MFP maintenance when printing on card stock
After printing approximately 10,000 pages of card stock (or each time you replace the print
cartridge), complete the following steps to maintain MFP feeding reliability:
1 Print 5 sheets of paper.
2 Wait approximately 5 seconds.
3 Print 5 more sheets of paper.
For detailed information on card stock printing, characteristics, and design, refer to the Card Stock &
Label Guide available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.
Using the duplex feature for printing
Duplex printing (or two-sided printing) lets you print on both sides of a sheet of paper. For paper
sizes that are acceptable for duplex printing, see Duplex unit specifications.
Note: Print duplex jobs only on paper weighing 16–24 lb.
Select Duplex from your print driver to print individual duplex jobs.
Warning: As the MFP processes a duplex print job, it partially ejects a sheet to the standard
output bin, and then pulls the sheet back inside. Do not touch the sheet while it is
partially ejected. Doing so could damage the MFP or cause a jam. Remove pages
only after they have fully exited the MFP to a bin.
For more information on bins, see Using the output bins.
Duplex printing on letterhead
When duplex printing on letterhead from the multipurpose feeder, load it with the logo face down and
entering the MFP last.
When duplex printing on letterhead from the trays, load it with the logo face up and facing toward the
rear of the MFP.
Using Duplex Bind
When you select duplex bind printing in the print driver or Duplex Bind in the Finishing Menu, you
must select either long edge or short edge binding. The purpose of Duplex Bind is to define the way
duplexed pages are bound, and how the printing on the back of the sheet (even-numbered pages) is
oriented in relation to the printing on the front (odd-numbered pages).
