Labels

The MFP can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are supplied in letter size, A4 size, and legal size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 230°C (446°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).

Try a sample of any labels you are considering using with the MFP before purchasing a large quantity.

For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.

Note: Labels are one of the most difficult print media for laser MFPs. All MFP models require a special fuser cleaner for label applications to optimize feed reliability. See Ordering supplies for information on obtaining a label fuser cleaner.

For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, contact the place where you bought your MFP.

After printing approximately 10,000 pages of labels (or each time you replace the print cartridge), complete the following steps to maintain MFP feeding reliability:

1Print five sheets of paper.

2Wait approximately five seconds.

3Print five more sheets of paper. When printing on labels:

•Set the Paper Size/Type menu item to Labels in the Paper menu. You can set the Paper Size/ Type from the MFP control panel, the MFP driver, or from MarkVision Professional.

•Feed vinyl labels from the standard 250- or 500-sheet trays or the optional 250- or 500-sheet drawers. For vinyl labels, set the Paper Type to Labels, the Labels Texture to Smooth, and the Label Weight to Heavy, or set the Paper Type to vinyl labels and the texture and weight to normal.
