Adjust the width guides to fit the width of the envelopes.

Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes.

Note: This printer is intended for occasional paper label printing only.
For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available on
the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.

Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same source; mixing media can cause feeding

problems.

From the Paper menu, set the Paper Type to Labels.

Do not use labels with slick backing material.

Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or

releasing hazardous emissions.

Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets

also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and cartridge warranties.

Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.

Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.

Be sure adhesive backing does not reach to the sheet edge. Zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.)

away from edges is recommended. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty.

If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, remove a 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) strip on the leading and driver edge,

and use a non-oozing adhesive.

Portrait orientation works best, especially when printing bar codes.

Card stock is heavy, single-ply specialty media. Many of its variable characteristics, such as moisture content, thickness,

and texture, can significantly impact print quality. Print samples on the card stock being considered for use before

buying large quantities.

From the Paper menu, set the Paper Type to Card Stock.

Select the appropriate Paper Texture setting.

Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing may significantly affect the print quality and cause jams or

other paper handling problems.

Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the card stock can withstand temperatures up to 220°C (446°F)

without releasing hazardous emissions.

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 grain short card stock when possible.
