2 Printing label applications on your printer requires a special label fuser cleaner which prevents duplexing. See Ordering supplies for more information on obtaining a special wiper.
3 28 lb bond envelopes are limited to 25% cotton content.
4 Includes envelopes fed from the multipurpose feeder only.
5 Information on whether your vinyl label converter has passed Lexmark's criteria is available at Lexmark’s Web site (www.lexmark.com); search for “converter list.” You can also check Lexmark’s Automated FAX system (LEXFAXSM).
