For paper and transparency specifications, refer to the Lexmark X215 User’s Guide.
Use only materials recommended for use with laser printers.
To prevent specialty media sheets from sticking together, remove each sheet from the output bin as it
is printed.
When printing on labels:
• Set the Paper Type to Labels from the printer driver.
• Use standard size products (either A4 or Letter).
• Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the die cut.
• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a
paper jam. Partial sheets will also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive,
and could void your printer and cartridge warranties.
• Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 180°C (356°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Verify that your label adhesive material can tolerate a fusing temperature of 180°C (356°F) for
0.1 second.
• Use labels that can withstand pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between
die-cuts of the label.
• Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone
coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.040 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material will
contaminate your printer and could void your warranty.
