Transparencies

Feed transparencies from the standard tray or the multipurpose feeder. Try a sample of any transparencies being considered for use with the printer before buying large quantities.

When printing on transparencies:

•Be sure to set the Paper Type to Transparency from the printer driver, MarkVision™ Professional, or the operator panel to avoid damaging the printer.

•Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or releasing hazardous emissions.

•To prevent print quality problems, avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies.

•Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

Selecting transparencies

The printer can print directly on transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Print quality and durability depend on the transparency used. Always print samples on the transparencies being considered for use before buying large quantities.

Lexmark recommends Lexmark Part Number 12A8240 letter size transparency and Lexmark Part Number 12A8241 A4 size transparency.

The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. (See “Paper Type” in the Menus and Messages Guide on the publications CD for detailed information about this setting.) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 230°C (446°F). Use only transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. For detailed information, see the Card Stock & Label Guide, which is available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.

Envelopes

Try a sample of any envelopes being considered for use with the printer before buying large quantities. For more information, see Loading the multipurpose feeder.

When printing on envelopes:

•To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.
