Grain Direction

Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long, running the length of the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.

For 60 to 135 g/m2 (16 to 36 lb bond) paper, we recommend grain long stock. For papers heavier than 135 g/m2 (36 lb bond), grain short is preferred. For the multipurpose feeder, we recommend 60 to 135 g/m2 (16 to 36 lb bond) paper, grain long. If you feed papers heavier than 135 g/m2 (36 lb bond) from the multipurpose feeder, grain short is preferred.

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.
