Printer-specific paper support 80 Card stock and label guidelines Card stock and label weights support The following media types are not supported on this printer: • Vinyl and polyester labels Printing these labels can lead to print quality problems and printer damage. 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.

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, then load the specialty media only up to the alternate paper fill indicator.

Card stock and label guidelines
Card stock and label weights support
The following media types are not supported on this printer:
•
Vinyl and polyester labels
Printing these labels can lead to print quality problems and printer damage. 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.

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, then load the specialty media only up to the alternate paper fill
indicator.
