This chapter covers information about sending a job to print, printing confidential jobs, canceling a print job, printing a menu settings page, a font list, and a directory list. This chapter also provides information on printing folio and statement size media. For tips on paper jam prevention and print media storage, see Avoiding jams or Storing print media.

Sending a job to print

A printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with the printer. When you choose Print from a software application, a window representing the printer driver opens. You can then select the appropriate settings for the specific job you are sending to the printer. 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 dialog 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 supplied with the printer. Updated drivers, as well as a complete description of the driver packages and Lexmark driver support, are available from the Lexmark Web site.

To print a job from a typical Windows application:

1Open the file you want to print.

2From the File menu, select Print.

3Select the correct printer in the dialog. Modify the printer settings as appropriate (such as the pages you want to print or the number of copies).

4Click Properties or Setup to adjust printer settings that were not available on the first screen, and then click OK.

5Click OK or Print to send the job to the selected printer.

Printing from a USB flash memory device

A USB Direct interface is located on the operator panel so you can insert a USB flash memory device and print PDF documents. Printing a document from a USB flash memory device is similar to printing a held job.

For information regarding tested and approved USB flash memory devices, see our Lexmark Web site at http:// support.lexmark.com, and click KnowledgeBase to search for Direct USB printing.

Note the following when using a USB flash memory device with the printer USB Direct Interface:

•USB devices must be compatible with the USB 2.0 standard.

•Hi-Speed USB devices must support the Full-Speed standard as well. Devices only supporting USB low speed capabilities are not supported.

•USB devices must use the FAT file system. Devices formatted with NTFS or any other file system are not supported.

•You cannot print encrypted files or files without printing permissions.
