lexmark on the World Wide Web.

Remote technical support is provided for this product throughout its warranty period. For products no longer

covered by a Lexmark warranty, technical support may not be available or only be available for a fee.

Extent of limited warranty

Lexmark does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of any product or the durability or longevity of

prints produced by any product.

Warranty service does not include repair of failures caused by:

—Modiﬁcation or unauthorized attachments

—Accidents, misuse, abuse or use inconsistent with Lexmark user’s guides, manuals, instructions or guidance

—Unsuitable physical or operating environment

—Maintenance by anyone other than Lexmark or a Lexmark authorized servicer

—Operation of a product beyond the limit of its duty cycle

—Use of printing media outside of Lexmark speciﬁcations

Notices 204

—Refurbishment, repair, reﬁlling or remanufacture by a third party of products, supplies or parts

—Products, supplies, parts, materials (such as toners and inks), software, or interfaces not furnished by Lexmark

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER LEXMARK NOR ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS

OR REMARKETERS MAKE ANY OTHER WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS

OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THIS PRODUCT, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM THE IMPLIED

WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND

SATISFACTORY QUALITY. ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY NOT BE DISCLAIMED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW

ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WILL

APPLY AFTER THIS PERIOD. ALL INFORMATION, SPECIFICATIONS, PRICES, AND SERVICES ARE SUBJECT

TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE.

Limitation of liability

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

possibility of such damages. Lexmark is not liable for any claim by you based on a third party claim.

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

apply to you.

This limited warranty gives you speciﬁc legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
