4 Using color Your printer gives you the power to communicate in color. Color attracts attention, commands respect, and adds value to your printed material or information. Using color increases readership and is read more often than the same material printed in black and white. Color can be used to motivate people and speed the analysis of complex data. When you print on-demand color, you save money.
How we see color Red Green Blue When we see color, we actually see light that is passed through or reflected from an object. What our eyes perceive as visible light are wavelengths. Our eyes are sensitive to three specific wavelengths. They are the colors red, green, and blue. When you view your monitor, you see red, green, and blue light that is projected into your eyes. This is known as additive color. Additive color begins with black and adds red, green, and blue to produce the colors you can see.
Color difference Most software applications today provide us with a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) environment. This helps us develop the look of our document. However, the difference between the additive and subtractive colors may sometimes cause a problem between what you see and what you get. This is due to the difference between additive and subtractive colors. The reason for this lies in the color spectrum of the different devices. Your printer is capable of delivering over 16 million colors.
Managing color Color management systems There are many color management systems on the market today. They range from simple swatchbooks to specially designed and designated color servers. Color Management Systems (CMS) help you match colors across a number of devices, including scanners, monitors, and printers. A CMS ensures what you see at every step of the publishing process matches the printed output.
Translation between color models Translation is the most complex element of a CMS. Because each device is based on a device-dependent color model, such as RGB or CMYK, the range of colors each device supports is different. It is difficult and sometimes impossible to produce a particular color on different devices when each device uses a different color model. Translation requires a device-independent color model. Most color management systems are based on the CIE color space model.
Controlling your printer Your printer driver is designed to provide you with the best quality output for various types of printing needs. However, you may want more control over how your printed document will look. You can control the screening methods, halftone settings, graphics effects, and fill resolution used during the printing of your documents. These setting adjustments can easily be made through your printer driver or operator panel.
A quick overview of the Color settings and their applications are described in the table below: Color setting Screening method Applications Auto* Vivid Off CMYK Black and White Display 2-Color Draft These settings allows you to adjust the printed color to better match the colors of other output devices or standard color systems. To adjust the brightness and saturation of your text and business graphics.
Halftone screens The term halftone screen, refers to the pattern of dots applied to an image. If you look closely at a black and white photograph in a magazine, it appears to contain many shades of gray. If you place the same picture under a magnifying glass, you see that it is actually composed of a number of dots. These dots, also known as pels, may be of varying sizes or varying tones. They may also be the same sized dots applied to a tint of color.
Different printing needs do require different screen frequency settings, for example, offset printing requires a higher setting, whereas newsprint generally requires a lower setting. Your printer default is set to give you the best screen frequency setting for high quality business graphics. Screen angle Note: The only time you can change the screen angle is when the use color option has been deselected. The reason for this is the default angle ensures no color is overprinted by another color.
ceptible white gaps as the printer attempts to overlay the CMY colors. When printing any text (black or colored), we recommend setting your color correction to automatic and your print resolution to 600 dpi. Because colored text is also a composite of two or more colors, you may notice some blurring or distortion in colored text. Color Correction Color correction allows you to modify the color settings used to print your documents.
results. You can access and change this setting through your printer driver color tab or the operator panel color menu. CMYK When you select CMYK as your color correction, the printer expects to receive CMYK color values from your software. You will want to use this setting when attempting to reproduce standard CMYK colors such as Pantone or when printing CMYK images.
2-Color Draft You can select 2-Color Draft to reduce the amount of toner you use when printing color drafts. Selecting 2-Color Draft decreases the amount of toner by using only two colors of toner instead of four colors. Avoiding print quality problems To prevent print quality problems, do not touch the print cartridge photoconductors, the transfer belt, or the fuser rollers. Scratches or fingerprints on any of these surfaces can adversely affect print quality.
transparencies. This increases the fuser temperature and slows the print speed to ensure the best possible transfer of toner to the transparency sheet. For particularly bright colors that project well, we recommend setting Color Correction to Vivid when printing transparencies. Printer drivers The Lexmark drivers that came with your printer support all of the settings described in this chapter. They also offer some additional features that may help you fine-tune your printer output.

Managing memory 5 Printer memory Your printer ships with at least 32MB of memory. To determine the amount of memory currently installed in your printer, select Print Menus from the Utility Menu. The total installed memory appears on the printout. For more information about printing the menu settings page, see page 10. The memory shipped in your printer and the memory options available for your printer use SDRAM DIMM memory technology.
Adding memory Note: Memory options designed for other Lexmark laser printers may not work with your printer. Solving memory problems There are three memory slots in your printer. The maximum amount of usable memory is 384MB. You may add SDRAM DIMM memory cards in any memory combination to suit your needs, however the maximum amount of memory your printer can use is 384MB. Lexmark offers three memory options for your printer, they are 32MB, 64MB and 128MB.
Allocating memory A portion of printer memory is reserved for input buffers that hold print jobs sent from your software application. Your printer has an input buffer for each interface (parallel, serial, network, LocalTalk, or infrared). You can change the amount of memory allocated to each buffer, depending on your system requirements. For more information about using printer menus to allocate memory for each interface, see the description of the various interface menus in Chapter 3.
Flash memory You can add optional flash memory to your printer. If you frequently download fonts, macros, forms, or symbol sets to your printer, you may want to use flash memory storage, rather than RAM. Resources stored in flash memory are not lost when the printer power is turned off. Hard disk If you have a large number of permanent resources you’d like to download to your printer, you may want to install an optional hard disk.
Storing job statistics You can also use an installed hard disk to gather statistics about a specified number of the most recent print jobs. The statistics include whether the job printed with or without errors, the time required to print the job, the size (in bytes) of the job, the requested paper size and paper type, the color settings used, the total number of printed pages, and the number of copies requested.

6 Handling paper Paper sources and output bins Your printer comes equipped with two standard paper sources: a 250-sheet paper tray and the 50-sheet multipurpose feeder. You can load paper in all the paper trays. Transparencies can only be loaded in the multipurpose feeder and tray 1. You can load paper, transparencies, labels, or envelopes in the multipurpose feeder.

Media guidelines Use recommended media (paper, transparencies, envelopes, and labels) for your printer to avoid printing problems. For detailed information about media characteristics, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on the CD provided with your printer. Brief guidelines for choosing paper and other media follow. Paper Note: The use of low quality paper may result in unsatisfactory performance and may degrade print quality.
Letterhead Refer to the illustrations at the left to orient A4 or letter size preprinted paper in the paper trays or the multipurpose feeder. Do not exceed the maximum stack height indicated on the inside of the paper tray. Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 195°C (383°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner or the silicone in the fuser.
Transparencies For best results, use the following Lexmark transparencies with your printer: Recommended transparencies Part number Size 12A5150 Letter 12A5151 A4 These transparencies are designed to provide optimal print quality when used with your printer. Using other transparencies designed for laser printers may yield unpredictable results and possibly cause damage to your printer.
Loading transparencies Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together. To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies. Load transparencies only in the multipurpose feeder or tray 1.
Envelopes You can load up to 9 envelopes in the multipurpose feeder. Load envelopes with the flap side up with the return address positioned to enter the printer last. Do not load stamped envelopes. Refer to the Setup Guide for additional loading instructions. To ensure the best print quality, set Paper Type to Envelope and select the correct envelope size before sending the job to print.
Labels Acceptable labels If you need to print labels, use paper labels designed for laser printers. Use only label sheets that have no gaps between the labels, as shown at left. Try a sample of any labels before purchasing a large quantity. Labels must be able to withstand temperatures of 195°C (383°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. Labels must also withstand 25 psi of pressure.
Storing media Avoiding paper jams Proper storage of media helps ensure trouble-free printing. For best results: • Store 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.
panel, MarkVision, or printer driver before sending multipurpose jobs to print. Loading paper in the trays • If you are printing a job using manual feed, send the job to the printer and then wait for the Load Manual message to appear on the display. Place media in the multipurpose feeder and press Go. • Print transparencies only after printer has fully warmed. The procedures for loading paper in all the trays (the standard 250-sheet tray and the optional 250-sheet trays) are the same.
Note: If you load transparencies in tray 1 or the multipurpose feeder, make sure you change the Paper Type setting to transparencies for that location. If you attached an optional drawer unit, the instructions are the same for loading paper in those trays. However, load only paper in those trays. To load the tray: Note: If you are loading A4 or letter size paper, the tray may already be set up for the appropriate paper size.
The position of the rear paper guide tells the printer the size of the paper in the tray. If the rear paper guide is in the wrong position, you may experience paper feeding problems or incorrect formatting of pages. 6 Set the rear paper guide into the holes on the side and bottom of the paper tray. 7 Squeeze the snap lock on the end of the side paper guide. 8 Lift the side paper guide from the paper tray. 9 Align the side paper guide with the position for the paper size you are loading.
12 Maximum stack height Load the paper with the recommended print side face up. Do not exceed the maximum stack height indicated on the label inside the paper tray. Place the short edge of the paper at the front of the tray. If you’re loading preprinted letterhead, place the top of the page at the front of the tray with the letterhead up. Short edge 13 108 Chapter 6: Loading paper in the trays Slide the paper tray into the printer.
Tray linking If you want to increase your printer’s paper capacity, you can add an optional drawer unit with two 250-sheet paper trays to your printer. If you load the same paper size and paper type in more than one tray, the printer automatically links the trays when one tray is empty, and feeds paper from the other tray. By linking the trays and multipurpose feeder, you can effectively create a single paper source that holds up to 800 sheets.
Using the multipurpose feeder The multipurpose feeder holds 50 sheets of paper, 30 transparencies, 30 sheets of labels, 9 envelopes or 30 card stock sheets. Refer to the Setup Guide for instructions on loading media in the multipurpose feeder. If you want to use the multipurpose feeder like you use other trays, ensure the MP menu item in the Paper Menu is set to Cassette. Note: Do not close the multipurpose feeder while paper or envelopes are in the feeder.
3 Load the media face down and slide the paper guide to the right until it touches the media. If you are loading preprinted letterhead, place the top of the page toward the printer face down. 4 Set the paper type for the type media you are using. You can set the paper type through the paper menu on the operator panel or your printer driver. For more information on paper type values, see “PAPER TYPE” on page 22. Note: Paper removed for clarity.
