Printer-specific paper support 71 The following table lists the maximum weights supported by the trays and the multipurpose feeder: Card stock* Labels Paper source Index Bristol Tag Cover Paper Dual‑web paper Standard and optional 199 g/m2 (110 lb) 203 g/m2 (125 lb) 176 g/m2 (65 lb) 550‑sheet trays 180 g/m2 180 g/m2 Multipurpose feeder2 199 g/m2 (110 lb) 203 g/m2 (125 lb) 176 g/m2 (65 lb) 180 g/m2 180 g/m2 * See "Grain orientation" on page 16 for specific recommendations. 2 Due to label design characteristics, unacceptable feeding may be experienced from the multipurpose feeder.

Tray fill line information Depending on construction, paper labels and card stock can sometimes be difficult to pick and feed reliably. Performance can be improved by controlling the number of sheets of media loaded in the tray. There are two fill lines in the tray. The solid line is the maximum paper fill indicator. No media should be loaded in the tray above this line or paper jams could occur. The dashed line is the alternate paper fill indicator. It should be used if any feed or reliability issues are noted with specialty media, including labels and card stock. If paper jams occur when completely filling the tray, load the specialty media only up to the alternate paper fill indicator. For more information on the printer models and feeding different types of media, contact your Lexmark sales representative. When printing on paper labels: • From the control panel, set the paper size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the labels loaded in the tray. • Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper tray. Combining print materials can cause feeding problems. • Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. Adhesive material may contaminate your printer. It could also void your printer and cartridge warranties. During printing, the number of labels per sheet can affect registration more than basis weight. Typically, the more labels per sheet, the better the registration.

Tray fill line information
Depending on construction, paper labels and card stock can sometimes be difficult to pick and feed reliably.
Performance can be improved by controlling the number of sheets of media loaded in the tray. There are two
fill lines in the tray. The solid line is the maximum paper fill indicator. No media should be loaded in the tray
above this line or paper jams could occur. The dashed line is the alternate paper fill indicator. It should be used
if any feed or reliability issues are noted with specialty media, including labels and card stock. If paper jams
occur when completely filling the tray, load the specialty media only up to the alternate paper fill indicator.
For more information on the printer models and feeding different types of media, contact your Lexmark sales
representative.
When printing on paper labels:
•
From the control panel, set the paper size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the labels
loaded in the tray.
•
Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper tray. Combining print materials
can cause feeding problems.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam.
Adhesive material may contaminate your printer. It could also void your printer and cartridge warranties.
During printing, the number of labels per sheet can affect registration more than basis weight. Typically, the
more labels per sheet, the better the registration.
