When printing on card stock:
•Be sure to select Card Stock in the Paper Type menu item in the Paper Menu. (See Paper Type for detailed information about these settings.)
•Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality and cause paper handling or jamming problems.
•Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.
For more information, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide, available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Choosing 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 you are considering before buying large quantities.
To ensure high quality output on transparencies, we recommend using the following Lexmark transparencies. They have been designed specifically for your printer:
P/N 12A5940 (letter size)
P/N 12A5941 (A4 size)
The Paper Type setting should be set to Transparency to help prevent jams. (See Paper Type for detailed information about this setting.) Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 212°C (414°F). Use only transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. For detailed information, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide, which is available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Note: Transparencies cannot be fed from trays other than the optional heavy media tray and the multipurpose feeder.
Be careful when you handle transparencies. Fingerprints on the surface of the transparency cause poor print quality.
