Tips on using labels
• From the scanner control panel, set the paper size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the labels
loaded in the tray.
• Print samples on the labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.
• For more information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide on the Lexmark
Web site at
http://support.lexmark.com.
• Use labels designed specifically for laser printers.
• Do not use labels with slick backing material.
• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets
also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and toner cartridge
warranties.
• Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.
Tips on using letterhead
• Use letterhead designed specifically for laser printers.
• Print samples on the letterhead being considered for use before buying large quantities.
• Before loading letterhead, flex and fan the sheets to prevent them from sticking together.
• Page orientation is important when printing on letterhead.
