How to resolve gray background printing on Lexmark Printer?
If a gray background prints: * The Toner Darkness setting may be too dark. Adjust it in the Quality menu. * Adjust the Brightness and Contrast to darker settings. * The photoconductor kit may be defective; replace it.
Why does Lexmark W840 Printer print from the wrong tray?
If a job prints from the wrong tray, or on the wrong paper or specialty media, the operator panel menu settings likely don't match the media loaded in the tray. Ensure the Paper Size and Paper Type specified in the printer driver match the paper in the tray.
Why jobs do not print on my Lexmark W840?
Several factors can prevent jobs from printing: * The printer might not be ready. Ensure 'Ready' or 'Power Saver' is displayed. * The output bin could be full, so remove the paper. * The tray might be empty; load paper into the tray. * You might be using the wrong printer driver or printing to a file. Verify you're using the correct driver for your printer and that it's compatible with your operating system if using a USB Direct interface. * The internal print server may not be set up correctly. Ensure the printer is properly configured for network printing. * The interface cable might be incorrect or not securely connected. Use a recommended cable and ensure it's securely connected.
What causes unexpected page breaks on Lexmark W840 Printer?
Unexpected page breaks can occur if the job has timed out. Increase the Print Timeout value in the Setup Menu.
How to resolve long print times on Lexmark Printer?
If a job takes longer than expected to print: * The job might be too complex. Reduce complexity by using fewer fonts and images, and fewer pages. * Page Protect might be set to On. Turn Page Protect Off in the Setup Menu.
How to fix toner smears on prints from Lexmark W840 Printer?
If toner smears or print comes off the page: * If printing on an uneven surface, change the Paper Weight and Paper Texture settings in the Paper menu. * Verify the print media is within the printer specifications.
How to resolve large jobs not collating on Lexmark Printer?
If large jobs do not collate, it may be due to: * Collate not being set to On. Enable Collation in the Finishing Menu or through the printer driver. Note that setting Collation to Off in the driver overrides the setting in the Finishing Menu. * The job being too complex. Reduce complexity by minimizing fonts, images, and pages. * Insufficient printer memory. Add more memory or a hard disk.
Why is my Lexmark W840 printing toner on the back of the page?
Toner appearing on the back of the printed page means toner is on the transfer roll. To prevent this, avoid loading print media smaller than the job's page size. Open and close the printer's top front cover to run the setup cycle and clean the transfer roll.
