• Do not load partial sheets with areas exposed by missing labels; this can cause labels to peel
off during printing, jam, and contaminate your printer and your print cartridge with adhesive. It
can also void your printer and cartridge warranties.
• Avoid using labels that may release hazardous emissions when heated.
Note: Labels are one of the most difficult print materials for laser printers. Your printer
requires a special fuser cleaner for label applications in order to optimize feed
reliability. See Ordering supplies for information on obtaining a label fuser
cleaner.
After continuously printing approximately 10,000 page sides of labels (or each time you replace the
print cartridge), complete the following steps to maintain printer feeding reliability:
1 Print five sheets of paper.
2 Wait approximately five seconds.
3 Print five more sheets of paper.
For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, refer to the Card Stock & Label
Guide, available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Choosing card stock
Card stock is single-ply and has many properties. The orientation of paper fibers, moisture content,
thickness, and texture can all affect printing on card stock. See Print material specifications for
information on the preferred weight for the grain direction of print materials.
When printing on card stock:
• Be sure to select Card Stock in the Paper Type menu item in the Paper Menu. (See Paper
Type for detailed information about these settings.)
• Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality
and cause paper handling or jamming problems.
• Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.
