Labels To ensure the best print quality, be sure to set the Paper Type to Labels in the Paper Menu. Labels automatically feed from tray 1. Do not feed labels from the 500-sheet trays. Label size is limited to letter-size and A4. Use only paper labels designed for laser printers. Follow these suggestions for best results when printing on labels: • Try a sample of any labels you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity. • Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material. • Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the die cut, the edge of the label, or the perforations, or between the die cuts. • Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a paper jam. • Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.040 in.) away from the edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and could void your service warranty. • If the printer is unplugged or loses power while printing labels, the labels should be removed manually before plugging the printer back in. For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide on the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD or on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com. Card stock The Optra W810 treats card stock the same as Plain Paper. It does not adjust the print speed or fuser temperature when the Paper Type is set to Card Stock. Card stock has a large array of properties, such as the orientation of paper fibers, moisture content, thickness, and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. Because the printer feeds A4 or letter-size card stock long edge first, we recommend using card stock cut grain long. Always try a sample of the card stock you are considering using with the printer before purchasing large quantities. When printing on card stock, do not use card stock that is perforated or creased. Paper jams may result. Paper handling 109

Labels
To ensure the best print quality, be sure to set the Paper Type to Labels in the Paper
Menu. Labels automatically feed from tray 1. Do not feed labels from the 500-sheet trays.
Label size is limited to letter-size and A4. Use only paper labels designed for laser print-
ers. Follow these suggestions for best results when printing on labels:
•
Try a sample of any labels you are considering using with the printer before pur-
chasing a large quantity.
•
Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
•
Do not print within 1 mm (0.040 in.) of the die cut, the edge of the label, or the per-
forations, or between the die cuts.
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing,
resulting in a paper jam.
•
Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recom-
mend zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.040 in.) away from the edges.
Adhesive material contaminates your printer and could void your service warranty.
•
If the printer is unplugged or loses power while printing labels, the labels should
be removed manually before plugging the printer back in.
For detailed information on label printing, characteristics, and design, refer to the
Card
Stock & Label Guide
on the
Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities
CD or on the Lexmark Web
site at www.lexmark.com.
Card stock
The Optra W810 treats card stock the same as Plain Paper. It does not adjust the print
speed or fuser temperature when the Paper Type is set to Card Stock. Card stock has a
large array of properties, such as the orientation of paper fibers, moisture content, thick-
ness, and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. Because the printer feeds A4
or letter-size card stock long edge first, we recommend using card stock cut grain long.
Always try a sample of the card stock you are considering using with the printer before
purchasing large quantities.
When printing on card stock, do not use card stock that is perforated or creased. Paper
jams may result.
