Lexmark X5100 printer. I copied a small item 3x3 and doubled its size. Now when I try to copy a full page only one small corner is reproduced. It appears I lost a default setting. How do I get a full page copied again. Wally

Do you also get the same font size result when making a copy using the Copy button from the printer operator panel?
It could be due to the print setting on the application that you're printing from. e.g. If you are using Word application, go to File > Page Layout > select Fonts and choose your preferred font size.

Hi,

You can photocopy on this printer by following these steps:

Note: You can make a quick color or black and white copy.

Press Color Copy or Black Copy on the control panel.

To make black and white, gray, or color copies:
1 Open the top cover of the All-In-One.

2 Place the item you want to copy face down on the glass. Make sure

the upper left corner of the front of the item aligns with the arrow.

3 Close the top cover.

4 Open the Lexmark All-In-One Center (see page 3).

The All-In-One Main Page displays.

5 Click See More Copy Settings to review and change the copy

settings.

6 Select your copy settings.

Note: You may want to reduce or enlarge the image.

7 Click Copy Now.

I hope this works for you. Kindly reply for further assistance. Good Luck!

Thanks for using Fixya!

Hello,

Start up your multi-function printer and computer. Wait until it has powered on completely before beginning.

Open the printer's lid and place your item on the copying surface with the side you want copied face-down on the glass. Double-check the alignment.

Shut the printer's lid. For large items, such as books, you may want to remove the printer lid rather than forcing it closed.

Choose the kind of copy you want: black-and-white or color. You also may have to select the kind of paper that you are copying.

Size the copy to the page if desired. Some multi-function printers allow you to expand or shrink the original to fit different sizes of paper.

.Enter the number of copies you want. You may do this on the multi-function printer or in the print setup of your computer. Make sure the paper tray has enough paper to finish your copying job.

Press the "Start" button. Other names for this might be the "Copy" or "Print" button.
Remove the pages as they are delivered from the printer's feeding mechanism.

Do not tug on the copies as they come out. Let them fall into your hands.

Take care.

MFP and scanner settings can be changed several ways: through the MFP control panel, the software application in use,
the print driver, MarkVision™ Professional, or the Web pages. Settings changed from the application or print driver apply
only to the job being sent to the MFP.
Changes made to print, fax, copy, and e-mail settings from an application override changes made from the control panel.
If a setting cannot be changed from the application, use the MFP control panel, MarkVision Professional, or the Web pages.
Changing a setting from the MFP control panel, MarkVision Professional, or the Web pages makes that setting the user
default.
Menus (A key is shown on the button.) Touch to access the menus. These menus are only
available when the MFP is in the Ready state.
The Menus button is on a gray bar called the navigation
bar. The bar contains other buttons described as follows.
Understanding the copy screens and options
Copy From: Opens a screen where you can enter the size of the documents you are going to copy.
• Touching any of the paper size icons on the follow-on screen will make that your selection and return you to the
Copy Options Screen.
• When Original Size is set to Mixed Sizes, you can scan different size original documents (letter and legal size
pages). They will be scaled automatically to fit the selected output media size.
Copy To: Opens a screen where you can enter the size and type of paper on which your copies will be printed.
• Touching any of the paper size icons on the follow-on screen will make that your selection and return you to the
Copy Options Screen.
• If the size settings for Copy From and Copy To are different, the MFP will automatically adjust the Scale setting to
accommodate the difference.
• If you have a special type or size of paper that you'd like to copy onto that is not normally in the MFP paper trays,
you can select MP Feeder, and manually send the type of paper you want through the MP feeder.
• When using Auto Match, the MFP will match the size of the original document as specified in the Copy From box.
If a matching paper size is not loaded in one of the paper trays, the MFP will scale the copy to fit loaded media.
Scale: Creates an image from your copy that is proportionally scaled anywhere between 25% and 400%. Scale can also be
set for you automatically.
• When you want to copy from one size of paper to another, such as legal size to letter size, setting your Copy From
and Copy To paper sizes will automatically change the scale to keep all the original document information on your
copy.
• Touching the arrow to the left lowers the value by 1%; touching the arrow to the right increases the value by 1%.
• Holding your finger on an arrow makes a continuous increment.
• Holding your finger on an arrow for two seconds causes the pace of the change to accelerate.

2. Select the "Copy quality" you want.
3. Open the top cover of the All-In-One.
4. Place the item you want to copy face down on the scanner glass. Make sure the upper left corner of the front of the item aligns with the arrow on the right of the All-In-One.
5. Close the top cover.
6. Change copy settings as needed.
Press "Black Copy" or "Color Copy."

hope this was helpful...

Please make sure you are positioning the page to be copied on the scanner bed correctly. There is usually one corner of the scanner where you should place the page.

Most scanners mark the "home" corner with either some obvious tic marks or even painted arrows.

Unlike most scanners, you must put the page that you want to copy in lower right corner of the glass (notice the small arrow pointing to the corner). This should fix any problem with an image being cut off. As far as faxing, I don't think the C3180 is able to fax pages. Hope this helps

go to control panel, open the printer, open the lexmark x5100, select printer menu , then select cancel all documents, do this in offline postion.
also delete content of temp folder c:\windows\temp

sounds like your printers settings have accidentally been set to print a smaller area. When you print, look into the area that says page settings or properties before you print, you may find the settings altered. If the settings are set to print full page, then post back as we will need to explore other issues. Cheers lilacgerry
