Paper types and weights supported by the printer

Notes:

Your printer model may have a 650-sheet duo drawer, which consists of a 550-sheet tray and an integrated 100-sheet multipurpose feeder. The 550-sheet tray part of the 650-sheet duo drawer supports the same paper as the optional 550-sheet tray. The integrated multipurpose feeder supports different paper sizes, types, and weights.

The optional 550-sheet tray is not available for all printer models.

1Paper types must be set to match the supporting paper weights.

2The duplex supports paper weights between 60–105 g/m2 (16–28 lb) grain long bond. The duplex does not support card stock, transparencies, envelopes, or labels.

3For 60 to 176 g/m2 (16 to 47 lb bond) paper, we recommend grain long fibers.

4Lexmark transparency part numbers 12A8240 and 12A8241 are supported from the 250-sheet tray, manual feeder, and multipurpose feeder.

5The pressure sensitive area must enter the printer first.

6100 percent cotton content maximum weight is 90 g/m2 (24 lb) bond.
