Tips on using envelopes

From the printer control panel, set the paper size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the envelopes loaded in the tray.

Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.

Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers.

For best performance, use envelopes made from 90g/m2 (24lb) paper or 25% cotton.

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.

Before loading the envelopes on the tray, flex and fan the envelopes to loosen them. Straighten the edges on a level surface.

Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes.

Tips on using labels

From the printer control panel, set the paper size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the labels loaded in the tray.

Print samples on labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.

For more information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide at http://support.lexmark.com.

Use labels designed specifically for laser printers.

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.

Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.

Before loading labels on the tray, flex and fan labels to loosen them. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
