Printing

For information about setting up your printer, refer to the

setup sheet. See page 26 for a diagram of the printer parts.

Printing with your printer is as easy as:

1Insert the appropriate print cartridge (see next section).

2Load the print media (see page 2).

3Customize the printer settings (see page 4).

4Print your document (see page 6).

Step 1: Insert the appropriate print cartridge

Your printer uses one cartridge at a time: either a black

cartridge or a color cartridge. Your printer came with a color

cartridge, Lexmark part number 17G0060. You may also

purchase a black cartridge, Lexmark part number 17G0050.

•

To print your

entire

document using the cartridge already

installed in the printer, select

Automatic

from the

Document/Quality

tab of the Printer Properties.

•

To print the black pages of your document

separate

from

the color pages, select

Color Sort

from the

Document/Quality

tab of the Printer Properties.

The black pages print with the black cartridge, and the

pages containing color print with the color cartridge. The

printer sorts the pages into those two types, prints all the

pages of one type, and then prompts you when it’s time to

change the cartridge.

See pages 4 and 5 for information on selecting

Automatic

Color Sort

in the Printer Properties.

Loading banner paper

Use banner paper recommended for inkjets only. We do not

recommend using continuous form paper for dot matrix

printers.

Although the paper support holds up to 20 sheets of banner

paper, load only the number of sheets needed to make your

banner. For example, if your banner is 12 sheets long, load

only 12 sheets.

3Slide the paper guide to the edge of the banner paper.

4Continue with “Step 3: Customize the printer settings” on

return the paper support to the upright position.

Insert the leading edge of the first

page into the sheet feeder.

Pull the paper support up

slightly to unlock the front tabs.

Tilt the paper support back until it

locks in the horizontal position.

Place your stack of banner paper on

the paper support.
