Lexmark Z51 Series ColorFine Printer Driver for Microsoft Windows NT ---------------------------------------------------------- Tips: 1) After you install the Lexmark Z51 Series software, the Lexmark Z51 Series ColorFine program group appears under Start/Programs. 2) Many printing problems can be eliminated by setting Virtual Memory Initial Size to at least 128 MB. You should also set the Virtual Memory Maximum Size to at least 256 MB. Hint: Click Start/Settings/Control Panel; double-click on System and go to the Performance tab; in the Virtual Memory section, select the Change button; change the Initial Size of the Paging File Size for Selected Drive; change the Maximum Size of the Paging File Size for Selected Drive; then press the Set button. 3) This driver was designed to work best with the Default Datatype of LEMF. To select LEMF as the Print Processor Default Datatype: Click Start/Settings/Printers; right-click Lexmark Z51 Series ColorFine printer icon, then click Properties. Click the Print Processor button. Select the Lexmark Print Processor. Select LEMF as the Default Datatype. Click off "Always spool RAW datatype". Click OK. 4) If DOS jobs fail to print: More than one printer driver may be installed on a PC. To correct the problem, attach all other printer drivers to FILE: as follows: 1. Click Start/Settings/Printers. 2. Right-click on the printer and select Properties. 3. Go to the Ports tab and select FILE: from the list of ports. 4. Click on OK. 5. Repeat steps 2-4 for all printers except the Lexmark Z51 Series ColorFine. 5) There are three different print quality modes in the driver ranging from a "draft" mode to a 1200 DPI mode. The differences between these modes are in the dots per inch addressed, and the number of passes of the print head used to apply ink to the print medium. The greater the number of passes, the higher the print quality. High Speed: This is a 600x300 DPI high-speed "draft" mode. All printing is done with one pass. Normal: This is a 600x600 DPI mode. It is the default for the driver. Printing is done in either one or two passes, depending on the print media used. High Quality: This is the 1200x1200 DPI mode. All printing is done in four passes. 6) If you are unable to select 1200 Dots Per Inch (DPI) from within applications, you may select 1200 DPI mode from the driver. To get 1200 DPI mode from the driver for all documents: Click Start/Settings/Printers; right-click on the Lexmark Z51 printer icon; click Document Defaults; select High Quality; then click OK. To get 1200 DPI mode for a particular application: From the application's file menu, select Print, then Properties, Options, or Setup. Select High Quality; then click OK. 7) If you select RAW as the Print Processor Default Datatype, then print jobs will not start printing until the last page is spooled. 8) Peer-To-Peer printing works if the Peer's Print Processor Default Datatype is either RAW or LEMF. 9) Full graphic Freehand files might print fastest with the Default Datatype of NT EMF. To select NT EMF as the Print Processor Default Datatype: Click Start/Settings/Printers; right-click Lexmark Z51 Series ColorFine printer icon, then click Properties. Click the Print Processor button. Select the Lexmark Print Processor. Select NT EMF as the Default Datatype. Click off "Always spool RAW datatype". Click OK.Download Driver Pack
