For applications where these labels are run, use the Lexmark MS725 or MX725 printer model. • Narrow media batch jobs When printing on paper less than 210 mm (8.3 inches) wide, the printer speed may decrease and throughput could substantially reduce. If you print large jobs on narrow paper regularly, use the Lexmark MS725 or MX725 printer model, which is designed to print batches of 10 or more pages of narrow paper at a faster speed. For more information, contact your Lexmark sales representative. Note: A5 default orientation is landscape, which is also called as LEF, and is not considered as narrow media. The following table lists the maximum weights supported by the trays and the multipurpose feeder: Card stock1 Paper source Index Bristol Tag Cover Standard and optional 199 g/m2 (110 lb) 203 g/m2 (125 lb) 176 g/m2 (65 lb) 550‑sheet trays Multipurpose feeder2 199 g/m2 (110 lb) 203 g/m2 (125 lb) 176 g/m2 (65 lb) Labels Paper 180 g/m2 Dual‑web paper 180 g/m2 180 g/m2 180 g/m2 1 See "Grain orientation" on page 16 for specific recommendations. 2 Due to label design characteristics, unacceptable feeding may be experienced from the multipurpose feeder. Labels Thickness 0.102-0.305 mm (0.004-0.012 in.) Smoothness 100-400 Sheffield* * 150-250 Sheffield is optimal. Using media higher than 300 Sheffield could result in printing degradation. 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 and 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.
