Duplexer | Lexmark 912 guide

Media guidelines

The following are not recommended for your printer:

•Paper with a large cotton content

•Paper with a rough or heavily textured surface

•Coated papers, such as erasable bond

•Preprinted papers manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer

•Paper designed for inkjet printers

•Deformed or damaged paper

•Paper that is wet or has absorbed moisture

•Paper that is punched, embossed, or perforated

•Multiple-part forms

•Synthetic papers

•Thermal papers

•Recycled paper having a weight less than 75 g/m2 (20 lb)

Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures of up to 180°C (356°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in toner or the silicone in the fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements. Latex inks may melt.
