For more information, visit the Lexmark security Web page. You can also see the Embedded Web Server — Security: Administrator’s Guide for additional information: 1 Go to www.lexmark.com, and then navigate to Support & Downloads > select your printer.
Paper and specialty media guide 114 Paper and specialty media guide Using specialty media Tips on using card stock Card stock is heavy, single‑ply specialty media. Many of its variable characteristics, such as moisture content, thickness, and texture, can significantly impact print quality. Print samples on the card stock being considered for use before buying large quantities. When printing on card stock: • Make sure the Paper Type is Card Stock. • Select the appropriate Paper Texture setting.
Paper and specialty media guide 115 Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes. Tips on using labels Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities. Note: Use only paper label sheets. Vinyl, pharmacy, and two‑sided labels are not supported. For more information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide available at http://support.lexmark.com.
Paper and specialty media guide 116 • Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies to prevent print quality problems. • Before loading transparencies, flex, fan, and straighten the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together. Paper guidelines Selecting the correct paper or specialty media reduces printing problems. For the best print quality, try a sample of the paper or specialty media before buying large quantities.
Paper and specialty media guide 117 Fiber content Most high‑quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically treated pulped wood. This content provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling.
Paper and specialty media guide 118 Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.
