Lexmark 912 manual Labels, Card stock, Media guidelines

Media guidelines

•Adjust both multipurpose feeder guides to fit the envelope width.

Labels

Use only labels designed for laser printers. Use only label sheets that have no gaps between the labels, as shown. Try a sample of any labels before purchasing a large quantity.

Acceptable labels Unacceptable labels

Labels must be able to withstand temperatures of 180°C (356°F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions. For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on Lexmark’s Web site.

Feed labels only from the multipurpose feeder. When printing on labels:

•Use only paper labels. Do not use vinyl labels.

•Do not print a large number of labels consecutively.

•Do not use labels that have adhesive exposed on the sheets.

•Do not use labels that have coating or sizing applied to make them liquid-resistant.

•From the operator panel, from MarkVision Professional, or with the printer driver, set the Paper Type (or Media Type) to Labels.

For label loading instructions, see Loading paper.

Card stock

Load card stock in the multipurpose feeder only. Using the wrong paper source may cause paper jams or a failure to feed. The properties of the card stock—such as the orientation of the paper fibers, moisture content, thickness, and texture can affect the print quality.

For optimum results, we recommend using Springhill Index Plus 90 lb index card stock.

Card stock must be able to withstand temperatures up to 180°C (356°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.

For more information on card stock your printer supports, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on Lexmark’s Web site.

Always set the Paper Type (or Media Type) to Card Stock when printing on heavier paper. The printer then adjusts the fuser temperature and engine speed to ensure the best print quality.
