Printer specifications 82 Lexmark MS810, MS811, and MS812 The Lexmark MS810, MS811, and MS812 printer models print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. However the MS81x and MS71x printer models have been specifically designed for slightly different media applications. The MS81x printer models should not be used in the following customer applications: • Vinyl and Polyester labels For applications where these labels are run, the MS71x printer models are recommended. • Narrow Media Batch Jobs The MS810 printer model supports many standard and custom paper sizes. When printing on paper less than 210 mm (8.3 inches) wide, the printer speed may decrease. If you print large jobs on narrow paper regularly, consider the MS71x printer models, which are designed to print batches of 10 or more pages of narrow paper at a faster speed. Note: For the MS81x printer models, A5 default orientation is Landscape, which is also called as LEF, and thus A5 is not considered as narrow media. If vinyl labels are printed on the MS81x printer models, this can lead to print quality problems and printer damage. If narrow media batch jobs are printed, printer throughput could be substantially reduced. If either of these applications are being considered for the MS81x printer models, then contact your Lexmark sales representative for more information about the MS71x printer models.
