Paper does not feed properly.

Make sure you’re using recommended media. If you are using 16 lb paper, make

 

sure it has been placed in tray 1 or the multipurpose only. Do not use 16 lb

 

paper with the duplex unit.

 

 

 

Make sure the adjustable guides in the tray or multipurpose feeder are adjusted

 

properly for the media you loaded.

 

 

 

Make sure the stack of media does not exceed the maximum stack height

 

indicated on the tray or feeder.

 

 

The printer does not recognize a

paper size loaded in the tray.

You must decide which paper sizes you want your trays to support.

 

You can load the paper sizes your trays don’t support in the multipurpose feeder.

 

When using the multipurpose feeder, always select the correct paper size from

 

the operator panel or from the driver.

 

 

The printer seems slow to print.

If you set Print Resolution to 1200 x 1200 dpi, it may take longer to print some

 

complex jobs or jobs formatted for larger paper. Select the 600 dpi setting if you

 

need the job to print faster. See page 19 or page 84 for more information.

 

 

 

Make sure you select the appropriate Paper Type setting before sending a job to

 

print.

 

 

 

If you set the Paper Type to Transparency, the printer increases the fuser

 

temperature and slows printing to improve the print quality. After printing on this

 

media, the printer requires additional time to cool the fuser after you select

 

another Paper Type setting (such as Plain Paper or Letterhead).

 

 

 

Reduce the complexity of your print job. Eliminating the number and size of

 

fonts, the number and complexity of images, and the number of pages in a job

 

may increase print speed.

 

 

 

Set Page Protect Off from the Setup Menu. See page 41 for more information.

 

 

You can’t collate a large job.

Reduce the complexity of your print job. Eliminate the number and size of fonts,

 

the number and complexity of images, and the number of pages.

 

 

 

Add more printer memory. See page 89 or refer to the Setup Guide for more

 

information.

 

 

 

Install an optional hard disk in your printer. See page 92, or refer to the Setup

 

Guide for more information.

 

 

You get unexpected page breaks.

Check the Print Timeout setting in the Setup Menu. Increase the value.

 

 

Transparencies curl excessively.

Make sure you’re using the recommended Lexmark transparencies. See

 

page 100 for more information.
