Tips on using labels
Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.
Notes:
Paper, dualweb paper, polyester, and vinyl labels are supported.
When using the duplex unit, speciallydesigned, integrated, and dualweb paper labels are supported.
Printing labels requires a special label fuser cleaner which is included with the special cartridge required for
label applications. For more information, see “Ordering supplies” on page 246.
For more information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide at
http://support.lexmark.com.
When printing on labels:
Feed labels from a 250sheet tray, a 550sheet tray, or the multipurpose feeder.
Use labels designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to verify that:
The labels can withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats can withstand up to 25 psi (172 kPa) pressure without
delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes.
Do not use labels with slick backing material.
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 diecuts 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 1.6mm (0.06in.) strip on the leading and driver edge, and
use a nonoozing adhesive.
Portrait orientation works best, especially when printing bar codes.
Tips on using card stock
Card stock is heavy, singleply 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.
When printing on card stock:
Feed card stock from a 250sheet tray, a 550sheet tray, or the multipurpose feeder.
Make sure the Paper Type is Card Stock.
Select the appropriate Paper Texture setting.
