Statement of Limited Warranty

The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent

time-averaged measurements. Instantaneous power draws may be

substantially higher than the average.

Power Saver

This printer is designed with an energy-saving mode called Power

Saver. The Power Saver Mode is equivalent to the EPA Sleep

Mode. The Power Saver Mode saves energy by lowering power

consumption during extended periods of inactivity. The Power

Saver Mode is automatically engaged after this printer is not used

for a specified period of time, called the Power Saver Timeout. The

factory default Power Saver Timeout is 30 minutes for the

Lexmark E240/240n.

By Using the Local Printer Setup Utility, the Power Saver

Timeout can be modified between 1 minute and 240 minutes.

Setting the Power Saver Timeout to a low value reduces energy

consumption, but may increase the response time of the printer.

Setting the Power Saver Timeout to a high value maintains a fast

response, but uses more energy.

If the Power Saver Mode is affecting the effective use of this printer,

this mode can be disabled from the Local Printer Setup Utility (see

page 87).

Total energy usage

It is sometimes helpful to calculate the total printer energy usage.

Since power consumption claims are provided in power units of

Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the

printer spends in each mode in order to calculate energy usage.

The total printer energy usage is the sum of each mode's energy

usage.

supports USB connections to Sun Ray appliances and Sun workstations.

Visit the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com for a complete list of supported UNIX and Linux platforms.

3Installing software for network printing

Windows

In Windows environments, network printers can be configured for direct printing or shared printing. Both network printing

methods require the installation of printer software and the creation of a network printer port.

Follow the steps for the printing configuration and operating system in use to configure the network printer:

Installing software for direct printing

1Launch the drivers CD.

2Follow the instructions on the screen. Select the Suggested path to accept the defaults. Select Custom to choose

the software that is installed. The printer is automatically discovered on the network, an IP address is assigned,

and a network printer object is created in the printers folder.

3Print a test page to verify printer installation.

4Repeat steps 1–4 on every computer you want to enable to print directly to the network printer.

Printing configuration

Go to

page

Direct IP printing

• Printer is connected directly to the network using a

network cable, such as Ethernet.

• Printer drivers are typically installed on each network

computer.

Shared printing

• Printer is connected to one of the computers on the

network using a local cable, such as USB.

• Printer drivers are installed on the computer attached

to the printer.

• During driver installation, the printer is set up to be

“shared” so that other network computers can print to

it.

Printer

Windows

Setting up shared printing

Setting up shared printing requires several steps and should be done in the following order:

1Install the software on the computer attached to the printer.

2Share the printer on the network.

3Connect other network computers to the printer.

Installing software on the computer attached to the printer

1Launch the drivers CD.

2Follow the instructions on the screen.

3Connect the USB cable to the printer. Once Plug and Play is finished, a printer object will be created in the Printers

folder.

4Print a test page to verify local printer installation.

Sharing the printer on the network

1Open the Printers folder of the operating system.

2Select the printer object.

3Open the Properties of the printer, and click the option to share the printer. This requires assigning a shared name

to the printer.

4Click OK. If files are missing, prompts may appear to request the operating system CD.

5Check the following to make sure the printer was successfully shared.

•The printer object in the Printers folder now has a shared indicator. For example, in Windows NT 4.0, a hand

appears under the printer object.

•Browse Network Neighborhood. Find the host name of the attached computer, and look for the shared name

assigned to the printer.

Connecting other network computers to the printer

The printer driver or a subset of the driver information must be installed on every network computer that you want to enable

to print to a shared printer.

Using the peer-to-peer method

With this method, the printer driver is fully installed on each network computer. Each network computer retains control of

driver modifications. Each network computer handles the print job processing.

1Launch the Add Printer Wizard.

2Select the option to add a network printer.

3Enter the printer name or URL (if on the Internet or an intranet), and then click Next. If the printer name or URL is

unknown, leave the text box blank, and then click Next.

4Select the network printer from the Shared printers list. If the printer is not listed, enter the path of the printer in the

text box. The path looks similar to the following: \\<server host name>\<shared printer name>.

The server host name is the name of the server computer that identifies it to the network. The shared printer name

is the name assigned during the server installation process.

5Click OK. When prompted, select whether this printer will be the default printer for the client.

6When installation is complete, print a test page to verify.

Windows

7Repeat steps 1–6 on every network computer you want to enable to print to the shared printer.

Using the point-and-print method

Note: Point and print may not be supported in some 64 bit environments. Refer to the Lexmark Web site at

www.lexmark.com for the latest information. Look for a Knowledgebase article about 64 bit support

for the printer. Contact the place you purchased the printer for more information.

This method is usually the best use of system resources. The computer attached to the printer handles driver modifications

and print job processing for all print jobs including those routed from other network computers. This lets the other network

computers return to applications much faster. With this method, a subset of driver information is copied from the computer

attached to the printer across the network to the other computers. This is just enough information to send a print job to the

printer.

1On the next network computer you want to enable to print to the printer, double-click Network Neighborhood or

My Network Places on the desktop.

2Locate the host name of the computer attached to the printer, and double-click the host name.

3Right-click the shared printer name, and select the option to install the printer on your computer.

Wait a few minutes for the printer software to be copied from the computer attached to the printer to the computer

you are working on, and for a new printer object to be added to the Printers folder. The time this takes varies

based on network traffic and other factors.

4Close Network Neighborhood or My Network Places.

5Print a test page to verify printer installation.

6Repeat steps 1–5 on every network computer you want to enable to print to the shared printer.

Installing optional printer software

If you want to use any of the other software applications available on the drivers CD, now is a good time to set them up.

They can be installed by following the Custom install path.

Helpful tips for network printing

Assigning a printer IP address

If your network is using DHCP, an IP address is automatically assigned after you connect the network cable to the printer.

1Look for the address under the “TCP/IP” heading on the network setup page. See Printing a network

setup page.

2Go to Verifying the IP settings on page 19.

If your network is not using DHCP, then you must manually assign an IP address to the printer. An easy way to do this is to

use the IP Setup Utility.

Detailed instructions about installing and using this utility are located on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.

Launch the CD, and then click View Documentation Æ Software and Utilities Æ IP Setup Utility.

To use this utility, you will need to know the printer’s 12-digit physical address or Universally Administered Address (UAA).

Look for the UAA entry on the network setup page you printed earlier. You can use either the MSB or canonical form of the

UAA.

‡ Universal size ranges:

– Tray 1: 89–216 x 210–356 mm (3.5–8.5 x 8.27–14.0 in.)

– Tray 2: 148–216 x 210–356 mm (5.83–8.5 x 8.27–14.0 in.)

– Manual feeder: 76–216 x 127–356 mm (3.0–8.5 x 5.0–14.0 in.) (includes 3 x 5 in. cards)

Where can print media be loaded in the printer?

Your printer has two standard paper sources: an automatic 250-sheet paper feeder (Tray 1) and a single-sheet manual

feeder. Use Tray 1 for most print jobs. Use the manual feeder for a single piece of paper, transparency, envelope, paper

label, card stock, or index card. You can increase paper capacity by purchasing an optional 550-sheet drawer.

An output bin on top of the printer holds up to 150 sheets. The single-sheet rear exit provides a straight-through paper path

to help reduce curling and potential jams. This is especially useful for specialty media, such as transparencies, envelopes,

paper labels, card stock, or index cards.

Tips on choosing the right print media

Selecting the right paper or other media reduces printing problems. For best print quality, try a sample of the paper or other

media you are considering before buying large quantities.

See the Card Stock & Label Guide available on our Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com for more information about

which paper provides optimum results for your printing environment.

Paper

•For the best print quality, use 20 lb (75 g/m2) xerographic, grain long paper.

The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) grain long. Paper lighter

than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. Paper heavier than 90 g/m

2 (24 lb)

should be fed through the optional 550-sheet tray or the manual feeder.

•The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of 170°C (338°F) for non-MICR applications. Use

only paper able to withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions.

Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser

printers.

Preprinted forms and letterhead

•Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.

•Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.

•Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures

of 170°C (338°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner. Inks

that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your

paper supplier.

Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 170°C (338°F) without melting or

releasing hazardous emissions.

Transparencies

•Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand

temperatures of 170°C (338°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.

We recommend Lexmark laser printer transparencies: part number 70X7240 for letter size transparencies; part

number 12A5010 for A4 size transparencies.

•To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.

Envelopes

•Use envelopes made from 24 lb (90 g/m2) bond paper.

•Do not use envelopes that:

–Have excessive curl

–Are stuck together

–Are damaged in any way

–Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossments

–Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars

–Have postage stamps attached

Tips on choosing the right print media

–Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position

•Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 170°C (338°F) without:

–sealing

–excessive curling

–wrinkling

–releasing hazardous emissions

If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering using, check with the envelope supplier.

•A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.

Labels

•Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive on the sheets.

•Do not print a large number of labels continuously.

•Do not use vinyl labels.

•Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 170°C (338°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or

releasing hazardous emissions. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must also be able to

withstand 25 pounds per square inch (psi) (172 kilopascals) pressure.

Tips on storing print media and supplies

Card stock

•Preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality and cause media handling or

jamming problems.

•Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.

•Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting

introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer.

•Use card stock with a maximum weight of 163 g/m 2 and a minimum size of 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.).

Tips on storing print media and supplies

Storing paper

Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.

•Store paper in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (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, curl, or become damaged.

•Do not place anything on top of paper packages.

Storing supplies

Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packaging until you

are ready to use them.

Do not expose supplies to:

•Direct sunlight

•Temperatures above 35°C (95°F)

•High humidity (above 80%)

•Salty air

•Corrosive gases

•Heavy dust

Tips on preventing jams

You can avoid most paper jams by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer.

The following hints can help you avoid paper jams:

• Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper.

• Never mix media types within a tray.

• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before you load it.

• Do not exceed the maximum stack height.

• Push all trays firmly into the printer after loading them.

• Make sure the guides in the trays are positioned snug against the paper or specialty media.

• Do not remove paper trays while a job is printing. Wait for a Load Paper light sequence (see Load media on

page 62) before you remove the tray.

• Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

• Do not use envelopes that:

– Have excessive curl

– Are stuck together

– Are damaged in any way

– Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossments

– Have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars

– Have postage stamps attached

– Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position

• Use only recommended paper. See the Card Stock & Label Guide available on our Lexmark Web site at

www.lexmark.com for more information about which paper provides optimum results for your printing

environment.

• If you need detailed information before purchasing large quantities of customized paper, See the Card Stock &

Label Guide.
