Tips for successful printing
Tips on storing media
Store your media properly. For more information, see Storing media.
Avoiding jams
If you select appropriate paper or speciality media (transparencies, labels, and card stock), you are
assisting in trouble-free printing. See Avoiding jams hints for more information.
Note: We recommend that you try limited samples of any paper or speciality media you
are considering using with the printer before purchasing large quantities.
By selecting appropriate paper or speciality media and loading it properly, you are able to avoid most
jams. See Loading the trays for instructions on loading paper and speciality media into the standard
tray, the optional 250-sheet legal size tray, and the optional 530-sheet tray.
If you experience a jam, see Clearing jams for instructions. For hints to help you avoid jams, see
Avoiding jams hints.
Sending 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
