For paper and transparency specifications, refer to the Lexmark X422 Publications CD.
When printing on labels:
• Set the Paper Type to Labels from the printer driver, the Local Printer Setup Utility, or
MarkVision.
• Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper source.
• 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 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• 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.
• Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
• Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
• For the tray, load labels with the recommended print side face down.
