2Sending a job to print
A
printer driver
is software that lets your computer communicate with your printer. When you choose
Print from a software application, a window representing the printer driver opens. Select the
appropriate settings for the specific job you are sending to print. Print settings selected from the driver
override the default settings selected from the printer operator panel.
You may need to click Properties or Setup from the initial Print box to see all of the available printer
settings you can change. If you are not familiar with a feature in the printer driver window, open the
online Help for more information.
To support all the printer features, use the Lexmark custom printer drivers. Updated drivers, as well as
a complete description of the driver packages and Lexmark driver support, are available from the
Lexmark Web site. You can also use the system drivers built into your operating system. Refer to the
Setup Guide
for more information about choosing and installing drivers.
To print a job from a typical Windows application:
1Open the file you want to print.
2From the File menu, select Print.
3Verify that the correct printer is selected in the dialog box. Modify the printer settings as
appropriate (such as the pages you want to print or the number of copies).
4Click Properties or Setup to adjust printer settings not available from the first screen, then click
OK.
5Click OK or Print to send the job to the selected printer.

5Using 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 and not print it immediately. When you are ready to print the job, use the printer operator
panel menus to identify which
held
job you want to print. (See Understanding the printer 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.
For more information about each of the four types of held jobs, click a topic:
•Repeat Print
•Reserve Print
•Verify Print
•Confidential jobs
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 operator panel to specify what you want
to do with one or more of the jobs. From the Job Menu, you can select either Confidential Job or Held
Jobs (Repeat Print, Reserve Print, and Verify Print jobs). Then, you select your user name from a list.
If you select Confidential Job, you must then 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
14
To access held jobs from the operator panel:
1Press Menu until you see Job Menu:
–If the printer displays the Busy message, press Menu to open the Job Menu.
–If the printer displays the Ready message, press Menu once to find Confidential Job or
Held Jobs (depending on the type of job you sent) on the second line of the display. Press
Select.
Note: If you sent both types of jobs, press Menu to scroll forward to Held Jobs if you want
to access this type first. Then, press Select.
A list of user names and associated print jobs is presented.
2Press Menu until you see your user name in the list, and then press Select.
Note: If you are looking for a confidential job, you are prompted to enter your PIN. See
Confidential jobs for more information.
3Press Menu until you see the action you want to take (Print A Job, Delete A Job, and so on),
and then press Select.
4Press Menu until you see your print job, and then press Select. 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. Press Select.
5Press Go to print or delete the jobs you have selected.
The printer briefly shows messages indicating what Print and Hold functions it is performing,
and then returns to the Ready message.
Recognizing when format errors occur
If the symbol appears on the operator panel 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. However, 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.
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.
Note: Repeat Print jobs are automatically deleted from printer memory when the printer
requires extra memory to process additional jobs.
15
Reserve Print
If you send a Reserve Print job, the printer 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. Unlike Repeat Print jobs, Reserve
Print jobs are not automatically deleted if the printer requires extra memory to process additional jobs.
See Printing and deleting held jobs for more information on Reserve Print jobs.
Verify Print
If you send a Verify Print job, the printer prints one copy and holds the remaining copies 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 held in printer memory until you
enter the same four-digit PIN from the 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.
Entering a personal identification number (PIN)
When you select Confidential Job from the Job Menu, the following prompt appears on the display
after you select your user name:
Enter PIN:
=____
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 appear on the display to ensure confidentiality

Go5Stop 6
Enter PIN

16
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.
Once you enter a valid PIN, you can choose to print or delete jobs matching the PIN you entered. (See
Printinganddeletingheldjobsfor more information.) After printing all requested copies of the job,
the printer deletes the confidential job from memory.
17
6Printing a confidential job
If you print a job that is personal or confidential, and you do not want anyone else to see it, the printer
can hold your job in memory until you arrive at the printer.
Note: This will only work with the Lexmark custom drivers that came on the drivers CD
which shipped with your printer.
To print a confidential job:
1In your word processor, spreadsheet, browser, or other application, select File, Print.
2Click Properties.(IfthereisnoProperties button, click Setup, and then click Properties.)

bPress Menu until you see your user name, and then press Select.

identification number (PIN). As you enter your PIN, asterisks appear on the display.

9Linking trays
If you load the same size and type of print media in more than one tray, 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 it feeds paper from the next linked tray
—tray4.
By linking all five trays, you effectively create a single source with a capacity of 3,500 sheets.
Ifyouloadthesamesizeprintmediaineachtray,makesuretheprintmediaisallthesametypetolink
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.
Note: To link trays loaded with Executive, Legal, JIS B4, or JIS B5 size print media, see

13 Linking 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.
By default, the output bins for the finisher or the mailbox are configured in Mailbox mode. In this mode,
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.
If you prefer, you can change the Configure Bins setting to Link mode. All available bins are then linked
so that when one bin becomes full, the printer sends jobs to the next linked bin.
In Mail Overflow mode (only available if you’ve attached an optional mailbox), the printer automatically
sends jobs to a preassigned overflow bin when the current bin becomes full.
Type Assignment mode 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 print media.
To change the Configure Bins setting:
1Press Menu until you see Paper Menu, and then press Select.
2Press Menu until you see Configure Bins, and then press Select.
Mailbox appears on the second line of the display.
3Press Menu to scroll through the list of available configuration modes.
4When you see the correct configuration mode, press Select to save the mode as the bin
configuration default.
5Press Go to return the printer to the Ready state.
Note: The Select button selects the menu shown on the second line of the display.
For more information, see Configure Bins and Bin <x> Full.

14 Finishing capabilities
Stapling
The optional finisher can staple up to 50 sheets of 20 lb paper.
Staple positions
The finisher can staple print jobs in four positions, as defined by the Staple Job menu item in the
Finishing Menu. If you select Auto, the finisher places the staple based on the feed orientation of the
page. You can also select Front, Back, or Dual.

Stapling and offsetting
The finisher cannot staple
and
offset a print job. If both functions are selected, the printer staples the
job, but does not offset it.
Note: You cannot offset, but stapling can occur in 3 different positions. Based on the
staple position selected, the offset stack is positioned differently in the tray.
The standard bin and finisher bin 2 are capable of accepting offset print jobs.
Staplingandbinusage
Stapled jobs are sent to finisher bin 2.
Finishing and bin linking
The finisher stacks all stapled jobs in bin 2. Offset jobs go to in bin 2 first until it is full and the jobs go
to the standard bin when the bins are linked. If bin 1 and bin 2 are linked and bin 2 is full, the printer
reports that bin 1 is also full even if it is empty. In this case, the printer assumes there is no bin
available to perform the finishing functions requested by the print job because the bin is full. To clear
the message, remove the stack of paper from the bin. The printer can then receive additional stapled
or offset jobs. For more information, see Linking bins.
Hole punching
Select On as the value for the Hole Punch menu item in the Finishing Menu to punch holes along the
edge of all printed output. Select Hole Punch from the printer driver to punch holes only in output for a
specific job.
Bins 1 and 2 are capable of accepting hole punched print jobs.

15 Tips for successful printing
Storing print media
Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.
•Store print media 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.
Avoiding jams
If you select appropriate print media (paper, transparencies, labels, and card stock) for your printer,
you’ll be well on your way to trouble-free printing.
By carefully selecting print media and loading them properly, you should be able to avoid most jams.
See the following for instructions on loading print media:
•Loading trays 1, 2, and 3
•Loading trays 4 and 5
•Loading the multipurpose feeder
•Loading the envelope feeder
If you do experience a paper jam, see Clearing print media jams for instructions on clearing the jam.
The following hints can help you avoid paper jams:
•Use only recommended print media. Refer to the
Card Stock & Label Guide
available on
Lexmark’s Web site at www.lexmark.com 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
.
•Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper.
•Flex, fan, and straighten paper before you load it.
43
•Do not overload the print media sources. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the
maximum height indicated by the labels in the sources.
•Push all trays
firmly
into the printer after loading them.
•Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size print media you have
loaded.
•Do not load print media in a tray while a job is printing by selecting print media from this same
tray. Wait for a Load Tray <x> message before you remove the tray from the printer. After
you reinstall the loaded tray, press Go to continue printing. You may remove another tray and
load it so long as the print job is not selecting the print media from it.
•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 print 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
for alignment instructions.
•Make sure all cables that connect the duplex unit, high capacity feeder, finisher, or mailbox to
the printer are correctly attached. Refer to the
Setup Guide
for more information.
•If a jam should occur, check the operator panel message to locate the correct jam access
doors. See Message maps for more information.
44
16 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.
•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 other network device.
Once you’ve checked each of these possibilities,
turn the printer off and back on
.Thisoftenfixesthe
problem.
If the printer does not respond, check the printer circuit breaker switch. It should be in the On position.
45
17 Solving print quality problems
You may be able to correct many print quality problems by replacing a supply or maintenance item that
has reached the end of its intended life. Check the operator panel for a message about a printer
consumable. See Determining the status of supplies for information about other ways to identify
consumables that need to be replaced.

For tips on avoiding jams, see Avoiding jams.
If you do experience a jam, see the following instructions in this topic to clear the jam and continue
printing.
•Understanding jam messages
•Locating jams with messages
•Clearing jams from the printer
•Clearing jams from the optional duplex unit
•Clearing jams from the optional envelope feeder
•Clearing jams from the optional mailbox
•Clearing jams from the optional finisher
Understanding jam messages
When a jam occurs, the printer displays a two-line 2xx Paper Jam message and stops operating.
Although the location of the jam appears on the second line of the display,
you must clear all paper
from the entire paper path
.PressGo to clear the message and continue printing.
See Paper path for an explanation about areas where you can access jams. Immediately following
Paper path see the illustrations of areas where you can access jams.
Note: If you have an optional finisher attached to your printer, the secondary message
Leave Staple Job in Finisher or Clear Staple Job from Finisher alternates with the
2xx Paper Jam message.
Paper path
The paper path is the route paper travels as it makes its way from the selected paper source through
the printer and into the selected output bin. To clear the paper in the path, start at the paper source the
printer is using for the current job. Open all doors and covers between the source and the selected
output bin. If you are not sure which source the printer is using, start with tray 5, if installed; otherwise,
start with tray 2.
See the following illustrations for a better understanding of the path the paper travels through the
printer and its options. The jam numbers are listed based on location within the paper path.
The doors and covers that give you access to paper in the path when a jam occurs are labeled on the
Message maps.

42 Configuring printer alerts
You can configure the printer several ways to let you know when it requires attention.
Using the Setup Menu
Four menu items in the Setup Menu let you configure printer alerts:
•Alarm Control—Lets you establish whether the printer sounds an alarm when the printer
requires operator intervention.
•Hole Punch Alarm—Lets you specify how the printer responds when the hole punch box
becomes full.
•Staple Alarm—Lets you choose how the printer responds when it is out of staples.
•Toner Alarm—Lets you choose how the printer responds when toner is low.
For each of these menu items, you can select a value or either Off, Single, or Continuous. If you select
Single or Continuous, the printer stops printing, displays a message, and activates the selected alarm
type. If you select Off, the printer displays a message and continues printing pages. When Alarm
Control is set to Off, the alarm does not sound, but printing stops until the interventions are cleared. If
multiple attendance conditions are pending, the alarm only sounds when the first message is
displayed. No additional alarms sound as subsequent attendance conditions arise.
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 printer management utility, indicates when it’s time to replace
supplies and points out actual or potential problems. When a printer needs attention, it alerts you with
a detailed graphic of the printer showing the cause for the alert (for example, an empty paper tray).
Using MarkVision Messenger
MarkVision Messenger lets you create Actions that execute specific commands whenever messages
like Tray x Missing 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, see the drivers CD.

59 Understanding 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 complete listing.
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.
187
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. 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. An example of a character from a bitmapped font is shown in
the following illustration.
188
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.
Scalable
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
Ty p e 1
and
Tr u e Ty p e
scalable fonts. Thousands of different scalable fonts are 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.
189
The following tables list all the fonts resident in your printer. See Printing sample fonts 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.

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
(ormorespecifically,foreach
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 in Downloadable fonts. Refer to the
Technical
Reference
to determine which symbols sets are supported by each font name.
