Note: Always use the rear exit when printing on card stock. To minimize curl, use the rear exit when printing on labels.

When printing on labels:

Set the Paper Type to Labels from the printer driver, the Local Printer Setup Utility, or MarkVision.

Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper source.

Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.

Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the die cut.

Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Partial sheets will also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and cartridge warranties.

Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.

Use labels that can withstand pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).

Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.

Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.040 in.) away from edges. Adhesive material will contaminate your printer and could void your warranty.

If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip should be removed on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.

Remove a 3 mm (0.125 in.) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer.

Lexmark laser printers are renowned for their high-quality printing solutions tailored for both personal and business environments. They leverage robust laser printing technology, which utilizes a laser beam to produce sharp text and clear images on paper. This method is not only efficient but also exceptionally fast, making it ideal for high-volume print jobs.

One of the standout features of Lexmark laser printers is their exceptional print resolution.

This all-in-one functionality reduces the need for multiple machines, saving both space and maintenance costs. Additionally, many Lexmark models come equipped with intuitive touch-screen interfaces that simplify navigation and operation.

Another key characteristic is Lexmark's commitment to sustainability.

Furthermore, many models support mobile printing solutions, enabling users to print directly from their mobile devices via apps and services like Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print.

In summary, Lexmark laser printers are an excellent investment for those seeking high-quality, reliable printing solutions.
