Lexmark MS410 Printer User Manual


 
Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting
introduces semiliquid and volatile components into the printer.
Use grain short card stock when possible.
Tips on using envelopes
Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.
Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure that the
envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
For best performance, use envelopes made from 90g/m
2
(24lb bond) paper or 25% cotton. Allcotton envelopes
must not exceed 70g/m
2
(20lb bond) weight.
Use only new envelopes from undamaged packages.
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 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 twosided labels are not supported.
For more information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available at

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 240°C (464°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats can withstand up to 172kPa (25psi) 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 toner cartridge
warranties.
