Tips on using envelopes
Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.
When printing on envelopes:
Feed envelopes from the manual feeder or optional multipurpose feeder.
Set the Paper Type to Envelope, and select the envelope size.
Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the
envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
For the best performance, use envelopes made from 60 g/m
2
(16 lb bond) paper. Use up to 105 g/m
2
(28 lb bond)
weight for envelopes as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. All-cotton envelopes must not exceed 90 g/m
2
(24 lb bond) weight.
Use only new envelopes.
To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:
Have excessive curl or twist
Are stuck together or damaged in any way
Have windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
Have metal clasps, string ties, or folding bars
Have an interlocking design
Have postage stamps attached
Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
Have bent corners
Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes
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.
Tips on using labels
Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.
Note: Use only paper label sheets. Vinyl, pharmacy, and dual-sided labels are not supported.
For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available on
the Lexmark Web site at http://support.lexmark.com.
When printing on labels:
Use labels designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to verify that:
The labels can withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
Note: Labels can be printed at a higher fusing temperature up to 220°C (428°F) if Label Weight is set to Heavy.
Select this setting using the Embedded Web Server, or from the printer control panel Paper menu.
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.
