Printer specifications 118 When printing on labels: • Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the labels can withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°F) without sealing, curling excessively, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. • Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the labels can withstand 25 psi (172 kPa) pressure without delaminating, oozing around the edges, or releasing hazardous fumes. • 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. • Do not use labels with exposed adhesive. • Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die‑cuts on the label. • Be sure adhesive backing does not reach to the sheet edge. Zone coating of the adhesive at least 1 mm (0.04 in.) away from the edges is recommended. Adhesive material contaminates the printer and could void the warranty. • If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, remove a 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) strip on the leading and driver edge, and use a non‑oozing adhesive. • Portrait orientation works best, especially when printing bar codes. When printing on card stock: • Make sure the Paper Type is Card Stock. • Select the Paper Texture setting. • Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing may significantly affect the print quality and cause jams or other paper handling problems. • Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the card stock can withstand temperatures up to 210°C (410°F) without releasing hazardous emissions. • Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. • Use grain short card stock when possible. For more information, see "Maintenance procedures" on page 14. Lexmark X500 and X502n Limit label printing to occasional use of paper office labels designed for laser printers. The Lexmark X500 and X502n do not support vinyl or polyester labels. The Lexmark X500 and X502n support 90-210 g/m2 (24-55 lb) stock. Card stock and labels are supported from Tray 1 and Tray 2.
