Paper and specialty media guide 42 Paper and specialty media guide Additional information for printing on speciality media may be found in the Card Stock and Label Guide available at http://support.lexmark.com. 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 characteristics The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability.
Paper and specialty media guide 43 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 60–90‑g/m2 (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.
Paper and specialty media guide 44 • Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces. Use papers printed with heat‑resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must be able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidation‑set or oil‑based generally meet these requirements; latex inks might not. When in doubt, contact the paper supplier.

Paper and specialty media guide 48 Tips on using transparencies • Print a test page on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities. • Feed transparencies from the standard tray, or the multipurpose feeder. • Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures up to 185°C (365°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Paper and specialty media guide 49 When printing on labels: • Use labels designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to verify that: – The labels can withstand temperatures up to 240°C (464°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. – Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats can withstand up to 25‑psi (172‑kPa) pressure without delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes.
Paper and specialty media guide 50 • 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.

Use the scanner glass for single-page documents, book pages, small items (such as postcards or photos), transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings). Setting up the printer to fax CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Do not use the fax feature during a lightning storm.
Faxing 72 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 73 Choosing a fax connection Scenario 1: Standard telephone line Setup 1: Printer is connected to a dedicated fax line To connect: 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the telephone cable to an active analog wall jack. Tips for this setup: • You can set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On) or manually (Auto Answer Off).
Faxing 74 Setup 2: Printer is sharing the line with an answering machine Connected to the same telephone wall jack PHONE LINE To connect: 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the 2 Connect the other end of the telephone cable to an active analog wall jack. 3 Connect the answering machine to the port of the printer. port of the printer.
Faxing 75 Connected to different wall jacks PHONE LINE To connect: 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the telephone cable to an active analog wall jack. Tips for this setup: • If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On). • Set the printer to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine.
Faxing 76 Setup 3: Printer is sharing the line with a telephone subscribed to voice mail service 02 To connect: 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the telephone cable to an active analog wall jack. 3 Connect the telephone to the port of the printer. Tips for this setup: • This setup works best if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service.
Faxing 77 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.
Faxing 78 Scenario 3: VoIP telephone service To connect: 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with the printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the VoIP adapter. Note: The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. VoIP providers may charge additional cost for activation of the second phone port. 3 Connect the telephone to the port of the printer.
Faxing 79 Scenario 4: Digital telephone service through a cable provider Setup 1: Printer is connected directly to a cable modem 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with your printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the cable modem. Note: The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. VoIP providers may charge additional cost for activation of the second phone port.
Faxing 80 Setup 2: Printer is connected to a wall jack; cable modem is installed elsewhere in the facility 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with your printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the telephone cable to an active analog telephone wall jack. 3 Connect your analog telephone to the port of the printer.
Faxing 81 If the wall jack or equipment in your facility is not compatible with this type of connection, then you need to use a telephone adapter. An adapter for your country or region may not come with your printer, and you may need to purchase it separately. There may be an adapter plug installed in the port of the printer. If you are using a telephone adapter or a facility port of the printer.
Faxing 82 Connecting the printer to a non‑RJ‑11 wall jack LINE EXT 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came with printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ‑11 adapter, and then connect the adapter to the wall jack. 3 If you want to connect another device (telephone or answering machine) to the same wall jack, and if the device has a non‑RJ‑11 connector, then connect it directly to the telephone adapter.
Faxing 83 Connecting the printer to a wall jack in Germany The German wall jack has two kinds of ports. The N ports are for fax machines, modems, and answering machines. The F port is for telephones. N F N Connect the printer to any of the N ports.
Faxing 84 1 Connect one end of the telephone cable that came the printer to the port of the printer. 2 Connect the other end of the telephone cable to the RJ‑11 adapter, and then connect the adapter to an N port. 3 If you want to connect a telephone and answering machine to the same wall jack, then connect the devices as shown. Note: Do not remove the adapter plug from the telephone system.
Faxing 85 Setting the date and time You can set the date and time so that they are printed on every fax you send.
