Envelopes
You can load up to 10 envelopes in the multipurpose feeder. Try a sample of any envelopes you are
considering using with the printer before buying large quantities. See page 55 of Using and loading
the multipurpose feeder for loading an envelope instructions.
When printing on envelopes:
Set the Paper Source to MP Feeder or Manual Env, set the paper type to Envelope, and select
the correct envelope size from the printer driver, in the Local Printer Setup Utility, or from
MarkVision.
Use envelopes made from 75 to 105 g/m
2
(20 to 28 lb) bond paper. For best performance and
fewer print media jams, do not use envelopes that:
Have excessive curl.
Are stuck together.
Are damaged in any way.
Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts or embossing.
Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.
Have postage stamps attached.
Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position.
Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Adjust the right paper guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
Load envelopes with the flap side down, and position the short edge nearest the return
address to enter the printer first. See page 55 of Using and loading the multipurpose
feeder for loading an envelope instructions.
If you are feeding self-sealing envelopes, open the rear output bin door so envelopes feed
straight out the back of the printer. The rear output bin holds about 10 envelopes.
Labels
Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are supplied in
letter size and A4 size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able
to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
Try a sample of any labels you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large
quantity.

Guide available on Lexmark’s Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.
