2 Printing This chapter covers tips for printing, how to print certain lists of information from your printer, and how to cancel a job. Tips for successful printing Tips on storing media Store your media properly. For more information, see Storing media. Avoiding jams If you select appropriate paper or speciality media (transparencies, labels, and card stock), you are assisting in trouble-free printing. See Avoiding jams hints for more information. Note: We recommend that you try limited samples of any paper or speciality media you are considering using with the printer before purchasing large quantities. By selecting appropriate paper or speciality media and loading it properly, you are able to avoid most jams. See Loading the trays for instructions on loading paper and speciality media into the standard tray, the optional 250-sheet legal size tray, and the optional 530-sheet tray. If you experience a jam, see Clearing jams for instructions. For hints to help you avoid jams, see Avoiding jams hints. Sending a job to print A printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with your printer. When you choose Print from a software application, a window representing the printer driver opens. Select the appropriate settings for the specific job you are sending to print. 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 box 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. Updated drivers, as well as a complete description of the driver packages and Lexmark driver support, are available from the Printing 20
