Introducing your printer
text_image
Multipurpose feeder Duplex unit output bin, printer output bin 250-sheet standard tray Duplex unit Optional drawer unitYour Lexmark Optrat TM C710 color printer is the ideal printer for presentations, business graphics, line art, and text. Your printer uses laser diode electrophotographic technology to deliver remarkable quality print images and text. You can print up to 16 pages per minute (ppm) for monochrome print jobs and 3 ppm for color print jobs. You can use your printer as a shared network or desktop printer.
A variety of connectivity options makes your printer an excellent choice for all types of system environments. You can install up to three internal adapters to support network configurations requiring Ethernet, Token-Ring, LocalTalk, serial, or additional parallel ports. You can even attach a class 1-fax modem to the serial port and send faxes directly to your printer.
Your printer also offers flexible paper handling. It supports a variety of paper sizes and has a standard multipurpose feeder that makes it easy to print envelopes, transparencies, paper, labels, and non-standard size paper.
You can add an optional duplex unit so you can print on both sides of the paper. You can also add an optional drawer unit consisting of two 250-sheet trays that can increase the printer's total paper capacity to 800 sheets.
Your Lexmark printer software enables you to easily master advanced color management techniques such as levels of brightness, contrast, and saturation. You can easily print professional color graphics, exceptional gray-scale images, or razor sharp black printing for text and detailed line art.
The modular design of your printer lets you perform routine printer maintenance procedures without the aid of a service technician. This includes replacing the photoconductor, transfer belt, coating roll, fuser, and all four color print cartridges.
Print speed
Your printer can print four-color and mono jobs at up to 16 ppm for monochrome print jobs and 3 ppm for color print jobs. If you install an optional duplex unit, you can print duplex jobs at up to 5 ppm for monochrome print jobs and 1.5 ppm for color print jobs. Print speed varies depending on specific characteristics of the job, such as the size of the formatted page, the number of fonts, the number and complexity of images and graphics, and so on.
Memory
Your printer ships with at least 32MB of standard printer memory for fast, efficient processing of color jobs. (Some models and Ethernet equipped printers may ship with more memory.) If you typically print large, complex jobs, you can install optional memory cards to increase the total usable memory to a maximum of 384MB.
In addition, you can install an optional hard disk for storing downloaded resources, job statistics, and for spooling or collating print jobs.
Color quality
Your printer is set to provide you with high quality business graphics. It also has several print quality settings to accommodate your many printing needs. These settings can provide you with superb quality presentation or draft printouts.
Printer drivers
The printer drivers included on the Driver, MarkVision, and Utilities CD shipped with your new printer were specially designed for this printer. Using these printer drivers gives you the greatest control over the features and functions of your printer. Your printer drivers have been designed to work efficiently with your printer and provide you with the best possible print quality. Using these print drivers is fast and easy.
MarkVision
The MarkVision™ printer utility, included on the Driver, MarkVision, and Utilities CD shipped with your printer, provides numerous printer management and color management tools you can access directly from your computer. MarkVision can display a graphic of your printer indicating the options installed and the location of any printer problems. If your printer is attached to a network and located some distance from your workstation, you can view printer status and change printer settings without leaving your desk. You can also use MarkVision to gather statistics about the jobs you print, or download resources.
Paper handling
Your printer comes equipped with a 250-sheet paper tray and a 50 sheet multipurpose feeder. The multipurpose feeder lets you load envelopes, transparencies, paper, labels, or card stock for a variety of print jobs. To increase paper feeding capacity, you can add an optional drawer unit consisting of two 250-sheet trays. These paper handling options allow you to use four different types of media or link the trays together and use the same paper throughout to reduce the number of times you reload paper.

Using printer drivers
This chapter contains information about your printer driver settings so you can use them to control printer functions.
Using the printer drivers supplied with your printer gives you the greatest control over the features and functions of your printer. These printer drivers have been designed to work efficiently with your printer and provide you with the best possible print quality. Using and accessing these drivers from your computer is fast, easy, and convenient.
Note: Printer settings selected from a software application or driver override default settings selected from the operator panel.
Most Windows software packages let you modify common printer settings through the use of their print dialog box. To modify your printer settings this way, select File from the menu bar and Print or Printer Settings. This opens a print or printer settings window that allows you to modify some or all of the many printer settings.
Many software printer dialog boxes have a printer setup or printer properties button. Select this button to access your printer driver window. Changing the printer settings through the software package or printer driver is the fastest and most convenient method for controlling your printer.
Using the printer driver window lets you print a test page that describes your printer driver and port settings. You can also use it to control things such as user identification pages, paper size, and overlays. If you encounter an item on the printer driver window you are not sure about, use your online Help for the latest information on that feature.
Lexmark confidential
The method to access your printer driver window depends on your operating system, personal preferences, and how your operating system is configured.
If you encounter a printer feature you cannot control from the printer driver or application software, use the printer operator panel or the remote operator panel available from MarkVision. Changing a printer setting from the operator panel or from MarkVision makes that setting the user default for all subsequent jobs sent to the printer. You can override these operator panel settings through the software application or printer driver. In most cases, settings you change from your software application or printer driver apply only to the job you are preparing to send to the printer.

Changing printer settings
This chapter contains details about printer settings you can use to control printer functions. This chapter is organized according to the structure of the printer operator panel menus. You can also change many of these settings from your application, a Lexmark printer driver, or from the MarkVision printer utility.
Note: Printer settings selected from a software application or driver override default settings selected from the operator panel.
If there is a printer feature you cannot control from the application or printer driver, use the printer operator panel or the remote operator panel available from MarkVision. Changing a printer setting from the operator panel or from MarkVision makes that setting the user default for all subsequent jobs sent to the printer. In most cases, settings you change from the application or driver apply only to the job you are preparing to send to the printer.

MarkVision's remote operator panel
The MarkVision utility has a remote operator panel that displays an exact replica of the printer operator panel on your computer screen. You can use the remote operator panel to check printer status and change printer settings just as you would on the actual printer operator panel. If the printer is located some distance from your computer, it may be more convenient to use the remote operator panel on your computer.
In addition to the remote operator panel, some versions of MarkVision also provide a way to view many of the menu items for one menu on a single screen. If you need to make several changes to settings in the Paper Menu, for example, you may find it easier to make those changes when you can see all of the menu items and their available values at one time. Using this option eliminates the time required to scroll through the various menu items and values when using the operator panel and its two-line display.
For additional information about MarkVision, see page 189.
Menus
A number of menus are available to make it easy for you to change printer settings. The diagram on page 16 shows all of the menus and items available under each menu. Items in each menu and the values you can select are described in more detail in the tables beginning on page 17.
Some of the menu items or values are displayed only if a specific option is installed on the printer. Other menu items may only be effective for a particular printer language. You can select these values at any time, but they only affect printer function when you have the optional equipment or the specified printer language.
Note: An asterisk (*) next to a value in the tables in this book indicates the original factory settings. Factory defaults may differ for different countries (for example, letter/A4 paper).
An asterisk (*) next to a value on the operator panel indicates the current setting. When you select a new setting, the asterisk moves to the selected setting to identify it as the current user default. These settings remain active until new ones are selected or the factory defaults are restored.
Printing current menu settings
Note: Before printing the menu settings page, ensure the selected paper source holds A4, B5, letter, or legal size paper.
You can print a list of the current user default settings at any time.

Adding memory
There are three memory slots in your printer. The maximum amount of usable memory is 384MB. You may add SDRAM DIMM memory cards in any memory combination to suit your needs, however the maximum amount of memory your printer can use is 384MB.
Note: Memory options designed for other Lexmark laser printers may not work with your printer.
Lexmark offers three memory options for your printer, they are 32MB, 64MB and 128MB. For memory installation instructions, refer to the Setup Guide.
Additional memory lets the printer print complex jobs, collate large jobs, and operate more efficiently. You can also download fonts and macros to printer memory. However, this type of memory is temporary storage: anything stored in printer memory is lost when the printer power is turned off.
Solving memory problems
If your printer encounters a memory shortage when trying to print a job, it may post an error message (37 Insufficient Collation Area, 37 Insufficient Defrag Memory 38 Memory Full, or 39 Complex Page), depending on the task it is trying to complete. Refer to “Understanding printer messages” on page 147 for more information about these and other messages.
If these messages appear frequently, you probably want to install additional printer memory. If they only occur rarely, try reducing the:
• Number of pages in the job
• Number of fonts or graphics on each page
- Size of scalable fonts used in the document
• Number of fonts or macros downloaded to printer memory
Additional things you may try are to set the:
- Print resolution to 600 dpi
• Page Protect On from the Setup Menu
• Resource Save Off from the Setup Menu
Allocating memory
A portion of printer memory is reserved for input buffers that hold print jobs sent from your software application. Your printer has an input buffer for each interface (parallel, serial, network, LocalTalk, or infrared). You can change the amount of memory allocated to each buffer, depending on your system requirements. For more information about using printer menus to allocate memory for each interface, see the description of the various interface menus in Chapter 3.
The size of the input buffers varies with the amount of memory installed in the printer. The following table lists the default size of the input buffers for each interface. If your printer is not using a particular interface, the allocated memory is reserved for job processing.
For more detailed information about these input buffers and memory allocation, refer to the Technical Reference.
Default input buffer size
| Installedmemory Each | parallel port Each | serial port Each network port LocalTalk | port Infrared port | |
| 32MB 192K | ^1 | 150K 1MB 1MB 150K | ||
| 64MB128MB | 2MB | 300K 2MB 2MB 300K | ||
| ^1 1MB allocated to standard parallel port if no optional adapter is installed. | ||||
Flash memory
You can add optional flash memory to your printer. If you frequently download fonts, macros, forms, or symbol sets to your printer, you may want to use flash memory storage, rather than RAM. Resources stored in flash memory are not lost when the printer power is turned off.
Hard disk
If you have a large number of permanent resources you'd like to download to your printer, you may want to install an optional hard disk. The hard disk works much like flash memory, but has a larger storage capacity for downloaded resources. You can also use the hard disk for job buffering, collating large jobs, and gathering job statistics.
For instructions on installing a hard disk, refer to the printer Setup Guide.
Job buffering
You can partition a portion of the hard disk for job buffering. In some cases, spooling jobs to a disk may decrease the time required for the printer to accept the print job data from the application. The job also remains stored on the disk until the entire job prints. Since disk memory acts as permanent storage, that means your jobs remain secure in the event of a power failure.
You can enable or disable job buffering for each of the available printer ports (parallel, serial, fax, network, infrared, and LocalTalk).
1 Using the printer operator panel or MarkVision, select Job Buffer Size under the Setup Menu.
2 Set the percentage of the disk you want to use for job buffering.
3 Press Go to return the printer to ready.
Collating jobs
If you are collating a large job and the printer memory is not sufficient, the printer automatically uses storage area available on an installed hard disk to finish collating the job. See page 28 for more information about collation.
Storing job statistics
You can also use an installed hard disk to gather statistics about a specified number of the most recent print jobs. The statistics include whether the job printed with or without errors, the time required to print the job, the size (in bytes) of the job, the requested paper size and paper type, the color settings used, the total number of printed pages, and the number of copies requested.
See page 43 for more information about setting up your printer to gather job statistics and printing the accumulated data. Or, if you're using the MarkVision utility, refer to the MarkVision online Help or the MarkVision documentation on the printer CD.
Managing resources downloaded to flash or disk
Use the MarkVision utility to manage the resources you store on flash memory or hard disk. MarkVision offers tools for setting:
- The download target, formatting the storage devices
- Downloading resources
- Deleting files
- Moving files from one storage device to the other on the same printer or from one printer to another printer
- Printing a directory listing the resources stored on a device
- Read/write and write passwords to protect resources stored on flash memory, hard disk or to protect individual files
For more information about the specific resource management tools that MarkVision offers, see “Introducing MarkVision” on page 190 or refer to the MarkVision online Help. For more information about setting passwords, refer to the Technical Reference.
6 Handling paper
Paper sources and output bins
text_image
Multipurpose feeder Top output bin 250-sheet standard tray250-sheet optional trays
Your printer comes equipped with two standard paper sources: a 250-sheet paper tray and the 50-sheet multipurpose feeder. You can load paper in all the paper trays. Transparencies can only be loaded in the multipurpose feeder and tray 1. You can load paper, transparencies, labels, or envelopes in the multipurpose feeder.
For additional paper capacity, you can attach an optional drawer unit with two 250-sheet trays to your printer. When linked, you can then effectively create a single 800-sheet source. See page 109 for more information about tray linking. Refer to the Setup Guide for information about installing the optional drawer unit.
The table on page 96 details the types and quantities of media you can load in each of the printer's paper sources. For more information about selecting specific media, see “Media guidelines” on page 98.
Printed output is placed face down in the output bin located on the top of your printer.

Paper sizes
Your printer supports a wide variety of paper sizes. See the “Paper size specifications” table on page 97 for details. Refer to page 99 for illustrations of proper paper orientation.
The printer determines the size paper loaded in the trays by the position of the rear paper guide. Since the printer can only recognize letter, A4, B5, executive and legal size paper, you must decide which paper sizes you want your trays to support. Then choose the appropriate setting from the Size Detection menu item. You can still load the paper sizes you don't select in the multipurpose feeder.
The following tables list the paper and envelope sizes your printer supports.
Paper size specifications
| Size Dimensions | Print speed (ppm B&W/ Color) ^1 | |
| B5 182 x 257 mm 16/3 | ||
| A4 210 x 297 mm 16/3 | ||

Media guidelines
Use recommended media (paper, transparencies, envelopes, and labels) for your printer to avoid printing problems. For detailed information about media characteristics, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on the CD provided with your printer. Brief guidelines for choosing paper and other media follow.
Paper
Note: The use of low quality paper may result in unsatisfactory performance and may degrade print quality.
Note: If you use 16 lb paper, it must be placed only in tray 1 or the multipurpose feeder. Do not place 16 lb paper in tray 2 or 3. Do not use 16 lb paper with the duplex unit.
When printing photographic quality images, use a high quality laser printer paper. We highly recommend the following papers for optimum results:
- Hammermill Laser Print 90g / m^2 (24 lb)
• Xerox Image Series LX Paper
For printing text and typical business graphics, you may find 75 g/m ^2 (20 lb) paper designed for use with laser printers or photocopiers produces acceptable print quality. Always try a sample of any paper before buying large quantities.
Before loading paper, note the recommended print side identified on the paper package. Load paper with the recommended print side face up in the paper trays and face down in the multi-purpose feeder. Refer to the Setup Guide for complete paper loading instructions.
The following papers are not recommended for use with your printer:
• Paper with a large cotton content
- Paper with a rough or heavily textured surface
• Coated papers, such as erasable bond
- Preprinted papers manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer
• Paper designed for inkjets
- Multiple-part forms
- Synthetic papers
- Thermal papers
• Recycled paper having a weight less than 20 lb (75 g/m ^2 )
Letterhead
natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with an inset showing a close-up view of a rectangular housing (no text or symbols)Stack height indicator
Refer to the illustrations at the left to orient A4 or letter size preprinted paper in the paper trays or the multipurpose feeder.
Do not exceed the maximum stack height indicated on the inside of the paper tray.
Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 195°C (383°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner or the silicone in the fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements. Latex inks may melt.
If you're loading preprinted letterhead in the trays, place the top of the page at the front of the tray with the letterhead up. If you are loading preprinted letterhead in the multipurpose feeder, place the top of the page toward the printer with the letterhead down.
natural_image
Line drawing of a printer with paper feed and paper holder (no text or symbols)Transparencies
For best results, use the following Lexmark transparencies with your printer:
Recommended transparencies
| Part number Size | |
| 12A5150 Letter | |
| 12A5151 A4 |
These transparencies are designed to provide optimal print quality when used with your printer. Using other transparencies designed for laser printers may yield unpredictable results and possibly cause damage to your printer.
Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 180^ C ( 365^ F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
To order transparencies in the U.S., call 1-800-438-2468. In other countries, see the table on page 114 for a listing of phone numbers.
Changing the Paper Type
Always set the Paper Type to Transparency when printing transparencies. The printer will adjust the fuser temperature and engine speed to ensure the best possible print quality. When you print transparencies, you will experience a slight delay before printing starts as the printer warms the fuser to the higher temperature. Black and white transparencies print at approximately 8 ppm and color transparencies print at approximately 1.8 ppm.
Loading transparencies
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together. To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.
Load transparencies only in the multipurpose feeder or tray 1.
Envelopes
You can load up to 9 envelopes in the multipurpose feeder. Load envelopes with the flap side up with the return address positioned to enter the printer last. Do not load stamped envelopes. Refer to the Setup Guide for additional loading instructions.
To ensure the best print quality, set Paper Type to Envelope and select the correct envelope size before sending the job to print.
When printing on envelopes:
- Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities.
-
Use envelopes made from 90 to 105g / m^2 (24 to 28 lb) bond paper. For best performance and fewer paper jams, do not use envelopes that:
-
Have excessive curl
- Are stuck together
- Are damaged in any way
- Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
- Use metal clasps or string ties
- Have postage stamps attached
- Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
- Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 195^ (383°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
- Adjust the left paper guide to fit the envelope width.
Labels
Acceptable labels
natural_image
Blank grid layout with no text, numbers, or symbolsUnacceptable labels
natural_image
Grid of empty rectangular boxes arranged in 4 rows and 5 columns (no text or symbols)If you need to print labels, use paper labels designed for laser printers. Use only label sheets that have no gaps between the labels, as shown at left. Try a sample of any labels before purchasing a large quantity.
Labels must be able to withstand temperatures of 195^ C ( 383^ F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. Labels must also withstand 25 psi of pressure. For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide on the printer CD.
Only feed labels from the multipurpose feeder. Do not load labels in the trays. Refer to the Setup Guide for loading instructions.
When printing on labels:
- Use only paper labels. Do not use vinyl labels.
- Do not print a large number of labels consecutively.
- Do not use labels that have adhesive exposed on the sheets.
- Do not use labels that have coating or sizing applied to make the labels liquid-resistant.
- From the operator panel or from MarkVision, set the Paper Type to Labels.
Card stock
Note: Load card stock in the multipurpose feeder only. Do not load more than 30 sheets of card stock into the multipurpose feeder. Loading more than 30 sheets of card stock or using the wrong paper source may cause paper jams or a failure to feed.
You can load a small quantity of heavier paper in the multipurpose feeder. The properties of the card stock you choose—such as the orientation of the paper fibers, moisture content, thickness, and texture—can affect the print quality. For for optimum results, we recommend using:
• Springhill Index Plus 90 lb card stock
For more information on card stock your printer supports, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide on the printer CD.
Always set the Paper Type to Card Stock when printing on heavier paper. The printer then adjusts the fuser temperature and engine speed to ensure the best print quality.
Storing media
Proper storage of media helps ensure trouble-free printing. For best results:
- Store media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21^ (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%.
- Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.
- If you store individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.
- Do not place anything on top of paper packages.
Avoiding paper jams
If you follow the “Media guidelines” on page 98, you’re well on your way to trouble-free printing. If you do experience a paper jam, see page 168 for instructions on clearing the jam.
Here are a few reminders to avoid paper jams:
- Ensure paper guides in trays are properly positioned for the size paper you have loaded.
- Load only standard-size paper in the trays.
- To load paper in a tray while a job is printing, press the operator panel Stop button and wait for the printer motors to idle. Remove tray from printer. Load paper and reinstall tray. Press Go to continue printing.
- Use only recommended media. See page 98 for more information.
- Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper.
- Flex and straighten paper before loading.
- Do not overload paper trays. Make sure paper stack does not exceed maximum height indicator located inside the paper tray. Do not exceed the maximum recommended media amounts for media placed in the multipurpose feeder.
- The multipurpose feeder does not have size sensing. Select the correct source and paper size from the operator
panel, MarkVision, or printer driver before sending multi-purpose jobs to print.
- If you are printing a job using manual feed, send the job to the printer and then wait for the Load Manual message to appear on the display. Place media in the multipurpose feeder and press Go.
- Print transparencies only after printer has fully warmed.
Loading paper in the trays
The procedures for loading paper in all the trays (the standard 250-sheet tray and the optional 250-sheet trays) are the same. Refer to the Setup Guide for detailed instructions.
The printer lets you know when you need to load paper in the trays. If a tray has less than 50 sheets of paper, the
Supplies status message appears on the display. Press Menu> or <Menu to open Supplies Menu. Scroll through the list of supplies that need attention. The menu indicates whether a tray is missing, low, or empty.
When you change the paper in the tray, make sure the paper guides are in the correct positions. The position of the rear paper guide informs the printer of the size paper loaded in the tray. Feeding paper when the rear paper guide is not in the correct position may result in misfeeds or paper jams.
If you load a different type of media, change the Paper Type setting in the Paper Menu. Selecting the correct paper type guarantees optimal print quality for that media. See “Media guidelines” on page 98 for information about the changes the printer makes for specific media. For more information about changing the Paper Type setting, see page 22 or refer to the Setup Guide.
The paper size and the paper type also must be set correctly for tray linking to work as expected. See page 109 for more information about tray linking.
Note: Do not place paper into the duplex unit tray.
Note: If you load transparencies in tray 1 or the multipurpose feeder, make sure you change the Paper Type setting to transparencies for that location.

Tray linking
If you want to increase your printer's paper capacity, you can add an optional drawer unit with two 250-sheet paper trays to your printer. If you load the same paper size and paper type in more than one tray, the printer automatically links the trays when one tray is empty, and feeds paper from the other tray. By linking the trays and multipurpose feeder, you can effectively create a single paper source that holds up to 800 sheets.
To initiate tray linking:
1 Load paper of the same size and type in all the trays you want to link.
2 Make sure the rear paper guide is set to the proper position for the paper size you have loaded.
The position of the rear paper guide informs the printer of the paper size loaded in the tray.
If you want to link the multipurpose feeder to a tray, select the appropriate MP Feeder Size setting from the Paper Size Menu.
3 Select the same Paper Type setting for all sources.
See page 22 or refer to the Setup Guide for more information about changing the Paper Type setting.
To disable tray linking, change the Paper Type setting for one or more of the trays to a Custom Type setting. See page 22 for more information.
Using the multipurpose feeder
The multipurpose feeder holds 50 sheets of paper, 30 transparencies, 30 sheets of labels, 9 envelopes or 30 card stock sheets. Refer to the Setup Guide for instructions on loading media in the multipurpose feeder.
If you want to use the multipurpose feeder like you use other trays, ensure the MP menu item in the Paper Menu is set to Cassette.
Note: Do not close the multi-purpose feeder while paper or envelopes are in the feeder.
You can also use the multipurpose feeder to manually feed a single sheet or envelope.
To load paper in the multipurpose feeder:
1 Pull the front of the multipurpose feeder down.

Printing SUPPLIES 1 Menu 2 Select 3 Return 4 Go 5 Stop 6Your printer displays Supplies on the second line of the operator panel display when there are any supplies that need attention. Press Menu> or
- The printer cable is securely attached to the printer and the host computer.
- The power cord is plugged into the printer and a properly grounded electrical outlet.
- The printer is turned on.
- The electrical outlet is not turned off by any switch or breaker.
- The printer's cartridge, fuser, and front covers are completely closed.
- All printer options are properly installed.
Once you've checked each of these possibilities, turn the printer off and back on. This often fixes the problem.
If a message appears on the operator panel display, see page 147 for more information. If the message indicates the printer has a paper jam, turn to “Clearing printer paper jams” on page 168.
If you are having trouble determining the source of the problem, refer to the tables beginning on page 161. They identify some printing problems and offer suggestions for solving them.
Theory of operation
text_image
Carousel Print cartridge Second transfer roller Fuser First transfer point Second transfer pointYour laser printer is a very complex machine, but the general process that makes your image appear can be easily understood. By understanding how your printer operates, you can understand why problems occur and how to correct or prevent them. There are many components that make your printer work, however, the carousel, print cartridge, transfer belt, second transfer roller, and fuser will help you understand the basic process.
The information you send to your printer is changed into a laser-emitted signal. This signal is projected onto a mirror inside the print cartridge carousel. The image is then bounced off the mirror and onto the photoconductor (the green tube in your print cartridge). The photoconductor becomes electrically charged by the laser signal. The positively charged photoconductor pulls toner from the toner reservoir inside the print cartridge onto the photoconductor. As the carousel rotates, the photoconductor meets the transfer belt.
The transfer belt has a uniformly negative charge on it. When the transfer belt and photoconductor meet, the transfer belt pulls the electrically positive charged toner from the photoconductor onto the transfer belt. As the transfer belt rotates toward the front of the printer, the paper travels up the paper path to meet your image. The paper and toner image on the transfer belt meet at the second transfer roller located on the inside of the front cover. The second transfer roller has a stronger uniform negatively charged field than the transfer belt. The positively charged toner image on the transfer belt is pulled from the transfer belt into the paper by the second transfer roller.
The paper travels up the paper path to meet the fuser. The fuser uses heat and pressure to make toner adhere to the paper. The result of these components working together is the sharp laser image you want.
To get the best possible output, use the correct media thickness and type. The media recommended by Lexmark provides the best print quality.
Understanding printer messages
Your printer displays three types of messages: status messages, attendance messages, and service messages. Status messages provide information about the current state of the printer. They require no action on your part. Attendance messages alert you to printer problems that require your intervention. Service messages also alert you to problems that require intervention. However the printer will stop printing and the errors are non-recoverable. It may be possible to power the printer off and back on to temporarily recover from the service message error condition.
A table listing the status messages follows. See “Attendance messages” on page 150 for a listing of the attendance messages and what you need to do to respond to them. See “Service messages” on page 158 for a listing of the service messages and what you need to do to correct them.

Centralized setup
MarkVision lets you set up several printers on a network without leaving your workstation.
Printer configuration. MarkVision's Quick Setup function lets you configure multiple printers simultaneously. Simply use MarkVision to set up one printer, save the settings into a file, and send that file to all the other printers you want to update.
Network adapter firmware setup. When new firmware is available for the network adapters installed in your printers, use MarkVision to upgrade all adapters from your workstation.
MarkVision network installation. Install MarkVision on a shared network drive and users with access to the drive can install MarkVision on their workstation.
MarkVision for intranets. If you install MarkVision for intranets with a web server, your users can run MarkVision directly from the web site.
Uninstaller for MarkVision. Use the uninstaller whenever you need to remove the MarkVision utility from a workstation.
natural_image
Simple line drawing of a laptop with a box icon on screen (no text or symbols)Remote monitoring
Use MarkVision to monitor printer status directly from your workstation.
Visual status. Network users can determine the current status for each printer and see a graphic of the options installed on each printer. With this information, the user can then easily identify the printer best suited for a particular print job.
Alerts. Unlike other network printer management software, MarkVision's alert-driven architecture lets you actively monitor the status of multiple printers on a real-time basis without polling. If an error occurs on a printer attached to your network, MarkVision immediately provides a visual and audible alert.
When minimized on your screen, the MarkVision icon flashes to let you know there is a problem with a printer. You can maximize the window to see a graphic of the printer and detailed information about the problem.
You can customize the alerts for each printer, choosing which alerts the user and the network administrator receive, and whether the alerts are visual, simple sounds, or spoken words. You can also identify which printers on a network you are responsible for monitoring, and receive information only about those specific printers.
MarkVision status window. MarkVision's status window provides quick and easy access to information and management tools you can use to increase your productivity. This status window provides a quick visual image of your printer and the remote operator panel. The MarkVision status window will also display any warning or error conditions that exist on your printer.
You can find out general information such as the printer serial number, the amount of RAM installed and other features you have on your printer through the MarkVision status window.
Remote operator panel. MarkVision's remote operator panel provides an exact replica of the selected printer's operator panel. The menus and messages appear just as
text_image
Diagram showing a printer, printer, and computer monitor connected to a paper airplane with grid layoutthey do on the printer display. You can then use the operator panel buttons to clear errors or step through the menus and change printer settings.
Printer management
The tabs in the MarkVision window that group related printer settings, as well as the remote operator panel, make it easy to view and change printer default settings. If necessary, you can use MarkVision to set up passwords that control who has authority to change these settings.
You can also use MarkVision to collect data about printer usage and printer hardware so you can better manage workloads and maintain an up-to-date printer inventory.
Custom media names. Use MarkVision to personalize names for different media you use with your printer. Network users can then easily select the correct paper source simply by selecting the custom name of the media the job requires.
Customized user accounts. Use MarkVision to customize your user accounts on your intranet. Administrators can easily setup and manage all printer user accounts on their intranet servers through MarkVision
Job statistics. MarkVision can collect data about individual printers or network printer activity, including user names, job duration, printer capabilities used, number of pages printed, and problems encountered. You can then print the job statistics data file, or import the data into a database application to generate the reports you need.
Printer map. You can use MarkVision to identify printers on your intranet servers. MarkVision will provide a printer map of all your printers located on your intranet server.
Printer Grouping. MarkVision can allow you to manage printer grouping on your intranet servers. MarkVision lets you control group access to printers you select and form into a group.
Printer inventory. MarkVision can collect information about the printers on your network and print a report listing the printer models, serial numbers, code versions, and installed options. You can save the report in a comma delimited file or as formatted output.
When you gather inventory information about the printers on a network, you can create a MIF file for each printer's data. You can then import the MIF files into various network management tools to create reports that may help with asset management and other tasks. The MIF file format is based on the standard layout approved by the Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF).
Property tag support. Use MarkVision to define company-specific information about each printer on a network, such as a unique printer name, the name of the person using the printer, the location of the printer, and so on. This information is available when you request a printer inventory from MarkVision.
Resource management. MarkVision provides a directory of all the fonts, overlays, and forms stored in flash memory or disk. The directory also lists the amount of memory available for each storage device. You can use MarkVision to delete, move, or copy files from one storage device to another on the same printer, or from one printer to another. In addition, you can use MarkVision to password protect resources on the storage devices.
Printer and network adapter password control. If you have MarkVision installed in a network environment without built-in security, such as TCP/IP, you can use MarkVision to set up printer and network adapter passwords. The network administrator may want to assign a password to the printer or to the network adapter to restrict the ability to change adapter or printer settings from MarkVision. Passwords can be set up for specific users and for specific printers. This security function does not override existing network security functions.
If your network does have built-in security, MarkVision has access to the logon authority granted to each LAN user within the network operating system. MarkVision
flowchart

A --> C["2"]
A --> D["3"]
A --> E["4"]
honors this logon authority when granting access to MarkVision functions.
MarkVision for intranets has a built in administrator and user account system for security.
Job management
Use MarkVision to manage jobs in the queue.
Job queue management. You can use MarkVision to view, reorder, cancel, and release print jobs in server queues.
Print buffer management. You can also use MarkVision to view and cancel print jobs already stored in the print buffer.
Job buffering. If you have an optional hard disk installed in any of your printers, you can use MarkVision to designate a percentage of disk space for job buffering. You can enable or disable job buffering for each of the available interface ports (parallel, serial, network, LocalTalk, or infrared).
Job buffering allows the printer to remain busy even if the host computer, network connection, or printer server is down. Jobs buffered to disk are retained even if the power supply to the printer is interrupted.

Bitmapped fonts
The following bitmapped fonts are resident for PCL emulation only:
Line Printer 16
POSTNET Barcode
Symbol Sets
A symbol set is the collection of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and special characters available in the font you select. Symbol sets support the requirements for different languages or specific applications, such as math symbols used for scientific text.
In PCL 6 emulation, a symbol set also defines which character will print for each key on the keyboard (or more specifically, for each code point). Some applications require different characters at some code points. To support multiple applications and languages, your printer has 83 symbol sets for the resident PCL 6 emulation fonts.
Symbol Sets for PCL 6 Emulation
Not all font names support all of the symbol sets listed. Refer to the Technical Reference to determine which symbols sets are supported by each font name.
