Warning—Potential Damage: Never use envelopes with stamps, clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or self‑stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer. From the printer control panel, set the paper size and paper type in the Paper menu to match the paper or specialty media loaded in the multipurpose feeder.
Loading paper and specialty media Linking and unlinking trays When the paper size and paper type for any trays are the same, the printer links those trays. When one linked tray becomes empty, paper feeds from the next linked tray. We recommend giving all unique paper, such as letterhead and different colored plain papers, a different custom type name so that the trays they are in do not automatically link.
Loading paper and specialty media Using the printer control panel From the home screen, navigate to: > Paper Menu > Custom Names Select a custom name, and then type a custom paper type name.

Paper and specialty media guide Paper and specialty media guide Using specialty media Tips on using letterhead • Use letterhead designed specifically for laser printers. • Print samples on the letterhead being considered for use before buying large quantities. • Before loading letterhead, flex, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities. Note: Use only paper label sheets. Vinyl, pharmacy, and two‑sided labels are not supported. For more information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available at http://support.lexmark.com. When printing on labels: •...
Paper and specialty media guide • Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting introduces semi‑liquid and volatile components into the printer. • Use grain short card stock when possible. Paper guidelines Selecting the correct paper or specialty media reduces printing problems. For the best print quality, try a sample of the paper or specialty media before buying large quantities.
Paper and specialty media guide For 60–90‑g/m (16–24‑lb) bond paper, grain long paper is recommended. Fiber content Most high‑quality xerographic paper is made from 100% 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 affect paper handling.
Lexmark consistently tests its printers with recycled paper (20–100% post-consumer waste) and a variety of test paper from around the world, using chamber tests for different temperature and humidity conditions. Lexmark has found no reason to discourage the use of today's recycled office papers, but generally the following property guidelines apply to recycled paper.

Faxing Faxing Note: Fax capabilities may not be available on all printer models. Automatic document feeder (ADF) Scanner glass Use the ADF for multiple‑page documents. Use the scanner glass for single pages, small items (such as postcards or photos), transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings).
Faxing Initial fax setup Many countries and regions require outgoing faxes to contain the following information in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page, or on the first page of the transmission: fax name (identification of the business, other entity, or individual sending the message) and fax number (telephone number of the sending fax machine, business, other entity, or individual).
Faxing Choosing a fax connection Scenario 1: Standard telephone line Setup 1: Printer is connected to a dedicated fax line To connect: Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the port of the printer. Connect the other end of the telephone cable to an active analog wall jack.

Page 113
Faxing Setup 3: Printer is sharing the line with a telephone subscribed to voice mail service To connect: Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the port of the printer. Connect the other end of the telephone cable to an active analog wall jack. Connect the telephone to the port of the printer.
Page 114
Faxing Scenario 2: Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) A Digital Subscriber Line splits your regular telephone line into two channels: voice and Internet. Telephone and fax signals travel through the voice channel, and Internet signals pass through the other channel. This way, you can use the same line for analog voice calls (including faxes) and digital Internet access.
Page 115
