Lexmark MS312dn Laser Printer Printer User Manual


 
Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inch) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between diecuts of the label.
Make sure the adhesive backing does not reach to the edge of the sheet. Zone coating of the adhesive should be
at least 1 mm (0.04 inch) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty.
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, then remove a 2mm (0.08inch) strip on the leading and driver edge,
and then use a nonoozing adhesive.
Portrait orientation is recommended, especially when printing bar codes.
Tips on using letterhead
Use letterhead designed specifically for laser printers.
Print samples on the letterhead being considered for use before buying large quantities.
Before loading letterhead, flex, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead. For information on how to load letterhead, see:
“Loading trays” on page 34
“Loading the multipurpose feeder” on page 38
Tips on using transparencies
Print a test page on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.
Feed transparencies from the standard tray, or the multipurpose feeder.
Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures
up to 185°C (365°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Note: If the transparency weight is set to Heavy and the transparency texture is set to Rough in the Paper menu,
then transparencies can be printed at a temperature up to 195°C (383°F).
Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies to prevent print quality problems.
Before loading transparencies, flex, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
