Paper and specialty media guide 42 Tips on using envelopes • From the printer control panel, set the paper size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the envelopes loaded in the tray. • Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities. • Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. • For best performance, use envelopes made from 90‑g/m2 (24‑lb) paper or 25% cotton. • Use only new envelopes from undamaged packages. • To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that: - Have excessive curl or twist. - Are stuck together or damaged in any way. - Have windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing. - Have metal clasps, string ties, or folding bars. - Have an interlocking design. - Have postage stamps attached. - Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position. - Have bent corners. - Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes. • Adjust the width guides to fit the width of the envelopes. • Before loading the envelopes on the tray, flex and fan the envelopes to loosen them. Straighten the edges on a level surface. Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes. Tips on using labels • From the printer 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 labels being considered for use before buying large quantities. • For more information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide 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. • Before loading labels on the tray, flex and fan labels to loosen them. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
